A Trivial Puzzle - March 2013

[Rik]

ah - so the file name won't count either... darn...

I hadn't thought of that, Steve!

[Egg Bramhill]

Only took me 20 minutes and a magnifying glass! In my (and my old weary eyes) defence the $ is more an S with very slight lines. I even thought it may be that members using $ currencies could find it quicker as they were more aquainted with the symbol but we're all from the UK here apart from Su so this doesn't hold water.

...Well I found Steve's 2nd one quite quickly.. It was finding the first I had a bit of trouble with, but then I always struggle finding the dollars..

[Rik]

Well, Egg.
No defence is required. It takes as long as it takes.
It's a bit of fun.

Steve: You should have no problems finding dollars in Australia!
Am I right, that there is no symbol for the Australian Dollar?

[wizard509]

It took me forever to find it and I'm still not convinced that I did. For a long time I thought it might be a trick question and the $ was the blue one. Finally I found one that slightly resembled a $ more than did an S with serifs. So in light of this I am forwarding my eye doctor bill to Mr. Whatshisname.

[Su Lawrence]

Ok ... I thought it was a trick question too and that it was the blue one, I then just quickly checked the rest to see if there was another and didn't find one. So scratch my original time. I did find the other one once I realised this, but it took way longer than 30 seconds. You would think I'd be used to seeing the dollar sign by now.

Rik: I hadn't noticed a lack of $ symbols in Australia for the dollar. AFAIK it's the same as for here, in New Zealand, and of course the US. Although you do see them written as AUS$ (plus variations of) and NZ$ as well sometimes. Unless I've misunderstood your question.

That makes me feel a little better Su. Thanks

The symbol for the Australian dollar is $

But I mean't I have trouble finding the dollars (to pay the bills)

I don't have any Australian notes, but when I looked on-line, I couldn't find any with any $ symbols on the notes.
Hence my question/query.
Have I been looking at the wrong notes?

[steve.ledger]

I don't have any Australian notes, but when I looked on-line, I couldn't find any with any $ symbols on the notes.

Actually, neither do American, Canadian or New Zealand notes.
None-the-less, the symbol is still the $
