I thought it was a joke, but I wasn't sure.
Stamps regularly come out in new issues, there are many issues in any given year, so I don't really have a problem with them featuring an entertainer, as long as it's someone who has has stood the test of time (like Rush, or like say John Farnham or Slim Dusty) rather than just the current pop sensation. Issues of new currency are much rarer, so I think that should be reserved for presidents, prime ministers, scientists, humanitarians, people like that.
Incidentally, can we agree that the USA has the most bland unimaginative design of any country for its currency notes? The denominations all look the same.
I'm just having a little fun with you. Didn't mean to offend. It's just that the stereotype of Australia/Australians from our American (or my) perspective is kinda funny. My daughter works for a large chain of restaurants called "Outback Steakhouse." All the menu items have some Australian colloquialism, and the bathrooms (the loo, or whatever you call it in Oz) are labeled "Blokes" for men, and "Sheilas" for women. It's pure cornball. It's about as Australian as Foster's Ale.
I only pay attention to the number on the bill. Couldn't care less who the president on the note is. Couldn't care less what all the symbols mean, or what color the notes are.Incidentally, can we agree that the USA has the most bland unimaginative design of any country for its currency notes? The denominations all look the same.
Yes. Whenever I go to the States, I have to take extra care to look at the bills I am using. That may seem silly to an American, but in Canada all you need is the colour. Brown is 100, red is 50, green is 20, purple is 10, blue is 5.... so you get used to not scrutinizing your cash.

I reckon we should have famous Aussie landmarks on the notes instead of people. Uluru, Harbour Bridge, Opera House, etc....
