What colour is your money?

It is not just the numbers that tell you the denomination...It is also the various dignitaries face that tells you...George Washington is on the $1 Jackson is on the $20...etc. It is tradition in our country for the money to be green...Confederate money was tan in color so maybe that is why the Yankees want their green...

Yeah we have to look at them. Unless you've never seen a specific type of bill, you can usually tell just by looking at the picture as each one has a different president. I've seen the different colored money from other countries before because people like to bring it from their vacation and show it like around like its Jesus or something.

Hi inedible! where are you from? our country's notes have recently been changed, the colors though are the same. However, i think that is correct, it is actually easier to see which notes are which without having to look at the denomination or the faces in each of the notes. I do not know how, but i am sure that for me i am okay with multi colored money that we have. i remember having 50 pesos in my id case and i forgot to remove it and then what happened was that my boss saw the folded notes (red) so she could tell it was 50 pesos heheh :D I have attached here the different new design of the Philippine pesos, they have already included the places that we are also known for. :D

Our money is also colored. Some notes are blue, red, and blue green however we still need to see the numbers in it to identify which notes are in 20's,50's and 1000's. Also the featured people and heritage tells us the amount of money. Say for example, if we see Benigno Aquino in our currency, we it is a 500 note. and if we see a rice terraces, it is a 1000 note.

in vietnam, currency is not fixed in one color, each type has different color. However i don't like polymer type, it is not as nice as paper type

In my country also, we have colourful currency as yours. We don't need to see the numbers on each of them. If someone is blind than still he can understand the type he had as the notes have special raised marks so that even blinds can classify.

If it's all one color, yes, you do have to look at the numbers. This can be a hassle when you make a mistake and give a dishonest person a twenty instead of a ten. In this case, colored money is better. Coins are a little easier because their different sizes and the penny is a different color. But sometimes your penny is old and the same color as your dime, and you confuse your dime with your quarter because they are the bigger coins.

I'd love to collect money coming from the different parts of the world! It would be interesting to mount them all on a chart. In our country money comes in different colors too. The 20's, 50's, 100's, 500's and 1,000's. However, I wonder why the color of our 100 is very close to our 1000. It is so tricky, one can easily make a mistake. One has to really look closely especially in the dark, you could lose a lot of money if you are not careful. Our 20's and 50's also look similar one could easily make a mistake.

Just like in your country Malaysia, here in the Philippines is colored too so as you said it is easy for us to determine the amount of money even if we are not going to look for the numbers. An easy access as well on how much to pick.

In my country we have Euros and they are coloured as well. I have never had some colours, like the 500 Euros bill but I've seen it around. It's better to have different colours and sizes, this way you recognise them without having to see the numbers. I have never been to US so I didn't know that they are all green, even though I have seen some of them like the dollar bill.

sorry, I don't understand with some sentences in your post. :)
