Change

This blog is going to be about something else that is very strange about Oz... there change (the one you get when you buy a pack of gum with a 5 dollar bill)

First thing is the smallest denomination is 5 cents .. so when doing transactions in cash if the price is 99.96 it will get rounded down to 99.95 or if its 99.98 then it'll become 100.00.. second thing you can see if that the 5 cents is the smallest followed by 10 then 20 and then 50 which is this massive piece of metal .. 4 times the thickness of a Canadian quarter and twice as big ... finally the 1 dollar is far smaller than the 50 cent and the 2 dollar even smaller (about the size of 4 stacked  Canadian pennies)

The notes are nice.. close to Canadian but plastified ..

Similar to canadian currency though .. the more you have the better it is :)

Till the next update!
