Saw someone using it yesterday. The cashier was sceptical. I'd never heard of it.

Lol?

This was all over the news a few months ago, and again recently? You hadn't heard of it? Do you and this cashier live together under a rock?

Just released this week....Looks like she's faded a bit.

If it was a Seven News at 6 exclusive, then no I didn't see it.

It would have been every news, every channel, and in papers.

See this is where this pseudo internet age "I don't pay attention to FTA TV/Murdoch press" actually falls down. Sometimes you do miss relevant information.

What's it worth?

First time hearing about it.

Must be just me, Bomberboyokay and the cashier

Meh, I'm so rich the person I employ to carry my money only has 100s.

Thinking about it I do have a vague recollection of hearing about a new design coming.

Um, I never watch the news and had heard all about it.

2 bucks, I swapped one of my Olympic coloured coins for one on the weekend.

It's pink and has the Queen on it. Looks not all that different to the old one.

Call me when there's a $200 or $500 note. Then people can get upset that old dead white dude shouldn't be on it and lesbian Aboriginal muslim amputee vegan should.

I had a couple of CHF200 notes (Swiss Franc) in my wallet last year. At the time that was about $290 per note. I've had an EUR100 note but never a 200 or 500.

 

[Gough]

You need some Zim money. I have a couple of Z$5 notes which quite literally aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

I reckon it's brilliant, was not an issue to cross my mind but kudos to all involved!!

Unfortunately TAB EBTs aren't aligned with them yet, not sure about Pokie Machines!!

 

[Richard Cranium]

Looks pretty shit to be honest.

Too much bigfooty for you three.

 

[Reynolds Number]

I heard about it recently thanks to our government.

I've got a SGD1000 note kicking around somewhere at home in perth, had a swag of them but the mrs soon got rid of them for me.

a classic, "$ale of the Century" always made me check the serial no.

 

[Gough]

They'd have been better waiting until HM shuffles off this mortal coil, she's ninety after all, and doing it anew for whoever replaces her.

That's a valuable note to be carrying around!

Still a $5 note? Skip the $5 note, add a $5 coin in it's place.

I remember reading somewhere that they're reluctant to introduce a $5 because people tend to horde coins, so there's always a lot more out of circulation at any one time.
