The giant purple "5". Yes, well, it was added to help those who are visually impaired but it may just leave more of us wishing that we were. Not that I necessarily dislike it, mostly I'm not too concerned with what the money looks like since I'm not collecting it for its aesthetic qualities, but a more reasonable choice, or at least a more colorful choice, would have been just to make the whole thing purple and start color coding all of the bills, much like many, if not most, other countries do. Maybe the Government doesn't want to get too far away from our 'greenback'.

One Interesting thing about the new five is the use of the EURion constellation which many photocopiers will refuse to copy. This pattern, which is used for the series of little yellow "05"s, is used on many other currencies as well.

Other changes to the bill include the increased use of water marks and an added security strip like those already used for higher denominations.

The redesigned $5 bill was unveiled on September 20, 2007, and was issued on March 13, 2008. Previously covered here on COLOURlovers, the redesign involves some very noticeable changes, mostly for security reasons, but also in an attempt to make the bill more friendly to the visually impaired.

The new five incorporates the use of micro printing of type to make it more difficult to copy. On the front, "FIVE DOLLARS" is written inside the left and right borders. "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is printed at the top of the shield. "USA" is between the columns of the shield and "USA FIVE" is printed on the edge of the most noticeable change, the giant purple "5"

Australian_dollar

 The first paper issues of Australian dollars were issued in 1966. The $1, $2, $10 & $20 notes had exact equivalents in the former pound banknotes. The $5 note was issued in 1967, after the public had become familiar with decimal currency. There had not previously been an equivalent £2 10s note.

The $50 note was introduced in 1973. The $1 note was replaced by a coin in 1984, while a $100 note was also introduced. In 1988 the $2 note was replaced by a coin.

norwegian-krone

The krone or kroner in plural is the official currency of Norway. Its ISO 4217 code is NOK and its symbol is kr. Its subunit is called the øre. The name of currency, when translated to English, is called “crown.” It was introduced to Norway in 1875 which replaced its currency at that time, the Norwegian speciedaler. It is the result of Norway joining the Scandinavian Monetary Union which was established in 1873 (Norway joined two years later) but persisted only until the World War I. In the union, the name of the currency is krone, for Denmark and Norway, and krona for Sweden. After the dissolution of the monetary union, Norway, together with Denmark and Sweden, kept the names of their currencies.

The Norwegian krone is divided into 100 øre. The coins were introduced to Norway in 1874 and some coins in 1875. Sometime between 1875 and 1878, new coins were introduced. The denominations consisted of bronze, silver, and gold coins. Bronze composed the 1, 2, and 5 øre, silver composed the 10, 25 and 50 øre along with 1 and 2 kroner, and gold composed the 10 and 20 kroner. The 2 kroner coins were last issued on 1917. Production of 1 and 2 øre was ceased in 1972, 5 and 25 øre in 1982, and 10 øre coins in 1992.

United States of America Currency:

Now, we could also take this discussion one step further, and examine why Federal Reserve Notes have integrated blatant Masonic symbolism (all-seeing eye atop the pyramid, novus ordo seclorum [translation: new order of the ages], etc.) onto our $1 bill since 1935, but I'll kindly pass on that conversation for now.

 

By definition, paper dollars that are issued without an express certification that an equal amount of gold or silver has been secured within the US Treasury (and can be provided to the bearer of said notes, on demand) to guarantee their value, are collectively known as fake money; as previously noted, others may prefer the politically correct term, fiat currency, however, being semantically neurotic, I prefer "fake", as the connotation of this word is generally stronger.

Before 1933, every US dollar bill was backed by statutorily-defined amounts of gold and silver. Therefore, anyone holding these bills could literally walk into a local bank, or if they so desired, the US Treasury itself, and demand to redeem them for their worth in gold or silver. As we all know, following the massive banking collapse of 1933, this policy was unconstitutionally suspended when President Roosevelt outlawed private gold ownership by US citizens; some dollars were still redeemable in silver until 1968.

In closing, below are two distinctly antithetic US dollar bills for your reference. If you cannot view either bill clearly, please contact me, and I'll gladly send you a copy for your records. As a man of my word, I attest that the following words do in fact appear, as is, on both bills.
