Default A bit of fun.

For a little fun.

Ok, so if they ever made an Australian 1 Million Dollar Bill, who would be on it? What would it look like?

Sketches and ideas welcome

i suspect it would have random taxes written in all directions all over it for texture, with a pic of a speed camera up one end and smirking pollies down the other end, on the other side a cartoon pic up the end with the little aussie battler getting bent over and shafted with a small australia map full of banana`s representing the banana republic

Just to clarify, would the VL have Playboy seat covers or Jim Beam seat covers?

The reason they don't make a one million dollar bill is because of people like me.

I'd go into Maccas, order an ice cream, pay with the million, and complain about the time its taking them to get me my change :P

Surely it can't be Australian without a can a bloke standing next to a bbq holding a stubby in a fordforums stubby holder :P (yeah, i went there :P)

Also that VL needs the big holden sticker across the top of the windscreen, stockies on the rear with big mags on the front :P

But if we went a serious one, surely we should make an effort to include something like HMAS Sydney which is now in about its 6th incarnation i think. And i think we need something as iconic as the ute on there, utes are a huge part of culture and history.

One side, 10 falcons starting at XL, XP coupe, then onto XR GT, then XY GTHO III, then XB coupe, then XE ESP, then EB GT, then AU T3, then BA GT, then finally FG GT S/C.
Other side all the equivelent holdens. Dunno what the equivelents should be.

It should be Paul Hogan flipping the bird to the Taxation Office. Just imagine a couple of these and he could pay them what they think he owes.
