Is the plastic money Australian?

I saw some Australian money a while ago and it was actually pretty drat cool looking. Plus, it was kind of neat that the different denominations were different sizes.

Yeas. And yeah they're all slightly different sizes, one of the only considerations for blind people we've taken.

They're all different colours too

Hey 'Strayans, I'm planning a roleplaying game set in Australia and I'm looking for all I can find in terms of spooky, mystical, or otherwise culturally significant spaces.

read up on some indigenous mythology for inspiration.

Also there are some crackpot theories that Alexander the Great was buried in WA so you should def weave that in.

spooky: the ghosts of Tasmanian natives because the brits slaughtered them all
the Mutiny on the Bounty gets a lot of airtime: it was sort of interesting i guess
mystical: uhhh, billabongs, and the bunyips that inhabit them
culturally significant: the T.A.B.?
Eureka Stockade
the Rum Rebellion
Gallipoli

I regret to inform the thread that due to an unfortunate case of employment both Civ3 and Peter Molyneux Mafia are going to be delayed somewhat.

Bonus round!

Quidnose: you are the use of a hyphen instead of an en dash. You are generally inoffensive but every so often will crop up with a huge steaming turd and i wonder what the gently caress you were even thinking.

You are "ellipsis with random number of fullstops". You are basically so lazy and careless that whenever you want to indicate something continues to go on, you just mash the fullstop key anywhere between 1 and 6 times, but never the correct 3 times without spaces in between. You are also a oval office because you blend into the text a lot, especially when in italics.

also busb I just realized that you have a ridiculous dangling modifier in the post we all quoted. In context, it's very funny.

You are the inability to recognise the medium you are writing in. You trot along going "ooh look at that split infinitive what a moooron" before you realise you were actually posting about your sadbrains on tumblr instead of a paper on how to successfully completed and slavery by calling people meanies.

Both were bad ideas fyi
