- Oz - the land of the plastic note - yes, folks our $5 notes are actually
- made of plastic! One good thing for the sight impaired - all Oz notes
- are a different size - so unlike the States, you're not so likely to

- And why not! Wasn't there a t-shirt going around that had "don't shoot,
- I'm *not* an American" on it in a dozen languages? :-)
