Fucking ugly.

Money USED to be artwork:

Agreed, thems is fugly monies.

well.. at least they are not green anymore.. still ugly as fuck tho

obama making shit happen

Great, now we have Monopoly money like the fucking Canadians.

counterfeiting pro-tip: use an old bill

Still not as bad as the euro. They need to step that shit up.

I'm gonna counterfeit 2 dollar bills

>>969641
it's been play money for quite some time now

Also, here's a REAL dollar for you: 90% silver, with real value, not a worthless piece of paper.

>>969660

no currency today is actually worth its weight in materials.

just like Escape From L.A., its all bout them bluebacks!

Our money gets worse looking every time they redesign it.

>>969670

You're an idiot if you think currency has to be backed in its worth in minerals.

>>969670
Not paper, cotton.

>>969670
thatd be a heavy fuckin wallet, not to mention wed all have to carry money in decorative leather bags like das jueden in ye olden days

Tell you what - idiot - you keep your pieces of paper and I'll keep these, and we'll see which is more valuable when people are rioting in the streets. Because they will be.

The only "currency" worth a damn without civilization is knowledge, so stockpile that instead of minerals

How ya gonna make change with a gold coin?

>>969728

"NO, DON'T SHOOT ME FOR MY FOOD, OR MY GASOLINE, I HAVE A GOLDEN COIN!!!"

>>969736
lol

And when your pieces of paper are next to worthless, how do you intend to purchase food and gasoline?

Bedtime.

>>969677
agreed.dammit.

To be honest... it seems weird to me US keeps issuing bills made out of cotton or some special paper.

It sucks: it's not resistent to humidity (try recovering some bills after a flood), they burn fast in fires, they get impregnated with sweat, with drugs, with other fluids (sneezes for example), they get written on with markers and abused forever...

Modern bills in EU are made of plastic and have all the security things this new 100 buck bill has

I guess US just doesn't want to invest into new money mills or something

>In God We Trust

Werent they gonna take that line out?

>>970138

>implying the US isn't christfag capital of the world

>>970133
there was a episode of modern marvels that talked about the paper used and the reason given for them not changing what the bill are made out of was the feel of the bill is so ingraned in the psyche that it would cause more problems then solve. or somthing like that

>>970133
i have gotten hundreds of bills wet over my year of swiming in the ocean and going to the water park... not once have i had my money fall apart because it was wet. what the shit are you smoking?

>>970139
vatican city?

There's a huge difference between wetting your bills in salty water and having your bills staying in muddy, moldy,full of fecals (read poo and piss) water for several days.

You can read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contaminated_currency or www.mahalo.com/contaminated-currency where you'll see 92% of 1$ bills some researchers collected had traces of cocaine, heroin, morphine and amphetamines and a ton of other drugs.

Plastic solves the problem and people will get over it and there's no reason why plastic AND paper bills wouldn't run at the same time for ten years or more for people to get used to.

I wonder if they'll continue to place the owl and the all-seeing-eye on the dollar bill. If they don't, does that mean the Illuminati are losing their power?

For fuck's sake, USA, just go polymer already.

The "Illuminati" control the federal reserve. they design and print the money

The original and the best.

>>971387

what is that? monopoly money?

enjoy the impending desertification of all your worthless cities and being turned into China's brothel, you sheepfucker.

>>969674
Actually, the raw metal in a US penny is worth more than one penny. Pennies are only kept in circulation due to business lobbying.

Iranian 1000 rial note featuring the Shah, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi.

Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, Shah of Iran from 1941 until the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

Not Persia, Iran.

Back at the University, in one class at the first day in the semester, we all had to stand and introduce ourselves to the class and say where we are from. One student stood and said his name (Nefdi or something) and he was from Persia. I said, "Well, hello. I'm [Bat Guano], a Phoenician. My friend, Dave, here, comes from the Land of the Hittites. There has been no 'Persia' since 1938 or so. It's called 'Iran,' now."

Iranian 200 silver rials, featuring Muhammad Reza and his wife, 1971.

Iranian 5000 Rials, featuring the Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Mousavi Khomeini.

Iranian 100 Rial note.

Iraqi 10 Dinar note, featuring Abu Ali al-Hasan Ibn al-Haitham (1982).

This is weirdly fascinating. More, please!

saddam money i got in mosul...

>>972317
Only true for the pre-1981 all-copper pennies. The change to a copper-clad zinc core happened in 1981 or 1982, and whichever year it was, the changeover happened in mid-year, so you find both types.

>>973102

>>973056
No need to be a prick, dude. Most of us don't want to be associated with the current bunch of bastards in charge there.

Wow, good job America... Canada has had the same security, if not better, for almost a decade now... AND it looks a LOT better too.

>>973156
thats what happens when you live in an icy hell, you try to make everything around you prettier to brighten your day. canadafags can eat my cunt

>>969504
I agree that shit is ugly.. Money needs to stay green, That way youll know what it is easily. Otherwise its indistinguishable from an old discarded doritos bag blowing down the street.

>>973056
You really are an epic faggot bag of dicks. I still call myself a Persian, because that's what I am.

100 marks, Germany 1910

100 marks, front. Damn pretty, but soon almost worthless.

Belguim, 1942. I think.

Great for you.
Do Turks call themselves Anatolians?
Do the Iraqis call themselves Mesopotamians?

I guess they can if they want, but it seems anachronistic and strange.

Pic: Iraqi 10000 Dinar note, featuring Abu Ali al-Hasan Ibn al-Haitham, 2005.

He was a scientist who contributed significantly in a variety of fields, including the nature of light and the laws of geometric optics, image formation and visual perception, as well as to physics, mathematics, anatomy, astronomy, engineering, medicine, ophthalmology, philosophy, psychology, and to science in general with his early application of the scientific method.

>>974615
he was also a persian, and studied in iran.
note this.

>>973056
interestingly, Persia wasn't really what htye called themselves originally anyhow, they always refered to themselves as Ayrian (essentially, Iranian).
Persian was sort of a foreginers term for them, but it stuck, i honestly don't think it matters what you choose.
It does get a bit confusing however, because Persian typically means indigenous to Iran, whereas Iranian is essentially just a nationality.

>>973917
You Iranians are testy as hell.
Bat Guano pointed out to this "Persian" that there has been no Persia since before World War 2. He was not rude about it, but the Phoenician and Hittite references were humorous. He knows his Asia Minor, obviously.

Enjoy yourself in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Tough break for the Zoroastrians there.

Belgian 10,000 francs of 1929 featuring Ceres, the Belgian Lion & Neptune.

In 1942, Belgium had been conquered, occupied, and governed by Nazi Germany since 1940, but the Germans did not replace the Belgian Franc with the Reichmark. The German occupation army would use their own special military currency, though.

That's not a new note, you can see the dirt & everything.

Pubic hair/eye lash/pen squiggle:

@ oval watermark on the top note
@ above the "B" in "bank" on the second note.

Lets see some CAD or Euro

This has now become a stamp thread.

Anyone have the upside down biplane?

no fair posting links that don't work bat guano, if that is your real name

I don't know about Anon here, but I love paying with dollar coins for some reason. I feel so badass when I pull 14 of these bad boys from my little cloth pouch and set them on the counter.

>also, New 100 looks like Eurofag Monies.

Agreeing on all points

>>969674
cents & nickels are

>>978219
so america is finely joining the EU?

Fuck Europe. Arrogant douchebags. I'll be an arrogant dick all day.

Since when did Antarctica start issuing its own currency?

According to the Chicago Fed, these cost $0.12 per bill to print.. Fuck me

Last I heard, a US penny costs 1.7 to 2 cents to manufacture, making it a grotesque waste of money.
I have heard of Congressional bills being argued to stop production of pennies (and nickels in some bills), but for some reason these bills went nowhere.

Pic: US Union shield penny (2010–present).
Instead of discontinuing the penny, the Treasury designed a new model.

US 2010 cent obverse.

>>982427
Discontinuation of the Penny is always defeated because of the face on it, not because of its value. Lincoln is an over-rated president, but is loved by too many for them to discontinue the coin bearing his likeness.

/r/ing scans of Finnish pre-1980 marks. Fuck me those were beautiful.

>>982427
>>982428
Because pennies are only used once and then tossed, amirite?

>>982693
in the US change should just be X.25, X.50, or X.75 because no one really cares about 1s, 5s, or 10s

>>982714
And yet virtually every world currency has cent-equivalent currency in production. It doesn't matter if it's important to you, it's important to have the baseline represented- and that is the cent, not the dollar.

>>982459
Finnish markka.

Finnish 1000 markka banknote.

Suomen Pankki, 1 markka, dated issue 1963, the last 1 Markka ever issued in Finland.

1963 was the first time since 1918 when Finland issued the 1 Markka banknote and the last time as well. Starting in 2002 Finland no longer issues its own currency, it is now part of Euro monetary system.
