I wanted to do this a while back, whn the new notes started comming out. But I could not find pictures of them anwhere.

Annways, this is the currency of Canada. Is it not cool?

















And this one is no longer printed as of early 2000's, I had some way back before I bought a computer. I want a couple of dozen of these again:




Got pictures of yours?

Did you know that Antartica has it's own currency?





I dont get it, why would they need money?

The olde Dutch banknotes rocked, they were all colorful and spaced out.
Like so:

indeed. those new canadians remind me of the old guilders.
the very old guilders were cool too imo, with the lighthouse et al

I have a yellow 50 guilder note at home, it's cool.

guilders were nerve-jangling, i miss them.

only ever see euros as numbers on a computer screen - what do the notes look like, are they pale grey and greasy to the touch?

pretty much. theres a slight variation in color (5 is green, 10 is red, 20 is blue) but not as much as the old dutchonotes.
they all look washed out

they also differ in size btw. 5 euro note is smaller than the average monopoly bill which is a fucking drag if you like to keep all your money folded & bundled like i do

They have colour, but it's a soft, nonoffensive, cowardly kind of colour. The kind of colour that would much rather be greyscale. Behold:

They definetly feel different, when I was in Europe I had some with me that I brought back and the size is completly different than the stuff I have seen before.

At least they come in different sizes and colors, so you can tell them apart, and not all the same like stupid US dollars.

paper money will be used for toilet paper soon...scared?...

Every other country in the world has cool looking currency with symbols of their culture on it.

We've got one picture of a president, and a bunch of nationalist symbolism and cryptic references to the wackiest, craziest shit that nobody but the original designers would ever understand for sure.

says that trading against the canadian dollar is like playing 'burning stick of dynamite hot potato' with yourself.

Is there any currency in the world that is still backed by gold?

No major ones, no. Everyone pulled out of the gold standard around the 70s I think.

Hence the dip in the chart.

by design...its almost over...

Indeed, our currency is boring, and needs a major redesign.

The one thing I do like about it, is the fact that it's not all different sizes. :icon14:

If you're so hot on it, there are sites that operate with digital gold currency.

Norwegian currency:



The 1kr and 2kr bills were stopped in 1950, 1kr became coin only, the 5kr bill went coin only in 63, and the 10kr in 84.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE HAMILTONS BABY

winner:

why do all the dudes on those pound notes look like emo fags

lol our currency may look cool I guess but it sucks to have to carry around change in your pocket all the time because of the loony and the toonie. I often have like 10-20$ in change at any given time which sucks ass.
