Different sizes and colours in Australia. We also have plastic notes, and coins for $1 and $2.

When I was younger a blind guy came to our school to give a talk and answer questions from curious kids. He told us that once a shopkeeper deliberately shortchanged him, but another customer noticed and called him out. (Is business really that bad that you're willing to rob a blind man for an extra $20?) After that he bought a little device that measures the size of the notes.
