Noteable

[Gob]

New Zealand’s five-dollar note has been named the banknote of the year for 2015, a “clear winner” among nearly 40 eligible designs from a record 20 countries.



The honour is awarded every year by the International Bank Note Society.

To be eligible, a banknote must have been issued for the first time during the year of the award, and be in general circulation. It is assessed for its “artistic merit and/or innovative security features”, including use of colour, contrast and balance.

Almost 150 new banknotes were released last year, with “over three dozen” of sufficiently new design to be eligible for nomination.

Announcing the decision, the society said New Zealand’s $5 polymer note was a “clear winner”, but Scotland’s Clydesdale Bank five-pound note, Sweden’s 20 kronor note, Russia’s 100 rouble note, and Kazakhstan’s 20,000 tenge note were named as runners-up.

Four continents, four Middle East countries and four island nations were among the nominees.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand released the new $5 and $10 notes in October as part of its Brighter Money range. The $5 shows mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary facing the South Island’s Aoraki/Mount Cook, and, on the other side, a rare yellow-eyed penguin and local flora.

You're Welsh, I know, and vowels are new and thrilling for you but "notable" will be recognized more often as an actual word. This is not Hawaiian.

You're welcome.

Yrs,

Great artwork on the note. Bee keepers are always the best people.

Oh god, he really doesn't get it?

It was a play on "notable" and the subject of the illustration, you prize prick.

Not a great one, but most would have let it pass. There again, Aspergers sufferers such as yourself have always found humour a challenge.

It was a joke. In future I'll provide explanations for the dim.

Or not.

You made a little joke and then I made another little joke. You had an option to follow on in the same spirit of humor which I did or just be the mindless asshole you usually are. Well it's tough for you to step outside your habits and learn a new thing but perhaps one day you will.

Oh well, thanks for trying, better luck next time.

Your attempts at humour are excruciatingly funny.

Unfortunately not for the reason you intend.
