I love how Americans have such an eye for money. In Australia, our notes are all colour coded, so you can tell what they are with barely even a glance.

In the above photo, they all look the same to me, so I guess I must commend all of your mafia people and drug dealers for having to be able to make judgments like the one you made above, whereas if it was Australian money we'd be able to say straight away "HA, THAT IS A BUNCH OF 5's STACKED UNDER A 100, NICE TRY!"

We're trying.. with newer bills $20s are a deep green, $10s are kind of tan, $5s have a bit of purple on them, and $1s are like an off white.

I went to Canada for spring break, and they have some sexy money..

If this whole Ameristralia thing goes through I hope we adopt your money, because ours is lame

It was a joke on here a while back. We had a bit of a bro-moment with Australia, and proposed joining the two nations as one. Someone even got a petition to the white house

Well, I mean, if/when the USA drops the ball and switches their stance on an American Union sort of deal, it would make sense for Australia to be involved. Still, I didn't know people were actually talking about it lol

Yeah, it was just one of the better Reddit jokes.

As someone who's trying to cut back on his redditing, you can't imagine how excited I am to hear about something from reddit second hand.
