I have a bunch of Canadian change. No idea how it got here, as I've never been to Canada. I also have a 10 pound bill from when I went to England. It has a bunch of midgets playing cricket on it.

I must still have a little from pretty much all parts of the world I, or my parents have been to.
We just never get around to exchanging it back into our country's curreny upon returning.

Details of this are not available at the moment due to me being unable to think straight for longer than 2 seconds at a time, meep.

About 5 Saudi Riyaldhs(if that is how you spell it) and about 76 pence fthat was left over from a trip to the uk 5 years ago. I also have some Maltese coins somewhere......aswell as a few hundred euros stashed away

I have a bunch of Malaysian Ringgit somewhere, a few sets of coins (one of each denomination) from UK, and a £5 note from the Bank Of Scotland (the only reason I keep it) in my wallet. Oh, and £10 in pound coins, with different designs on each coin.

[edit] 500th post!

I have some cents from Ireland and some pence from England, Scotland, and Wales somewhere. I may have a few cents from Canada too.

I hate so much about the things the U.S. dollar chooses to be.

Huh?

Can any British people explain the significance of the midgets playing cricket? There must be some meaning for you guys, but our money has presidents and monuments and stuff on it.

Um. Midgets playing cricket?
Our currency has a lot of oddities. Pyramids with giant triangular eyeballs on top, one of our more genocidal presidents, wheat, and secret religious messages in Latin. But no midgets playing cricket. That sounds way more interesting than any dumb monument.

You're a Canadian sleeper agent.

Well that's the Charles Dickens tenner, but if you read the little caption under the picture, it usually explains the significance of the pic? The background pic is usually there for decoration, but it's the portrait of the famous person, and sometimes, the little caption, which is usually something of importance. Usually...

Never mind, it was a reference to a TV show that I didn't really expect anyone to get.

Probably too much to count. (I collect foreign currency. ^^)
I know I've got about $15 or so face value Canadian, but it's probably worth $35 or $40 all together, not including silver prices.

Isn't there a cricket match in the background of one of the notes?
It being a national pastime or something?
(Then again, Tabloids complaining is as well, but I don't see a CCTV camera or a bike or anything on there)
