Suggestions for our currency?
Mar 4th, 2007 at 3:36am
 
I for one am sick to death of not knowing who the people are on Australian money!
 Angry Who else is with me?

Look at this guy for example:

...

Who the hell is that guy??? Can anyone recognise him without looking him up? Questioning


And what about this one?

...

What the hell? What the heck did she ever do to get her ugly face on the $20 bill?

Look, I'm sure most of these people have done great things, but can we have someone we ACTUALLY recognise on our notes? That's the whole point of having faces on money... to recognise them and for them to make us proud of who we are.

I think the people we already have on our currency are there so that the populace can learn about their achievements and give them inspiration. We all need to search for inspiration at sometime and learning about people like these is part of that search for inspiration.

Funny topic.  Grin

When are we going to bring the 1c & 2c pieces back?
We are still charged prices that require these denominations.
Do you get the 5c change if its a $1.97 or do the retailers expect it from you and charge you $2 ?  Tongue

My grandfather left me in his will, via a Secret Map, 15 Treasure chests of all the 1c and 2c pieces he collected over his long years.
Yeah - sure, I'm a bit peeved!  Angry

Take more of it from the rich and give more of it to the poor.... from each according to the depth of his pockets and the shortness of his arms, to each depending on the shortness of his pockets and the length of his arms...   Cool
