Money


I love Australian money. Every bill (or note, as they call it) is a different size and color. And they are basically impossible to rip or tear. They've got a plastic finish to them, so they hold up a lot better. There are $2 and $1 coins. It sucks getting all that change in your wallet, but if you forget you have it...it's fun to look later and find you have $20 or so extra in change.


Also... Australia includes the tax on the price of things before it's rung up. So if something says its $6.95 on the shelf, when you go to pay, you are paying $6.95. It's so much easier. Here's a picture. Hope you enjoyed my random thing for today.
