I have a small collection of the old silver notes, plus some Civil War-era bills. I always try to keep some of the new bills in mint condition, but then I realize I want to spend the money, dammit, so that's that.

I'm a bit disappointed that the EU didn't make the euro a plastic banknote like in Romania, Australia, and New Zealand. Paper money is boring dammit.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Yep. They can do everything paper notes can do except be torn. They last a lot longer.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation.

There's a poem in "micro writing" on my driving licence. They probably use that on notes as well?CSPAComment

US currency is actually cloth not paper, and the easiest way to tell counterfit bills is usually by touch.

I have one silver twenty dollar bill. I put it away and I forget about it when I run out of regular money. I'll probably remember it one day and spend it.
I wonder how much it's worth...I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?
