AnythingChicago Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Does Antarctica even have stores? They're not allowed to have industrialized places, (cities, towns, etc.). Just military bases. I don't see why they need currency.I like Canada's.I went to the Montreal Centre de Sciences and they had this exibition on glass. It turns out that strip seen above is actually made of glass (for security reasons).EDIT: It turns out Argentina's money not legal tender.Although the bills are not legal tender in Antarctica nor any other continent or nation, the issuing company will "honor them for their face value throughout their validity period."So, basically, they're collecters items.

sc49erfan15 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 My vote is for Antarctica:Is that even real? Why would Antarctica have a currency or a reason for it?They're for collectors. Many small and obscure nations (not really the same analogy, because Antarctica isn't a nation) create elaborate commemorative coins to sell to collectors, for nothing else than to generate income.Here's a coin with an actual pearl.And one with Albert Einstein......that shifts into this:Here's a sundial.aaand a coin shaped like Australia that is actually from Tuvalu.Basically, there's some ing ridiculous .

Hathaway Browne Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Canada has some nice notes. Also the plain funkiness of the current Swiss Franc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CHF_Banknotes.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Is it just me or does America have the most UNcool currency out there? I mean obviously some people really love the classic green notes, but we're not really green anymore, within 20 years we'll be telling each other stories about how money used to be green while kids stuff their wallets with bills that look like a magic eye puzzle.

Hathaway Browne Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 ^I wouldn't call the traditional US notes uncool, they have a good traditional look to them that sometimes is lacking in modern notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winters in buffalo Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 EDIT: It turns out Argentina's money not legal tender.I believe you meant Antarctica, but I laughed because I remember a time when you could have argued your statement to be true. Throughout the 90s, the Dutch parent company of my then-employer went on a global buying spree. They bought several Latin American grocery chains along the way. Then, 2002 I think, the Argentine Peso tanked versus the Euro. While the stores there were enjoying record sales, the company's debt tied to those stores was all in Euros, and the revenue they generated wasn't worth squat toward paying it down.

Swiss Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Does Antarctica even have stores? They're not allowed to have industrialized places, (cities, towns, etc.). Just military bases. I don't see why they need currency.It's forbidden having military bases in Antarctica due to the Antarctic Treaty. Sure, you can find military crew there but they accompany scientists.

Swiss Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 If we are talking about coins, I must go with my old, reliable Swiss coins... Sure, they haven't got any glamour if we are talking about design. But Switzerland has some of the best designed banknotes. Did you know that Swiss use to call a design contest every 15-20 years? So let's go to Wikipedia to watch the current and past Swiss banknotes.As long as I'm living in Argentina, it's funny watching those changes of money (and its design). Since 1980, I remember 4 (FOUR) currencies: Peso Ley 18.188, Peso Argentino, Austral and the current Peso. There is more to watch at Wiki again.

TopCat Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Honestly, I never thought about it until now. Our money is kind of ugly. Also, about the counterfeit thing. One of my "friends" bought $100 in fake money off of eBay and actually was able to spend all of it without getting caught. If a dumbass high school student can get away with it, most people probably can too. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
