Us has done a good job with the new 5s 10s 20s. But a lot of other countries have cooler looking money. US could update $1 and make it look really cool. Hope that happens soon.

- That maple syrup smell thing is false.

- I had a new bill tear a week or so ago, not sure how it happened but once the tear started, it spread across the bill extremely easy.

- Someone gave me a counterfeit $5 a couple weeks ago.

-The new bills also tend to stick together making counting a pain.

That's pretty sweet but the US has state & territorial quarters and are now making national park quarters. I personally think that's cooler.

1. nothing is cooler than dinosaurs
2. both canada and us have all kinds of quarters with places/people/monuments on them, I thought that was common knowledge

swiss francs are also pretty neat. and i pay with euros, which already are the bomb.

and i seriously dont understand why the US isnt changing sizes or adding other anti-counterfeit elements. has to be so easy to fake dollars, where you pretty much only have to acquire the paper, in comparison to most other currencies.

Too many god damned coins in the canadian system. Americans are not in the habit of carrying around five pounds of coins in our fruity european change purses. Paper or plastic bitches

I'm guessing you haven't seen newer US currency.

Embedded plastic strips, hidden watermarks, and color changing foil stamping aren't really that easy to fake. Not to mention the cotton fabric type paper is damn near impossible to acquire.

In highschool I photocopied an American 20 dollar bill, coloured it in with a green highlighter and then crumpled it up. Then I traded with my friend's Canadian 20 dollar bill. I traded back after because I didn't want to be a dick.

wait so youre saying canadas money is better because its all the colors of the gay fucking rainbow, theyve got some pictures of some animals so goddamn stupid they went extinct, and because on some of the bills you can smell a fucking maple leaf?

if i wanted to smell a maple leaf i would pull one off the tree in my backyard. this is fucking america. our money is fucking green because fucking fuck you. we have bald eagles on our money and pictures of dead white guys. bald eagles have sex while freefalling and could probably kill you on accident they are so fucking badass. dead white guys are so fucking powerful that the entire history of humankind has just about been shaped by them and them alone.

something like 90% of all American currency has traces of cocaine on it.

WE DONT SCRATCH AND SNIFF STUPID GAY ASS MAPLE LEAVES.
WE SCRATCH AND SNIFF COCAINE. WHITE POWDER. WE DO BLOW MOTHERFUCKER. YOU COULD TRY TO WRITE A REBUTTAL ARGUMENT BUT I WONT BE ABLE TO READ IT BECAUSE MY HEART IS GOING TO BE BEATING FAST AND HARD ENOUGH TO RUN A GODDAMN GENERATOR. SHIT.
