With all the talk of cryptocurrencies recently, it's easy to forget that all around the world most people still use paper money. Here's a side by side comparison of cash from my recent travels. The countries this money comes from are: The Gambia, The USA, Sierre Leone, Indonesia, Ghana, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, South Africa, and Thailand.

I find it pretty interesting that is difficult to determine the economic status of a country from its currency. One might think that a poor country might have low quality paper bills, but in fact most of these bills feel very nice and high quality.
