Hmm...I haven't seen any of these yet. I imagine they're a lot like the euros, used those on my recent trip to Romania, didn't really have an issue with them except for the stupid different sizes of the bills themselves.

Seriously not busting stones here but here's an honest answer to an honest question: Why are currencies different sizes? NOTE: I'm not entirely convinced--they could "Braille-ize" same-size bills.

Truly need Brother El Ciego to give his forthrightness on this.

Actually, it occurred to me later that that might be the reason. :mrgreen:
