How often do foreign countries update their currency? |
|
The US seems to have revamped its currency a lot over the last several years.
And we're finally introducing color; something foreign countries have been doing for decades, if not longer.
I wonder, given the gap of intelligence between US citizens and the civilized world, should we have outsourced the monetary redesign project?
Or perhaps we did, as the money isn't all RED, WHITE, and BLUE - how unpatriotic is that? :eyes:

"Look at all this money, all those pinks and purples." "Our currency sure is gay."
From the Brazil episode. ;)

3. Most European countries |
|
have regular updates.
We're unusual in that until recently our currency hadn't been changed since before WWII, other than some minor changes in some coins.
