    New Bank Notes

    Had quite a laugh yesterday when trying to pay with the new banknotes. First time the person told me they did not accept the cash I was offering, assuming it to be counterfeit or something. Took me quite a while convincing her The next person accepted it, but still with a a lot of scepticism.

    Will be interesting to see how many forging/counterfeiting attempts there will be.

    I haven't seen one of these new notes yet. Is it really that different from the old notes?

    Do they still get the Cape Times and Die Burger delivered a day late in Springbok?

    One of the ladies at the office had a problem the machines we had wouldn't take the R20 note, I think the note is wider than before

    I got to see a new R50 note today. My goodness! It is quite a change - certainly lot more than replacing an animal head with our revered Nelson's.

    Now there's a thing. I wonder how much thought went into the possible consequences of such a big change.
