My dad, as a taxi driver, once met a nice gentleman who handed my dad a twenty dollar bill for a short cab ride. My dad just took a cursory look at the bill and gave the man change. Only at the end of the day did he realize that it was an actual one dollar bill with fake "20"s taped on the corners of the bill! #18, It depends on the situation, which is where social engineering comes in play when the quality of the counterfeit is low.

For that reason, the finer the print, the more distinctive watermarks, the more unusual the paper, the better. The Australian peso is printed on plastic, and actually has a transparent window. The plastic is treated so that it has a particular 'feel' to your fingers. That it is boring or unattractive comes a distant second in relevance. The Federal Reserve should copy the aussies. P.

I also have about $10 in Canadian pennies stashed in the closet. How do you get rid of that many pennies? I understand the banks want you to roll them first. #7, James, I have some old Crappy Tire money around here somewhere. I also have about $10 in Canadian pennies stashed in the closet.

Why do you do this? You're capitalizing words for no reasons. You even do "AS" which for the life of me I can't understand why you'd want to emphasize "AS". Unless of course that reading and writing English isn't native to you, then I apologize. Also, I also think that we are sick of the US currency because we see it all the time, as perhaps the people of these other countries are sick of seeing theirs.

Which is cool AS you cant HIDE that big wad, in your closet or under a bed for YEARS. It must all be Changed over and counted, and recorded...

It is a place that is beyond rational. It is a place that is like make-believe but the physical manifestations of it is real for all to see, as in this case with the fire. A real physical cause happens but others will explain it away as incredible coincidence. The place where I'm at sometimes leaves traces. Same goes with these archeological finds of bones of past civilizations and eras, like the dinasours. The thigh bone of a Rex was picked up and used as weapon by our ancestors. They had no idea what it was. We do. Because consciousness grew in some people to make them aware of the patterns that gave way to evolutions theory. One person, Darwin, SAW that. Luckily, he had good communication skills to spread the Truth to others who couldn't see. What I bring you is another world where most cannot see because they haven't developed the awareness to see. But as Darwin, I am trying to point this out so that perhaps you can see too. Scientists will never be able to see this because their belief system is based on logic, reason and physical laws. To see what I see you have to leave those beliefs (but include them) and reach a higher place. It is beyond magic, which is fake. It is mystical, which is REAL. #6, Where I am coming from is a place that scientists (and shrinks) have no idea about. It is a place that is beyond rational.

I don't think there's anything particularly ugly about ours, though they're not as flashy as some. I think the newer bills look pretty good, with more expressive portraits and colors and all (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_dollar). I remember how cool my first color $50 seemed, and still think it looks pretty darn good. My favorite part of the site Dvorak posted though is that you can look up Canadian Tire coupons among the real Candian Bank notes. Classic.
