What the heck are the dimensions of that... thing?  It looks like it should be hanging up in a gallery somewhere, not slotted into a wallet.

Call me old fashioned, american-centric...but I really like the design of US notes far better than the other currency I've seen.  Euros, Pounds, CAD...nice...but the US dollar just has them beat.

Sure its an outdated design...sure its a bit blander, less "sexy" but the "paper" (cotton really) is great and smells awesome...well thats probably due to a combination trace amounts of coke and lord knows what else.

Dude, have you not seen the Australian notes? They're art. Plus blind people can actually use them and they're totes polymer.

Oh, don't worry about that. £50 notes are used exclusively for buying and selling drugs and rarely turn up in anyone's wallet.

I'm not a fan of English notes design wise.

Royal Bank of Scotland notes have remained unchanged for 30 years or so and all follow the same design but are quite timeless. Bank of Scotland notes are too busy but for me the Clyesdale Bank get's it spot on

All British money should use portraits taken directly from Monty Python.
