My favorite old school foreign paper money is the old Bank of England pound notes that were huuuuge.

Why?

Because they're huuuuuge!

Conversely I have some 1920s Austrian currency that is fairly tiny, it looks more like a coupon than actual money and is printed on really, really slick shiny paper. The most raggedy ass money I ever saw were Wiemar Reichmarks, you could practically feel the shredded rags in the grain of the paper and if you held it up to the light it looked like a frickin screen door. A couple dumptrucks of them and you could, maybe, buy yourself a screen door.

My gf's plastic Mexican money is weird, but I guess it has the added bonues that drugs don't stick to the inside if you roll it up and snort something with it...

...sort of a cost saving measure I guess.

The Swedish bikini team is an American invention.

Real Swedish women are topless on the beach.

I agree. I need to write a letter to the National Bank and tell them we need new pictures.

True, but I remember the whole Big Deal when they started issuing the Susan B. Anthony dollar coins. Wave of the future they said...

This thread made me start looking around on the net and I found they actually have official banknotes in Antarctica, in dollars, and yes there are a metric shitton of penguins on them.
