Yes, and as with everything over here it is made that way probably cause it is the cheapest way to go. The US always takes the cheap route. I always felt the paper used in UK newspapers was higher quality than here as well.
I hate the American mentality. Everything is substandard here, everything, all because everyone wants to save a buck. If the neo-Confederates in P&OC had their way here, all of our infrastructure and buildings would have similar quality to Mexico's.

I believe that. Monopoly is an American game after all. But our bills our much larger. The Euro notes are roughly the same size, especially the €5. Oh, and, our bills have that distinctive smell to them take a sniff
Lol!! Seems like only Americans appreciate the smell of our money. All my family in England and Germany hate the smell of our money too. Now you know why we say things along the lines of, "Ah the smell of money"
Just did a comparative study. Didn't find the dollars much smelly compared to the pounds and Swiss francs. The euros, however, stank, but that's because of my wallet.

No kidding. I have to tell you all about the guy I saw on Fox News on Saturday morning. Supposedly one of their expert economists talking head types that is always on. His name was Gary B Smith. He wants the govt totally out of the infrastructure business and wants private industry to run all highways, streets, and bridges in the US. Can you just imagine. He want Fire Dept's, police, etc. privatized.
The right wing in this country is looney tunes.
