They say money doesn’t bring happiness but I just accidentally discovered that some euro coins are magnetic and proceeded to spend 30 minutes testing every type of coin from around the world I own to see if they’re also magnetic, which severely improved my mood

1 Fr: No

2 Fr: No

Conclusion: The preliminary results of this experiment further supports my hypothesis that America has the most boring money in the world. So far Canada is in 1st place because their $5 bills have astronauts on them and they smell like maple. The bills, not the astronauts. More data is needed to determine whether Canadian astronauts also smell like maple, but it is likely.

Of all the semi-popular posts I’ve made, this one has been the most wholesome so far. People are sending me info about which of the coins in their country are magnetic and it’s making me very happy. I love the internet sometimes
