The Friday Five on a Saturday

[nanila]

1. Do you like the look of your country's currency (bills and coins)?
   
   Yes, I do. I still don't live the plasticky feel of the new bills - they don't fold very well - but grudgingly concede that they are far more durable.
   
   
2. Regardless of their actual value, do you like bills or coins better?
   
   I like the UK's coins. Especially the £2 coin, it's very pretty and has a pleasing weight in the hand. A shiny new coppery 2p piece is also quite attractive.
   
   
3. What is your favorite foreign currency? And why?
   
   Euros. You can use them in so many countries. And they're also very pretty.
   
   
4. Do you collect coins or bills? Elaborate.
   
   Not formally, I haven't got an organised folder or anything. But I do try to save a few coins/bills from trips to other countries as souvenirs.
   
   
5. Do you think human society could make do completely without money? Explain.
   
   No. I think the sheer number of us and the vast variety of goods and services we use as individuals would make a bartering system very cumbersome. And it is still useful sometimes to conduct transactions in cash rather than card.
