In The States, these days, there's a card for almost everything. lol

The cash used here, in America, has just recently become colorful:
Old:

New:





Aussie money's kind of similar to European money -- if not, the same.

Ain't it the truth. I'm an American, and when I was in the UK, I was cursing the exchange rate the whole time. Some of my UK friends visited the States and stocked up on electronic goods because they're so much cheaper. :P

Anyone in the US remember the Sacagawea dollar coins?

Yeah I got it wrong, 1 British pound is like 1.3 Euros.

Ohh I see it now, it's the same coin flipped over xD Silly me.

At first I was reluctant to the change too but if you think about it, it's a lot better to share the same currency with other countries, especially when travelling.

There's no such thing as "European money"

And Australian money isn't like any other country's,

Aussie Dollars



See?

What do you mean? If Europe has currency, "money", it is European money.

I was saying that Aussie money was similar, mainly in the sense that it was colored.
Money here is generally monochromatic, so, as a person living in America, I put an emphasis on that fact.

I haven't been to AUS in a while. I forgot how bright it was. lol

Europe doesn't have a currency. Some european countries use the 'Euro,' but not all of them do, for example, England.

If you mean they don't all use one currency, then that's not the problem.

I'm not saying everyone in Europe uses the Euro. I was simply looking at the fact that most of the currency used in Europe is colorful, as a generalization, in comparison to the money of The United States.

And us Canadians get gouged, even though our dollar is worth just a tiny bit more than the American one.

Fair enough, then. Our notes do have a coloured tint. Not as much as the Aussies, but we do, like you said
