All of our 'paper money' is now plastic. The new 5's just came out 5,10,20,50,and 100 all plastic.

You've seen those little raised dots on the Canadian paper money? (Braille)
They are there because the blind got tired of being ripped off. Hey buddy, 'is this a ten? No, it's a one.'

Nothing a hot clothes iron won't fix.:arrgh!::haha:

Sorry Ray and Stevie.:dead:

I wish. :rotfl2:

Nah, I suggested my arse and was turned down...bummer. :arrgh!:

Ducky..:O:

Paper money is I.O.U's for the lame person its not money and now they are going to replace real money (coins) with plastic. The Banking industry must be pissing their pants saying look at those jokers falling for another con.

The Tories have managed to sell us the idea of a 12 sided £1 coin.

Probably at about £1.20 each.

Reminds me of chocolate money at xmas :)

The big reason to switch to coins is they last longer. Canada switched to $1 and $2 dollar coins a while back. I just checked what I had on me and one $1 dollar coin is from 1987 and another one is from 1992. Typically a one dollar paper bill had a lifetime of about one year.

We've had Braille numbers on our paper money for decades by now and the notes have different sizes. (was already like that when we still had the D-Mark:cool:)

True that :yep:

We started that with the Journey series in 2001

:hmmm:

When you look closer...
 

...money is kind of stupid. In this day and age it's all just numbers in a computer system. But, our governments still insist on producing physical fiat cash that isn't worth the paper it's printed on or the metals used to mint the coins. The US government spends more $'s to stamp pennies than the objects are worth. :hmmm:

Time to get rid of them. Canada did and I hope the nickel will be next. They are not worth picking up off the ground.:O:

You leave them on the ground, then. I will pick them up. It only takes twenty to make a buck and I get some exercise while I am at it. :D

I'll crazy glue a couple to the pavement for you.:D
