This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Canada could have had this...

We use pics of asshole PMs and the Queen instead.

I think at this point in world history we should just stop idolizing people, whoever they are. I love the idea of having animals or cultural symbols in the notes (like canada's leaf, france's eiffel, US's burguers etc)

Made me re-read this whole comment in a thick French accent

Australia got glow in the dark dinosaurs.

Ed: wait no Canada got the glow in the dark dinosaurs and Australia got regular non glowing ones.

I don't know... I kinda like the $5 bill with the astronaut on it.

[–] Ludicrous0251@piefed.zip 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Over a badass wolf? Put the astronaut on a coin nobody uses and move on.

Compromise: Wolf astronaut.

Animal money is best money!

I do think a narwhal bill could be especially majestic

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Canada should've done that

And this is making me think the US could do national parks on our money. We could have colorful geyser money, but nooooo we needed a slaver on that bill…
