I had you down as a cash-in-hand, finger-tap-on-the-side-of-the-nose, glance-over-the-shoulder kind of guy.

I don't know about New Zealand - but Australia's getting some new fancy banknotes sometime in the near future... do a Google search for the look...

I only ever carry nuggets of gold.


(Please be aware, most retailers do not accept nuggets of gold for payment of goods; not even Starbucks).

What does Te Putea mutua mean? Really nice design though. Beats the hell out of Harriet Tubman on our 20 here in the US. She looks a bit dour in the image they chose. Sentimental, politically correct and all that but still, they could have photoshopped her face a bit.
