3.Australia loves interesting money.In 1988,it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes.Now it's introduced a new five-dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future!At first glance,the new note looks much like the old one.It has the same pink colour and main pictures on the front and back.But look closer,and you will notice a clear window running down the middle,surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses,a type of Australian plant.
Tilt(使倾斜) the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill,an Australian bird,beating its wings as if trying to fly away.Turn the bill from side to side,and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins,and the image of"5"changes position.While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining,that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them.Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for criminals to produce their own fake notes.
The new five-dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money.It has s raised bump alongside the top and bottom,enabling blind people to quickly determine its value.
The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all-important bump goes to 15-year-old Connor McLeod.The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas.Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria.To convince the government officials of his idea,Connor started a website that got huge public attention.
The government will add this feature to the new 10 bill which comes out in late 2017,as well as the updated 20,50,and 100bills that are still being designed.
