Mate, your money does still seem monochromatic to modern eyes. I use it when I visit, and the other notes don’t have that rainbow on them. I admit I am rarely exchanging more than fifty US at a time . I’m comparing those that I use to modern notes.
And security features? The shops there still accept cheques. I was surprised the economy still functioned when I found that out.
Oh I’ve seen colorful foreign currency from around the world and how dull US currency looks in comparison. It would be nice if different denominations used different colors but honestly I rarely use cash these days so it really isn’t important to me.
A lot of places still accept checks here but more and more don’t anymore. However it’s not a problem in most cases though because fewer and fewer people use checks. A lot of young people don’t know how to write a check because it’s basically an unnecessary task anymore.
Both the uniform coloring and the size of US currency has long been a challenge for the vision-impaired here. Most other civilized countries have implemented different sizes for their bills and/or tactile features like “windows” that make it easier to identify a bill by touch.

I have never seen someone under the age of seventy try to pay with a check while working retail.

Yeah I’m used to Australian money:
