Traveling really makes you realize how completely lame US currency is.
2010 is the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution, and they have put out some sweet (plastic) notes to commemorate it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lukefrancl/4273195644/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/lukefrancl/4273195644/
Euro notes are nicer than dollars, but pretty lame overall. But non-Eurozone countries still have some cool bills. Denmark's in particular impressed me.
- michaelcampbell 17y agoLame in what sense; visually?
- 100k 17y agoYes, and from a usability perspective. All US currency is the same size, shape, and (now with minor variations) color and design. Other countries have very different designs, sizes, and colors for different denominations. It makes it easier to pick out a bill from others and more fun to look at.
- michaelcampbell 17y agoGotcha. I understand the reasoning behind different sizes, but it seems unwieldy. Having never used it for any length of time though, I'm sure I'm over analyzing it. But yes, other countries' currency seems much more artistic, for sure.
