Proof that Australian bank notes are the best in the world because they are sized according to a log scale. Also, they are water-proof.

I compare Australian, Canadian, UK and USA bank notes in an unbiased competition to see which is the best. My dual criteria are:

- the closest log-scale fit between the value and physical object for each note
- able to survive a being left in pocket and going through the wash

If you disagree: cast your vote now!

If you think I have missed an even better currency: I accept bribes in whatever the currency may be.
