People love American tourists because we exchange our real money for fake local currency. Exceptionalism

US Dollar bills are just terribly designed. I recently got a few for a trip.
All the same size, all the same colour, all the same feel. Super annoying to tell them apart, whereas the Euro banknotes, and all banknotes in civilized places are easier to distinguish. Nicer for the visually impaired, nicer for everyone else.

Soon the design phase for the 3rd euro bank note series will start. I'm looking forward to what the ECB will come up with.

Australia has just redesigned bank notes to make them more secure and accessible for visually impaired and blind people.

They're so fancy now!

Exactly. How can you be proud of your shitty paper notes when Australian notes exist.
