Canadian Currency

Darwin on English currency? Government sanctioned heresy?

Cool, my gf's parents still have a $1000 Canadian bill.

I think we need to get rid of some of the change like the $0.01

[Turbine]

Yeah tell me about $0.01

I must have $20 worth of one cent change, and I can't doo anything with it.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE HAMILTONS BABY

Man, you acting like you ain't never seen a 10 befo'

Check your local grocery stores they sometimes have coinstars.

[Grandpa Stu]

coinstar kinda blows cuz they take a percentage of your change. personally i go to my bank because they have a change counting machine and they don't charge for it.

but those coin counting machines aren't always accurate either.

[BlueGene]

Yeah I know they cheat you, but not much else you can do.

Check this out http://www.deadprogrammer.com/?p=1787

"For consistency, we began with equal piles of $87.26 worth of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters that we had gotten from a local bank in coin envelopes.

Talk about a tough economy. The machines at both Commerce Bank and Coinstar gave us less back than we put in -- Commerce Bank missed by a whopping $7.02, while Coinstar was off by 57 cents."

winner:

i know that there are designs and security shit in the big circle area near the middle but personally i think it looks bad having such an odd "blank" space in the middle.

In the UK different banks can print their own notes. Not sure of this is true elsewhere but I ahven't seen it in anywhere I've been.

So for example a bank in Northern Ireland produces plastic fivers.



Technically it's legal tender throughout Britain, but try buying something with this in England. People get turned away just 'cause they tried to buy something with Scottish notes.

Yep I use a lot of those when I hit the bars.
