Received in the letter box today.
It's all about [undefined=undefined][undefined=undefined]HOW EVIL MONEY IS[/undefined][/undefined]
I do not know who put it out, but it's a four colour litho job not from a dot matrix printer, good print job actually, so my guess would be the Jehovah witness who often come around here.

If you look at the number on the note it is AA 96 000 000
Imaginative at least, they could have just scanned any old $100.00 note.
Watch a bunch of ....... Hypocrites !
It reads more like extreme environmentalist fruitloopery rather than extreme religious fruitloopery. Apparently, they think (or want to make you, the ignorant reader, think) that undersea oil drilling is causing an increase in natural disasters, and want everyone to petition the government to stop allowing it immediately.
Still, I'd classify it under "political funny money".
Hilarious! The water is going to crush the ocean floor... now ive heard anything.
(parliament members) are despicable, ironic, greedy and lack any duty of care lol
Implode is spelt wrong.
If the ocean floor collapes, at least we won't have to worry about the sea levels rising due to global warming.
Another note worthy endeavour,

For the next month or so I might try & find anything with notes on it & stick it up here for all to see.
If you have any please add to the collection.
would be fun to see how often our currency is used & in what manner.
Found these whilst Christmas shopping.

What I find very interesting about the twenty is the lack of serial number
please see sample of real one with serial.
[attachment=714]
now looking at the napkin where the serial number should be, there is no trace of it at all, no matter how closely toy look at it.
[attachment=715]
So I guess it has been scanned colour separated converted into four colours, the black serial number deleted, then litho printed dot for dot,
with not a bad result for what it is.
Plus they have used the Obverse of one & the Reverse of the other,
maybe to get the number in the top right hand corner.

AHA that works thanks
Those spoons are pretty neat! :wavemulticolor:
Those spoons are awesome! For christmas my mother got me a little packet of tissues with $20 just like the napkins. I will have to check if they have serials.
Now it's key rings,
With these the $5.00 note has got HK prefixes which were for the Hong Kong hand over in 1997.
At least they don't just use run of the mill notes for these novelty items.
(http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb22/interest88/keyrings_zps7f797516.jpg)
So I took keyrings out of packaging to see other side, there was an 1993 blue tenner with purple serials.

Now what I have gleamed from this little exercise is that the people who make up these things is,
When they want a note photo they don't just go to the circulation notes.
these key rings have a
$5.00 note with HK 97978328
$10.00 note very blue with purple serials BI 93002880
All of course made in China.

Yeah, well, there are no trams on Phillip Is. so you can't roll your own. :)
So what are they using for pennies anyway? Not real ones, surely?
yep that's why I just got the one, but $2 isn't bad, better than all the other tourist trap stuff, like the stuffed toys were twice as much there then from our local information centre, and all the other stuff, like cheap boomerangs, haha animal biscuits, fridge magnets, hmm I don't go for that stuff, but this koala one spoke to me cos its kinda coin stuff, and I got the same type of oblong copper planchet one from the UK, so now it has a buddy.
found a quick pic of the same type this is what they look like,

I saw one of those penny elongating machines in Sydney on a recent trip. It was near the Opera house. It was loaded with U.S. one cent coins.
IIRC, the one at the railway station in Lithgow was loaded with 2ยข pieces.
The one on the top deck of Eureka Tower back when I visited Melbourne in 2009 was loaded with copper-plated-zinc blanks, the same size and composition as US cents. Which makes sense, as the machines as imported are designed to work with US cents.
Those coin flattening expanding machines are everywhere in the USA.
Has anyone seen any funny money regarding the next election?

No, but I have a Taxtralia dollar note, overprinted 44-1/2 cents, from a previous election.
Trade Unions used to issue them

I remember a few years back my kids got the same sort of thing from Aussie Zoo in QLD. Wouldn't have a clue where to find it now
Made in China ?
