Alberto Antoniazzi wanted to create money so ridiculous looking that no country would dare consider it for printing. I think he hit the mark with these.
Colorful redesigned Dollar notes
May 24, 2009 @ 5:09 pm
I actually enjoy this set of redesigned Dollar denominations. I don’t think the United States Mint would ever go with a design this radical, but it’s nice to look at anyway. Although, I’m not exactly sure how I feel about having the bills be predominantly vertical rather than horizontal. I think that’s more of a radical change than simply putting more colors on the Dollar.
Australian Dollar to US Dollars
October 10, 2008 @ 10:38 am
Wow, I guess it’s sort of a good thing that I came back to the US in July when the exchange rate between the Australian Dollar was almost 1:1 with the American Dollar. If I came back now, I’d be short of a lot of cash that I made in Australia. I still want to move there after graduation though.
Starbucks is serving $1 cup of coffee with free refills
January 24, 2008 @ 2:55 am
Starbucks Corporation is rolling out a new and “secretive” $1 cup of coffee at select Seattle locations.
The $1 test undercuts even low-cost coffee purveyors, including McDonald’s Corp. and Dunkin’ Donuts, a unit of Dunkin’ Brands Inc., whose coffees generally start in the low $1-plus range. Although most sit-down restaurants top off customers’ coffee free of charge, specialty cafes have largely stayed away from the practice. Starbucks will face increasing competition this year from McDonald’s, which plans to start adding a line of espresso drinks at its U.S. restaurants.
The $1 coffee is served in 8-ounce short cups and word is that they are even offering free refills on these beverages. So really, you can get unlimited brewed coffee at Starbucks for $1.
PS: The back-to-back coffee posts were not intentional.
