Well now I know a way to pretend you've got a lot of money, get it in dollar bills. 'Cause this fails to work in countries where the lowest major denomination is a coin. Or would it? You've got a dollar coin over there, would some of these situations would've been more interesting if those were used?
I imagine Zoner still has a stash of $2's, to which he's probably added the $1 coin. I'd probably use the AUD$5 coin for thing's if I could get a stack of them in the circulated form.

You can't go into a bank in Oz and say "I'm going to be parking at meters a lot for a week or two, so please give me my withdrawl in fives"? We dont have a $5 coin in Canada, but I can get a withdrawl as a roll of $2 coins if I ask for it...

Most of the fives I've seen are special commemorative coins - the size of silver dollars, not something very wallet friendly. Plus they're now apparently only minted in solid silver.

*Blinks* You mean to say that five Canadian Dollars worth of solid silver is that much!?
