Australian Bank Notes are the Best in the World



Proof that Australian bank notes are the best in the world because they are sized according to a log scale. Also, they are water-proof. I compare Australian, Canadian, UK and USA bank notes in an unbiased competition to see which is the best. My dual criteria are: - the closest log-scale fit between the value and physical object for each note - able to survive a being left in pocket and going through the wash If you disagree: cast your vote now! If you think I have missed an even better currency: I accept bribes in whatever the currency may be.

  1. Why ther is no £100-bank note?
  2. What about Euros?
  3. We get it. Australian notes increase in size based on value. The graph is not necessary.
  4. Nope. Zimbabwean dollars are the best - where else can you get a piece of currency valued at 1x10^14?!?

    Also, US and UK currency are waterproof - they don't get any weaker when wet, as they are both cloth rather than paper. Not tear-proof, though. (Well, the 20 and 50 pound notes are polymer.)
  5. update it with the new £5 note
  6. How about euro ?
  7. How do UK vending machines work?
  8. We have polymer bank notes now
  9. what about the new 5 pound notes!!!
  10. The argument is entirely based on whether you're a mathmetician who frequents the beach or not. Meanwhile, Canadian notes are based on whether you're a physicist (who particularly likes defraction) who frequents the beach or not. Personally, I'll take lasers and maple syrup over log functions and vegemite.
  11. I live in France and we have a unique curr...
    Actually, they're all euros...
  12. I know this is from a year ago but I think you should get a micrometer and measure the depth and THEN give your verdict!
  13. Why can't the world have an international currency? Like ever nation can all use a specific currency along with having their own, making it easier for people to pay for things that are not from the country they are visiting.
  14. Ah, but the thickness of the Pound increases logarythmically in the 4th dimension!
  15. What about nz notes
  16. why does no one ever include Canada?
  17. Whst's so good about the biols being on a log scale?
  18. Euro bank notes (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200,500) : for length, R²=0.99869905
    Beaten!
  19. New UK fivers amiright
  20. OMG, a 100 dollar Australian​ note, I live in Australia and I have never seen one of those before
