I like them, do not mind a fresh change at all.

But do not see how it cost them so much money to come up with this? Oh well.

For anyone here that travels extensively, many locals and tourists around the world love the Australian currency notes - its very distinguishable to tell how much is what notes by the colours, and being made out of plastic with protection makes it harder to forge (but not impossible, just a lot harder). You can even use Aussie notes in Vietnam now instead of US notes and they love it there - harder to get damaged ie. rain. I have ruined quite a few US notes too from getting it too wet etc.
