Aussies not happy with the new $5 note
SOCIAL MEDIA REACTION TO AUSTRALIA'S NEW FIVE-DOLLAR NOTE, DUE FOR RELEASE IN SEPTEMBER
CHILD-LIKE DESIGN:
"It's like they let a 5 year old loose on the $5 note! That's how bad it is," tweeted Guy.
"It looks like it should come in a set with a plastic cash register, ages 3-7," said Twitter user Daisy.
Rachael Lonergan tweeted, "Look I think it's cool that the $5 note was designed by a 6 year old who'd had too much sugar at a birthday party. You people are killjoys."
WATTLE OR BACTERIA?
"The thing I like most about the new $5 note is how it shows the bacteria that mutated the koala into the drop bear," tweeted Justin Woolley.
Lexie Elizabeth tweeted, "Why does the new $5 note look so ugly?? It legit looks like there is E. coli crawling all over it."
HOW OLD IS THAT PIC OF THE QUEEN?
"Nice to see the new $5 note's got the queen's LinkedIn pic from 1983," tweeted Chris Hatzis.
"New Australian $5 note really knocks years off the Queen," tweeted Joanna Hall.
IT'S ALL GOOD:
"Guys if you think I'm going to complain about what my money looks like ... I will accept any $5 note. Send me your unwanted $5 notes," tweeted Aine Ryan.
Dymocks Adelaide tweeted, "... we will be accepting the new $5 note, just as an aside..."
