Anything is better than American currency.

Agreed, most things in America are archaic.

This is alright.

I'm sorry Canada has freaking Hockey on their currency, how am I supposed to take that seriously.

Just like the rest of the world puts up with US currency having famous slave owners printed on fucking paper.

No one even knows who is on the Australian currency.

Just like American currency.

MATATAT

True, but at least people realize they are either Ben Franklin or some sort of president (except I guess Hamilton). Australian money just has a bunch of random people who are Australian and may have done something notary.

MATATAT

In reality I vastly prefer Australian currency (and the Euro which is pretty similar).

You should all read Umberto Eco's How to Travel with a Salmon and other Essays, specifically On the Impossibility of Drawing a 1:1 Map of the Empire. Also, Google Maps / Minecraft / digital, vr-enabled 1:1 maps are an amazing example of the technofuturistic age we live in.

EDIT: Also read Jorge Luis Borges' "On Exactitude in Science," the story that Umberto Eco was referencing in his essay.

I swear to god this is the fucking greatest commercial in the universe.

I think that we might have quite different definitions to the word "good".
That was horrifying.
