Then the bills in your pocket are old. They're phasing 'em out, though.
I got an old-style (small portrait, monochrome, not shiny) $20 bill from an ATM last month, and it was surreal. I hadn't realized how long it's been since I'd seen one.

Ic was looking at some of my money while in NYC ( I was told to count it 3 times a day), and I saw many different types of bills, from the newer to the old ones.

Told to count it 3 times a day? Way to make you guys look like backwater hick tourists.

The breaking up of the royal coat of arms on the new British coins reminds me of Mexico's coins. The 1, 2, 5, and 10 peso coins are made up of two pieces; an outer ring made from a different metal than the center piece. The outer rings of the 1, 2, and 5 peso coins each have different rings from the Aztec sun stone while the center of the 10 peso coin has the center of the sun stone. The four coins together contain most of the Aztec calendar.

Why would you repeatedly count your money? Pickpockets are not going to take your wallet, remove a portion of the money, then put your wallet back.

We were told to do it in our hotel rooms, or on the coach busses that we traveled on. I managed to only spend about $100 out of $200. Mostly on food. I don't want to see another McDonalds for 6 months. The hotel room was a piece of shit. -The Hotel Pennsylvania, though it is situated right near Madison Square garden, and only 18 blocks from Times Square, though there are two peep show houses located within a block, so the location is not THAT ideal. No one smiles in NYC! A man in a mini van told all 200 of us to fuck off as we crossed the street to load the buses to go home yesterday.

They made you pay for your food?? I had a trip in 8th grade to Washington DC, which was a 24 hour drive for us (and we actually did spend 24+ hours on the frigging *bus*) and our meals were taken care of. We paid $650 to get to go, and the company got discounts on tours, food, hotel rooms, etc. so we could spend all our pocket money on fauxkleys and Siko and Ralex watches.
