Updating the $1 bill is a logistical nightmare. the $5 is going to be bad enough, but with the upgrade of the $1 means upgrading every single electronic receptacle and bill scanner across the entire country to accept it before circulating the new bills. There are relatively few scanning systems that look for bills in $100 and $50, with a few more scanning for $20 and a handful more for $10. The real difficulty comes in with $5 and $1, but only a small portion of scanners accept $5 versus those that take the smaller bill.
I'm still not sold on the new bills. they just don't look quite as nice as the old greenbacks.
Paper money is much easier to keep organized.
In "east neighbour" you're again counting piles of paper money, got three hundred bills left from trip to Moscow... worth little over three euros per piece. :p
We make sensible money.
They are polymer which is well nigh impossible to counterfeit. Strong vibrant colours and most importantly bill sizes which increase with face value, so you never end up handing over the wrong bill by mistake.
$1 and $2 coins are also great, I even like our much maligned, crinkle cut 50c piece.
you mean [B][I]debit[/I][/B] cards don't you... credit cards are 'debt' cards... ;)
[i]Mostly[/i] sensible money. The $1 coin being larger than the $2 coin doesn't make much sense. :p
Actually, the 5 euro bill is dominantly grey and 100 euro is green. However, the 500 euro banknote is purple... :p

It's pretty expensive to reprint those bills because there are just so many of them. Although I guess that just the same it might be easy to replace them since one's are recirculated the most frequently, every 18 months.

See, I'd hate that, because I always keep my money folded in half, with the smallest denomination on the outside, and the largest on the inside, both for organization and so it's hard to tell if I'm carrying a lot of money. Having big $20 bills sticking out of the middle would ruin my system. And since the only time I've ever handed over the wrong amount of money is because I misheard what I was being charged.
And plastic money freaks me out. It feels like it's covered in packing tape.
very well sir

Still they give me a free card.
If you're paying on time then you aren't paying insane interest rates then somebody is not getting rich. How irresponsible of you. You must spend more! Buy Buy Buy! Hmm... I guess that makes me a deadbeat too.
Of course, this is all becoming increasingly irrelevant, given [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eftpos#New_Zealand]how little we actually use cash[/url].
