    Every time I have been to the USA, $50 notes have been useless because nobody accepts them in case they are forgeries.

    Oh, you Americans and your all green money. Now, if you want counterfeit free money, check out the new Canadian bills. Our new fives, tens, recently released twenties, and hundred dollar bills are top of the line in fraud protection.

    A. I want a wallet full of pretty much any variety of fifty dollar bills.

    B. Not too sure I like the new design. I know that they have to change designs ever so often to mess up the counterfeiters, but I actually like the old design. You know, the same one as the $1 bill. It just seems like evry country and their brother is making multi-colored money these days.

    @ Jaguar:
    Australia too! Also, you dont make mistakes with money where the notes are different sizes and colours.

    There isnt anyone i know who wouldnt want a wallet full of $50 bills. American? even better, it's worth more.

    @Jaguar, I don't think Canada needs to worry about counterfeiters, or war...everyone knows it's there, but no one wants it. :rolleyes: :rolling:

    Which? On the Us 50 or the Canadian note that Jaguar posted?

    The President on the US 50 is Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States. :rolling:

    Hehe. On yours, Kits.
    I thought I saw something like 'John W. S...' in the lower right corner under EE 00000.

    Thanks for your teachings in history. ;)

    We used to have a saying: "weird as a 2 pesos bill".
    So our dear former president, mr Menem, tired of that, invented that bill (2 pesos bill ).
    We had in about 15 years, 3 kind of money: ley 18188 (law 18188); about 10000 $ per dollar; then the Austral, that took out 2 zeros, then peso argentino, 1 to 1 with the dollar, and convertibles, the one we have now. Well, not for me anymore, I only see Euros here ;)
