|
if the old currency is still legal tender, wouldn't the counterfeiters just continue to use the OLD plates?
Just wondering.

1. Soon most of it will be out of circulation. |

It will raise eyebrows if someone uses it. It's kind of like finding a wheat penny...very rare. Only, wheat pennies aren't as obvious as the cash difference.

5. I went to an ATM a few days ago, pulled out $200 |
|
All of it was old-style $20 bills (pre-multi-colored bill, but after the first-remodel). Every one of the bills was brand new and sequentially numbered. I still have $80 worth in front of me.

6. I Think Australia's Folding Currency Is Very Cool... It's Plastic/Mylar... |
|
and it has clear "windows" in it as well.
Is it just my imagination... or does Australia have a banknote that honors a prostitute? Maybe it's some other country.
