Of course, all Australian's with Disabilities compliant.... Which would work, since the guy taking donations at the Wal Mart yesterday didn't know if I donated a bill of money or a piece of paper, only hearing it rustle. Collecting donation to train guide dogs....
I also like the idea of plastic money, gives us something to do with a lot of land fill...

"...Citizens First decided to revoke my debit card there when I closed my account, instead of just not fucking me."
Well, what did you expect? What were you going to do with the debit card if there was no longer an account from which the money would be withdrawn?

Cancel it, not revoke.... Revoking is a bad thing, cancelling it when an account is closed shows that I did it properly....

Man I've been out of the states too long, almost 8 months now.
After visiting places like Bahrain, Oman, UAE, and Singapore though and using their money I prefer American currency. I don't like bills that are different sizes, although different colors aren't too bad.
The only thing I don't like about this new $20 would have to be the stupid little yellow 20s.

I bet the old European coins and notes all had nicknames. Guilders certainly had. But the euro hasn't got any widely used nicknames yet, despite the occasional incredibly silly campaign by a miscellaneous pointless organisation.
The silliest coins I've ever had were 10 Czech Heller coins. They're worth �0.003, and made out of something very light. Almost plastic-y, but I guess it was some sort of cheap-ass alloy. (Heh! A quick search on Google finds that 10 and 20 Heller coins will cease to be legal tender on the 31st of October, this year)

Well, no, because as has been pointed out, British currency doesn't. Except quid, but I half expect that to stay in anyway if/when we switch to the Euro.

Yes, I prefer large denomination bills over coins, unless they are very thick gold ones, say about two to three ounces.
