  1. neil brought me here!
  2. Canada did it first
  3. If the Aussie dollar changed its name to 'Dollarydoos', it would be the most legendary bank note in the world.
  4. Thanks for making the video on this! I know the guy who started the petition for that note and see him aroudn all the time!
  5. Colorful note ;)
  6. even with all those gimmicks the US dollar is still more valuable 😂
  7. I disagree. You can play records with Canadian dollar bills as well, and theres hidden UV print, and special windows to shine lasers through, and braille, and more.
  8. Interesting information, thank you for sharing..
  9. I want my 5 minutes back
  10. Would I need a larger wallet to hold these notes? #InBetween
  11. Legend says if you scratch the maple leaf on the Canadian $50 it smells like maple syrup.
  12. it doesn't matter, english plastic fivers are also made in australia
  13. When mum givesyou the new aussie 5 dollarydoo for school







    BOI o_o
  14. Would it work better as a record needle if you rolled it up into a cone?
  15. The new five dollar has a dent in it so blind people can read it
  16. I was naturally very skeptical of this tripe, so I actually did the research, and surprise! It turned out I was right; America is the only country with its own currency. Look at Australia. They don't have their own currency. They should get a currency, maybe something made out of plastic, and call it the dollar. That would be nice. Unfortunately, the United States is just the first and only country to use money in its economy. The rest of the countries will just have to continue being our slaves until they can invent banking.
  17. That microscope is pretty cool!
  18. There are some factual shortcomings in this video.

    Firstly, it is said that, in adopting decimal currency, we broke free from "the mother country". We were previously using AUSTRALIAN pounds, shillings and pence – not British currency. British currency wasn't legal tender in Australia.

    While talking about suggested names for the new currency, the presenter fails to mention that it was nearly going to be called the "royal", a suggestion driven by a Prime Minister who was a royalist bootlicker and a wannabe Englishman. Fortunately, there was such a public outcry over that name that the more pragmatic "dollar" was adopted instead.

    The new five-dollar note has a tactile feature that enables sight-impaired people to identify it as a five-dollar note (and the other denominations forthcoming in this new series will have that feature as well). The new note also has features that can only be seen when they fluoresce under ultraviolet light.

    More facts and less gush next time, please.
  19. wait. where the hell do i get a clip on microscope like that. that's fantastic
  20. Wikipedia: According to the 2008 edition of Guinness World Records the current series of Swiss Franc notes is the most secure in the world with up to 18 security features including a tilting digit which can only be seen from an unusual angle, a UV digit that can only be seen under ultraviolet light and micro text. According to the central banks, the ratio of counterfeited bank notes is about 1 in 100,000 of real bank notes for the Swiss franc, of 1 in 20,000 for the Euro, of 1 in 10,000 for the United States dollar and of 1 in 3,333 for the Pound sterling.
