Let's get rid of the useless, unelected foreigner who occupies
one side and replace it with Elisabeth Murdoch.
Surely a fitting tribute to one of the truly great Australians.

Was at the watermark (we call it the pissstain) a while back and we somehow got on the debate of the colour (colour you think first) of notes. The $5 note is purple not pink and the $20 is red not orange.

Who thinks the $5 note is pink? :shock:

I thought the $20 note was "ochre" ;)

Time for a $5 coin?
Although I don't carry coins much as they wreck your pockets.
I keep a few in the cars for parking meters.

Ochre - that goes in the fence sitting pile. 50% said pink, the bundy may have escalated the debate.

Would be good for charities and gold coin donation events.

Leave the freakin thing alone. One good thing about America is their currency. The dollar note is a major mover used in tipping among other things.

Its much easier to lose a coin then a note so I would rather the fiver stays.

Fair enough. I haven't found that at all. Quite the reverse.

Their argument was it just fills their wallet or purse and get in the way when looking for other notes

All the septic notes look the same, particularly in a dimly-lit bar. Not useful when you pull out a couple of ones for a tip, only to find later that you've mistakenly given the bartender a fitty...

We're worrying about the $5 note whilst Zimbabwe knock 12 zeros off their currency every few months ... :lol:

Oh, I prefer the note
