See if you can find the $ symbol in less than 30 seconds.

Let us know how long it took you.
But, don't tell anyone where it is!

Yes found it ... took about 10-15 seconds to check.

Regards

Su

NO. You can't count the blue one!

I hadn't thought of that, Steve!

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..

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?

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.
