Same thing goes for our banknotes:

I remember when I came to the US in 1982 and passed round a £20 note for some guys to look at. They were amazed how big it was and one of them said "All our bills in the US are the same size, so blind folks can't be sure what they're handing out". I'd never thought of that before... why is a $100 bill the same size as a $1 bill? And do you still have dollar bills? We got rid of our £1 note and replaced it with a coin years ago.
