Ummmm....
Yes, downvote for asking why not fix your broken currency. That’ll encourage discussions.
You asked:
I explained why your large bills are easier to forge.
He's saying "ummmm" because we actually already do that. Fun fact :).
And we use different colours for each note.
But BTW, why the hostility to our... currency? Are you like a very patriotic IRS agent or something? Our currency isn't any more broken or extra forgeable than any other country's. I think you've extrapolated too much from seeing people bring up the occurence of forgeries on this one post.
We don't even really have paper money any more, it's all polymer 🤷
