Yes, this tiny thing that barely happens is absolutely the best reason for not making it exceptionally hard to counterfeit your money, save costs, make it easier to tell your notes apart.

radiatinglines posted:imagine there's a stack of what appears to be all large sized bills on the table. You pick it up and tap it against your hand to even the bills out, and a smaller bill from somewhere in between them falls out. If you don't notice it you're out money They're like millimeters longer and wider, they're not little tiny squares mixed with giant rectangles:  Also, Canada and the US are basically the only major countries that have uniformly-sized currency, and Canada at least has the bumps.

hey look they're only longer lengthwise, probably to prevent the exact problem I was talking about maybe 504 should have just said that instead of getting super mad and claiming the problem these bills were designed to avoid isn't a big deal

je1 healthcare posted:Reminder that meme magic is real. If you shitpost hard enough you can bend reality itself to your whim AKA Cultural Materialism from the Marxist school of thought: "philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it." I get so loving pissed when society thinks it's invented something when the fact is that study of the "novel" thing has been culturally suppressed until it can no longer be ignored by society at large. But what do I know, Marx was a socialest lier

I will admit to being a bit confused when it had to be explained to me that the teeny-tine banknote with "1" on it was actually 1/10th of a Yuan and not 1 Yuan seriously though, they're adorably miniscule:

drunk asian neighbor posted:They're like millimeters longer and wider, they're not little tiny squares mixed with giant rectangles: This reminds me, speaking of phasing out smaller bills like the $1, that there is serious consideration being given to eliminate large denomination bills because the existence of those big bills makes it way too easy to smuggle and use for terrorism purposes (the 500 Euro note is actually nicknamed "the Bin Laden" because terrorist funding is where it often comes up), and basically every large legal transaction is done electronically now. $1 million USD in 500 Euro notes would fit in a small briefcase or duffel bag no problem, whereas if the $20 was the largest denomination you're looking at close to 200 pounds.

Jose posted:hyperinflation in zimbabwe got so bad they made this Other than the slapfight over commie money or whatever is happening here, didn't a bunch of people stock up on these expecting a huge return? the last time I saw this mentioned I seem to remember there were people flying to Zimbabwe for bulk bills and arguing online about how they had dropped thousands / tens of thousands into this money because it was "guaranteed to be worth more" after a bankruptcy or something.

I remember reading an article specifically about an American couple that's on an endless quest to get their shed full of Zimbabwe notes converted back to USD based on the pre-inflation exchange rate. I wish I could find it because it is both informative and absolutely hilarious, the level of entitlement on the part of the couple is incredible e: Holy poo poo they're still really bad-off, to the point where their current currency is literally their own printed bond note version of US Dollars, backed by a $200M foreing aid package: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3575036/Zimbabweans-queue-banks-US-bond-notes-planned.html Snow Cone Capone has a new favorite as of 21:05 on Sep 2, 2016 |

univbee posted:(the 500 Euro note is actually nicknamed "the Bin Laden" because terrorist funding is where it often comes up) I think it was called that cause everyone knew about them but nobody knew where they were? I mean this was in the early 2000s. But yeah they're pretty much only used for illegal poo poo. The ECB stopped printing them recently because of that.
