I'm missing two options:

  • First, in the "why do you not like it" detail breakdown, "cheugy". Some are trying so hard it's painful to even read I'd rather have no motif at all instead.
  • Secondly, why the hell does it all need to be one theme. We can have one thing on one note and another on another.

For us old people, what the hell is "cheugy"?

This, but generalised. I may even have over-generalised the term.

Second one is so checking fast is easy (ofc in most cases a more indepth one is a good idea anyway)

If every bill is way different someone might think you are trying to use monopoly money, and the guy using the fake money has extra time to get away with it

Sure, have a uniform graphic design but that doesn't mean that you can't have architecture on one bill and a head on another and a space station on yet another. E.g. Canadian backsides have a gazillion different motifs.
