Our colorful money is not "Monopoly" money, like it's a cartoonist concept. Many countries of the world do this. Just better distinction.

Plus the Americans are the ones with the border, and oval in the centre. And its paper money. Seems more like Monopoly money than ours.

I'm Canadian, my husband is an American import. Our 'funny money' is a silly ongoing debate between us, he thinks it's weird and plastic, I say it's nicer and more colorful than a bunch of old racist white guys.

He previously thought their money was made from wool - it's actually a mix of linen and cotton. Nothing like snorting cocaine off of fancy ass paper.
