      The simple answer is yes, the more convoluted is that Tom does the patterning for the heavy stuff, but not the lighter stuff….

        @goosehd:

        Why is the $5 UK note smaller than the $10 and $20….

        So if we have our eyes closed, it's dark or we are blind, we can tell which note we have in our hand. There's also the brialley bit, but size is easy….

        Now that's cool…I didn't notice the size difference between the $10 and the $20.

          Makes it more fun to use

          Fits more easily in a garter bet.

          Thanks @Matt . This is the real reason.

          The journey is the objective.

              @Matt Did you gain that bit of knowledge dancing at the anniversary party?  Did you promise Katie that you would stop dancing so you could get the vest?

                Divide the cost of the vest by 5 pounds and and you still wouldn’t have the number of time I embarrass her in a daily basis.

                    Just the way it is, £5 is smaller than £10, which is smaller than £20 which is smaller than £50

                      same with Euros, and to my knowledge most currencies except USD, to enable good differentiation

                        Quite genius!  The term “small bill/s” has taken on a completely new meaning for me.

                          And most countries have the genius idea of having different colours too.  I know that the latest version of Dollar bills includes some differentiation, but as a traveller/visitor I can't help thinking that the uniformity of the different bills is designed to make us part with the wrong value bill…..I know I have caught myself almost giving a $100 or a $10 instead of a $1 a number of times.....

                            Canada is halfway there as ours are all the same size but different colours.

                              I’m back with a more specific belt question after all of your recs.

                              I don’t really want super chonky.
                              I do want veg tan.
                              I do want something that my wife can easily order me for Christmas and not have to wait a long time to get.
                              I want it to be under 150 usd.

                              People recommended bullhide but I don’t see veg tan for them.

                              Any recs considering all of that?

                                          So what size should I get with a 33 waste. It looks like xs but that doesn’t seem right.
