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.

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.
