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

[Nik]

Makes it more fun to use

are the pockets in modified jackets and vests cut differently for a jacket vs vest or based on the weight of the denim?

Noticing that the 14oz jacket pockets and internal pockets and smaller and taller whereas the 21oz vest pockets are lower and longer, if that makes any sense.

Fits more easily in a garter bet.

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 brailley bit, but size is easier…...

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

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

@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?

[Matt]

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.

[ROman]

Lovingly embarrass.

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.
