Well, I just got my last one in the series - the 50 pound note.


Congrats.

Is your £50 unc (or almost unc)? I am wondering what's that at the bottom left of the obverse.

It would be great of the mint would get back to disclosing mintages - they should be able to do it quite easily while maintaining their stupid yearly numbers.

I wonder if we will ever see double-sided coloured coins?


You'll probably see them starting 31-March-2025:
https://www.caribbean-guilder.com/c...-curacao-5cg
https://www.caribbean-guilder.com/c...-maarten-5cg

They are part of the new coinage, new currency resp., of Sint Maarten and Curaηao, the Carribean Guilder.
All the coins of the CG have been minted by the Royal Canadian Mint.

No need to update the cash drawer to make room for a higher bill; cashiers would just put them under the existing tray like they do with $100s (they do still do that, don't they?).


Well, here in Germany (=Euro zone), it depends on the supermarket chain.
There are chains where the €100 and €200 (yes, most supermarkets accept the €200 notes) are put under the tray.
Some chashiers put the €100 in the compartment of (and together with) the €50. Not a problem because of different colours (€50 orange/brown, €100 green).
There are chains which have an extra box beside the seat of the chashier where €100 and €200 are thrown in.
There are also chains where the chashier has to throw in €50 notes in those extra boxes. There, you only receive €5, €10, €20 in change.

However, most chains encourage you to pay cashless these days.

First of all, I wish the Australian currency determinations were more like the Canadian ones which are easy to read.
