Just the opposite. You know exactly what note you have in hand even before removing it from your wallet.
When I was in the States I found the dollar to be a PITA: All notes had the same color and the same size.:dead:

Actually, we have different size bills here in the UK (not sure if they all differ....wallet is a little light at the mo) so we've never known any different.

It's the different cplours of each of our bills/notes that I think differentiates them from one another the most.

Personally, I would not care if the bill just had computer text and anti-counterfeiting stuff on them. To me, it is a tool of commerce. A tool I hardly use these days.

I can't remember anytime in the last 10 years when I carried a 100 dollar bill. :nope:

I would also like to see the printed on different materials than paper. Paper wears out quickly and is easily torn and dirtied.

Money is actually one of the dirtiest materials the skin on your hand ever comes into contact with.

Give it all to me and save yourselves the bother :DL

Then why is money laundering a crime? :D

You can't fundamentally transform America into the Euro-Socialist model without pretty money!

My answer to that is, since we mass produce the bills anyways, why not bother? It's not like someone has to create each and every bill by hand. But that's just my 2 cents.
