Final vote: Official AFF nickname for "Woolworths Dollars"

[Mattg]

I was unable to add any new options to the original poll unfortunately, so I have had to start a new one. These are the three finalists in the running to be AFF's official nickname for Woolworths' worthless new currency, "Woolworths Dollars":

• Woolworthless Dollars
• Itchy & Scratchy Money
• Rupiah

Itchy & Scratchy money was in the lead, with Rupiah coming second place. However the last poll did not include that late entrant "Woolworthless Dollars".

Please cast your vote one last time for your favourite nickname (even if you voted in the previous poll). Thanks!

Dare I ask the history of the name :?:

Dare I ask the history of the name :?:

It comes from a Simpsons episode where they visit a fictional theme park called Itchy & Scratchy Land. At the entrance, Homer is conned into buying Itchy & Scratchy money which the sales assistant describes as "like real money, but fun" (or something like that).

This is what happens when they enter the theme park:

Oh a Simpsons reference. No wonder I didn't know it, and I am glad I voted for something else!

In honour of Paul Keeting: 'Pesos'

Woolworthless even though I earned 6 on my first purchase since the introduction. 4 more and I get 10 off a shop.

Suggestion for official abbreviation: WWLD

E.g. "Just earned a grand total of $0 WWLD today from $195.25 spend..."

Seems like a reasonable abbreviation.

Anyone want to use the Won symbol as the official symbol (as suggested here)?

• ₩

Glad I could contribute! It's probably the last you'll hear from me on this subject area though... for quite obvious reasons!

Cheers,
Matt.

My system won't display that symbol so I won't be using it.

I reckon a simple W will suffice. I am up to W0.72 so far.
