I don't see whats so bad about it. It's a whole heck of a lot better than our uber-crappy US bills. bleh... straight green for everything got really boring years and years ago.
Thats one funky bill. It doesn't look too bad I suppose. Better than US currency for sure. I don't know how you Americans can even SEE what bill your giving the waitress when your getting tanked in a dark bar.
sorry I don't know of a link but if you get chance check out the Aussie notes, pink/purple for $5, blue for $10, red/ornange for $20, yellow/gold for $50 and green for $100 plus there made from plastic
at least we don't get em confussed in the dark unless we're really drunk

English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Kind of defeats the purpose of all the new security features doesn't it? Just counterfeit the old ones. I don't understand why they wouldn't expire the old ones after a certain grace period, a couple of years maybe.

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry Cox
Eventually, old notes end up at banks. I think banks exchange them for the newer models with the Dept. of the Treasury, and Treasury destroys them. There are always a lot of older notes in circulation, and I suspect people would freak if the cash they had to make the exchange themselves.
I guess the best you could expect is that, eventually, a brand new, crisp discontinued note would arouse suspicion.
When I'm going to a dark bar, I put my ones in my front-right pocket, my fives in the front-left pocket, the tens in my left-rear pocket, and the twenties in my socks...
Well and what happens when you are short of everything except from 20 $ bills?
You buy something costing 2$ with a 20$ one and end with 1 10$ 1 5$ and 3 1$.
I'd like to see you twisting around for 5 minutes to put all of them in the good pocket
