What is a dollar (euro) bill worth to you?

 


Bluedoll
What value do you attach to paper money notes or currency in general?

I don’t only mean the buying power of a bill but the very essential quality of it. When you look at the coloured paper or coin what do you feel? What does it mean to you?

Interested to know where this goes.

Good thread. The bills usually smell like something? The newer the nicer the smell? But if it is really used, maybe with a little tear in it, it has character? I sometimes see notes that have scribbles on them. Sort of makes me wonder where the bill had been. I look at the colour. I like the green of the dollar bills very much, also the autumn brown colour. I still have the original 2-dollar Canadian bills. I really liked them, and when they were phased out for the twoonie I kept a few. I also for some reason like the US 100 dollar bills. I like to collect them Laughing Laughing Laughing

I know most people would only think of the monetary value of notes or coins.
These days they don't stay in your pocket long enough to take a good look at them I guess.
I know here in Ireland the paper money used to have a lot more character. The old Punt(pound) notes where huge compared to the new euro notes.You could paper your walls with the old 100 Punt notes for one sixth of the cost. Smile Think i still have one of the old notes somewhere memento of times gone.
They also looked so much nicer if you ever get a chance to see one, think you can get pics on Google.
Downside was they were much easier to forge.

I guess every note has a story too......remembering that film where the note with a phone number? was put inside a book and left to fate if the two people ever met again. Wish I could remember the name of the film Smile

Interesting post will think about it when i pay for petrol next time.
