Based on the pictures of the new US $20 that FuNkY CaPrIcOrN showed in his thread, I thought it would be cool to see currency from other places.

(I didn't want to hijack his thread so I started this one.)

The similarity between the 50 and the 10 coins is well annoying <_<

2 SFR = about 1 British pound = &#036;1.6 US

Which country has the highest value note? Switzerland&#39;s biggest is about &#036;800US

You forgot some. I am, however, going to leave out all the strange commemorative quarters and nickels and so on we&#39;ve had. Even though I constantly seem to get those "picture quarters." You know the ones I mean. ;)

Yeah, the good old days, when everything was cheaper, and it didnt take 3 minutes to collect 2.67 from your wallet to pay for a bread or whatever... I&#39;m still not used to it. But thats probably because we dont use coins that much since we "pin" all we buy...

Yes, those and your pennys and nickles, etc., are not bothered with, either.

Your quarter is (as I&#39;m sure you&#39;re aware) the bane of American vending machine users and those who service them; thick-headed, the lot of them. ;)

good god, if we had money like some of that (especialy the sunflower one, and that cartoonish 1000 note) I&#39;d never wanna spend it.

This thread made me think of a site that used to make me laugh alot...this guy&#39;s pretty funny, and has some really
weird money&#33;

Here (http://www.lileks.com/money/index.html)


http://www.lileks.com/money/argentina/onefront.jpg

And so the collection begins: with one of the uglier bills on the planet. No one on Argentinian money seems happy to be there. They&#39;d all prefer to be elsewhere - it&#39;s as if this is an imposition on their busy life.


This fellow is obviously a sharp character, and pressed for time. What do you want? My head is vanishing into my torso. I have no time for you. Spend me. Be gone

I haven&#39;t seen the 1000kr bill in a long time(the bank-machines only pass out 100kr and 500kr bills), is that your own scan, bot?

Maybe I should scan my brother&#39;s caoin collection btw, he&#39;s got 40 something different currencies, among those the old romanian ones that feel like they&#39;re made out of aluminum.
