Actually what I'm drinking is a nice Tempranillo-Syrah blend, and I really couldn't give a shit about what dollars look like.

Our money is superior.

Now that I use Euros, while they are nicer looking than the US bills, they aren't very nice compared to a lot of other countries.

"Nicer" as in more aesthetic? Perhaps. Which ones?

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

South Korean Won was more aesthetically pleasing.

Canadian bills and coins at times more so.

Won looks beautiful, Canadian coins pretty nice as well, like a slightly nicer version of 1€ and 2€ coins. But those Canadian bills are a bit too... they're just a bit off. I'm not against them, but I wouldn't hire that graphic design group.

Makes my head hurt looking at their notes, too abstract a theme.

Ha, in their defense, half the fluff they put on those bills are for anti-counterfeit measures

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago

We do that with Euros as well.

Its not that which I have an issues with. It's the abstract nature of the composition.
