...Better yet -- talking money -- bills with implanted audio chips. They could even be bilingual. Tiny transducer in the president's mouth.
Great idea. You could even offset the cost of the bill by selling advertising.
This $1 bill could be earning you a whopping 1.5% annual rate of interest if you deposited into a Chase Manhattan Bank savings account.

That is true. We have also different sets of coin. Each country has its own.

Well, you wouldn't even really have to have different sized money if I'm reading the article right. Just have the value in braille somewhere in the corner of the bill, or something else raised that can tell you different values.

If you were to nip down to Devon's Totnes market on a Saturday looking to buy some spelt flour pancakes, crêpes or falafels, then you might just encounter Lou Brown, who is a remarkably fine cook.

How about cutting notches in the edges of the paper?
Would embossing bumps on the bills like the Canadians do interfere with the ability to stack the money?
It's barely noticable. It can't affect stacking.
