Know your money!

These pieces of paper (all current legal tender) are not all equal. Some worth considerably more than others.

So, if you were carrying a wad of notes, playing at money laundering, pimp or just to impress, the Singaporean $10,000 probably your currency of choice... just saying.

1.  SGD  10,000   Singapore      = A$7,803







2.  CHF  1,000    Switzerland    = A$1,022
 






3.  EUR  500      Euro           = A$618








4.  JPY  10,000   Japan          = A$116








5.  AUD  100      Aussie         = A$100




6.  CAD  100      Canada         = A$97
 






 7.  USD  100     USA            = A$95
 






8.  GBP  50       UK             = A$77








Other "impressive" denominations

9.  BRL  100          Brazil       A$46
10. KRW  50,000    Korea       A$44
11. IDR  1,000       India        A$18
12. IDR  100,000   Indonesia  A$10

Very interesting, YW! This is a stupid question, but are the denominations equal? In other words, is it all based on the same amount but valued differently? I should know this...

It's all been converted into Aussie dollars, so 130 pieces of Singaporean paper will make me a millionaire!

What say we go somewhere nice for dinner? :)

Once upon a time, many years ago, I bought a brand new car that cost me $1,000,000.00 yen.

I always enjoyed thinking about it in Yen rather than USD.

Look at all the funny looking money! LOL
