Currency!

[Rye]

I just received some converted British pounds (my keyboard doesn't have the sign!). I've never seen any foreign money before, except for the old Italian Lira, so I was so excited. I'm a fan of the 20 Pound note, because it's purple and shiny. The 50s are my favorite color of red too. I like how the smaller denomination bills are smaller than the 20s and 50s. It's so different!

The lira was the prettiest though.

What do you think is the prettiest money?

There are old 20 pound notes in circulation still which suck and are uglier so don't freak out and shout at the supermarket checkout guy for giving you fake moneyzz like some guy did to me last week.

The notes printed by the HBoS were cooler than those by the Bank of England or Clydesdale, I found. Maybe it's because the Barclay's ATM I used always spit them out brand new.

I think all money is beautiful in its own way

Hahaha, I'll try not to! I do like the pretty ones though. They're so shinyyyy.

If Granny ever gives you any Northern Irish money you'll need to get that changed at the bank because most places seem to think it's not legit

I am totally not accepting money from GRANNY. No way. I'd feel so guilty.

All I want is like, a dollar, for my collection.

... wait a minute. I thought the whole of Ireland had the same money as the rest of GB? What? xD

While I was in Canterbury I handed a lady a 20-pound purple Walter Scott HBoS note (now that Lloyds bought them, is HBoS money still circulating?). She had to ask someone else, who presumably was a Scot, if it was actually legit money or if I was trying to pull a fast one on her.

EDIT: The Republic of Ireland uses the Euro. Northern Ireland uses the pound, but their own banks print them out. There's no such thing as merely a "20-pound note." There are several banks which print money, so their notes do not all look the same. In England the BoE has a monopoly, but in Scotland there are either two or three, and in Northern Ireland there are four.

EDIT 2: And of course, you need to edit your "rest of Great Britain" line once you get over to the UK - of course, Ireland is not a part of Great Britain, which is merely an island that includes Scotland, Wales, and England.

Monopoly money is the prettiest. I could look at Mr. Monopoly's mustache all day.

Yes but in reality the terms "Great Britain" and "United Kingdom" are synonymous and the only reason 90% of people distinguish between them is when debating geographical specifics.

Of course they are. But that doesn't mean she can't be factually correct about it.

Psh, WE don't care, I don't think we need foreign types to worry

Thai Baht is the most beautiful money on Earth because of what it can buy.

I have quite a few foreign coins that I found on my travels.

Will post pics of them later, too lazy to turn on my laptop to do it.
I mean I always try turning it on but it's never in the mood and tells me to go back to sleep.
