I'm all for a bit of friendly rivalry with our cousins over the pond and any banknote featuring a grumpy Santa lookalike giving a hummingbird the evil eye gets my vote.
What about you?

Probably just depends on your view on religion, for example, if you believe in God, you'd say American money is better, but if you are a Athiest yoou would say British money is better.
Personally i think the friendly rivalry is great, and you can get into some frickin funny internet wars about it.

Just about everybody has prettier money than we do, with a more diverse array of icons. But we do have that funky pyramid with the glowing eye on top, which transcends its masonry origins and even transcends money itself. Yay for the mystic eye staring at us from a dollar bill.

Silvio Berlusconi's been reading Current.com - now waded into the debate...
'Italy better than Britain'
"Il Giornale, a newspaper owned Berlusconi's family, has launched an extraordinary attack on Britain, claiming Italy is now better than the UK at 'everything'."
Show us ya notes Silvio! Or, right - you don't have your own any anymore! :D

Bow down to your "superior" Royals, you lowly subjects. You have no say in your issuance of money or laws. You are slaves to central banking and the house of lords. You can keep your Darwin, if that fills the void of not being a sovereign nation.

well If we were talking about the scottish, then yes, a far superior race/culture. However including the english wankers in the debate they rank somewhere between drunk monkeys with a penchant for Masturbation and mimes.

How do you figure that? The British don't have "The Simpsons", "Ren and Stimpy" "Family Guy" "South Park".... i.e., they do not have cartoons that cater to adults. So how can they be culturally superior? HAHAHA!
The Brits do not believe they have to "dumb down" entertainment to be funny. Their comedy is very dry, very upper crust. There comedy is a class act, as are their television dramas. Here, "television drama" is the sexually obsessed Will & Grace, Sex & the City, etc. etc. When you have every TV character obsessing over sex, you prove that the writers have no real talent. The British culturally superior? Absolutely! Americans are cultural idiots- and idiots whose educational skills fall far behind those of other developed countries. Professionally made signs and billboards full of misspellings- I saw them frequently in Louisiana, where I lived for a spell. Yep- we are a nation of imbeciles. - 3 years ago

I think we're all missing the point here - Britain's beef is with Austrailia for at least another month - we'll deal with the US after.

And yes, jonbrooks, American bills are all the same size - but at least they've finally added some colour (though that still doesn't help the blind people).

jonbrooks:
Yes, they are. I remember a couple of years ago some organization tried to get the notes changed so they would be different sizes and easier for those with impaired vision to distinguished. But I'm not sure what happened with that. It probably got shot down because we don't like change nor do we like to accommodate others.

Yep very offensive. And this schmuck probably gives talks on "diversity" for a living. reminds me of the guy who allegedly had sex with a bimbo in a church. He was mid 30's, healthy as a horse, and did it as a radio station stunt. Dropped dead of a heart attck 2 months later, despite having no family history or history himself of heart problems. ya get what you pay for, eh? What a price he paid!
