I say we do the old German Dooshmark thing, where the bigger the denomination the bigger the bill.  $1,000 bill = 11" x 17" landscape

The current Euro bills are like that.

They haven't had physical deutsch marks in 15 years Seedy. :lol:

Hence "old".  :P

I would also like a little more color contrast between the 20, 10, and 5.

Says the American whose money is all the same colour?

It is disconcerting to handle a currency that is backed by a government with an insufficient nuclear arsenal and that could only cover one beach during D Day. You guys are in danger of collapsing at any moment. If your diplomat negotiating over those islands by the north pole has a bad day and says the wrong thing, tomorrow we may wake up to Danish flags flying over Toronto (or wherever your capital is these days).

It's okay then.  When you're in Canada, you can just trust us Canadians to handle all of your money for you, like sbr did. :)

I liked the new £5 notes when I was in London last fall.  When I heard they upset vegans, I LOVED them.  Still have mine :)

I bet Jacob's already got one ready. :shifty:

I do have a big Danish flag ready, yes. Old school too - wool. None of this cheap polyester garbage.

I imagine some of the people whose friends or relatives died at Gallipoli.

But his friends and relatives that died. I believe he lost a great grandchild there.  :cry:

Churchill has plenty to dislike.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
