Our notes are just cool these days, especially the pretty much indestructible plastic they are made from... http://www.rba.gov.au/banknotes/types/index.html

Also known as the Strawberry, Blueberry, Orange, Pineapple and Avocado

We do have the strongest currency in the world, I proved this in South Africa when I gave the biggest Afrikaaner you've ever seen a AU$10 note and asked him to break it.

In all seriousness, our colourful notes are excellent for people who have vision impairments and the elderly.

And they're also useful if you run out of notes in your Monopoly set .

Our money is purdy.... I never seem to have much of it to tell though

Yer... I don't think any of us ever have enough of it... my wife puts me on rations with the stuff... damn it.

I think the nation's mood on joining the Euro may well change when we get Charles' noggin on our banknotes

This side of Hadrian's wall we have 3 sets of banknotes: Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of Scotland and Clydesdale bank all issue notes, in addition to the Bank of England notes. I don't think Liz's face is on any of the Scottish ones. However, the designs are starting to look more like Euro notes.

UK money just looks ugly and everyone is used to the USD

GBP is worth twice as much as the USD, so I would say the GBP looks much better - anyone who says the GBP is ugly, i'll cut you a deal, swop me $250 for £250....

That is indeed a fine specimen of a woman gracing those notes!

At $0.97 to the US$1 it would be an expensive Monopoly set.
Parity, here we come. And beyond!
And then.. cheap snowboarding and fishing gear will be mine.. mwahahhaaha

At $0.97 to the US$1 -Parity, here we come

No booo! My income is all in USD.. it sux0rs that our $ is so high right now.. bad for exporters, even lil ones like me.

Paypal fees and fees on their exchange rates mean I am already losing about 5% :'(

What's the NZ $ doing.. might have to emigrate

$ = crap going to fail
£ = don't know who it will act, it's hard to say
€ = more stable in the long term. win over $.

US currency confuses me... its all just the same colour! Have to actually look at what I'm doing with it when handling US$.

which is great to make perfect copies

You can only pay with pounds. That's the currency here.

Lots of shops & other businesses accept Euros.

 

[DoctorWatsOn]

If I had my own country, it would be better then everyones!

And only have coins....

Try telling that to the Irish.

 

[Lycaon]

In my opinion the Euro sucks.

If the UK ever adopt the Euro I will bloody immigrate.... though obviously not to a country in Europe.

 

[DSF]

The hardest currency in the world

Is at about US$0.72, highest I've ever seen it. Not good for our export industry, but makes XF cheaper for me
