Australia's new money, dreadful or delightful?

[HarveyBoulevard]

I heard there was a bit of an uproar about the new bills being printed in Oz. Here in the States they started redesigning our currency several years ago. Started slowly with one bill at a time. Some color was added but nothing like some other countries have.

Oh Christ that's like I've tried to draw her

As a matter of fact what surprised me is not the bad draw but the fact the Queen is still in your money.

She is our queen, just like she is also Canadas queen. No idea what the political term is but i think she is our Monarch? Or we are part of the Monarchy... or something.

And the note looks like a 2 year olds drawing. Terrible!

Commonwealth realm which the queen is the monarch leader. I think there are 15 or so of the countries tied together.

[Fugu]

Looking younger than ever...

I quite like the little birdy, but what the heck is it with the E. coli drawings on there?...

[potpest]

That's horrendous; what's with the yellow woodlouse's?

[Ferrero]

Should have gone with with Warney!

[El Presidente]

I like it. A couple of old birds, a pub map of the river, knuclebusters bottom right.

If folks aren't happy with the new $5 design I'll gladly take them off their hands for $2:50 a note.

LOL I thought after reading the subject line of this post that is was in reference to the number of "cashed up bogans" sitting on street corners smoking Double Corona's!

May be such a post is yet to come.

Gawd help us!

[polarbear]

I was kinda hoping theyd put Fred Hollows on the $5 note this time around :-(

At least we can still fold it in half and her neck will still look like a penis going into a clam.

Shut up idiot! It's just for laughs!

What would you know?!?!?

[dangolf18]

The color schematics are not very attractive.

Heard today that there's fake 50s kicking about. Thought with all the plastic and see through bits it'd be pretty hard to fake our money.

Sounds like some of the bodies I saw on Sydney's northern beaches during the weekend....

[Fuzz AI]

If not the Queen, how about a Dame?
