Message:: [QUOTE="iPen, post: 2352957, member: 69760"]That would make sense with notes - color is easier to identify at the corners than to pull out the notes and try and see what the notes read as, especially if one has far-sided or overall worsening vision. Age consumes us all. Yes, but less prone to damage, no? Wouldn't a rounded "corner" exhibit far less wear than a sharp right angle corner? Hence, the titled premise, "Round Corners ( = less wear)". And, if the corners cause a cumulative degradation of the note's condition, thereby creating a significant loss of longevity to notes, then the notes can stay in circulation for longer = less cost to make notes. That's what I was getting at with the first post - if it would be significant enough to affect the durability of the notes and if the corners should be the primary area of focus for wear reduction. If it's not significant enough a change after conducting experiments, then that would be a good reason why the corners should remain as-is. And, "significant" can be defined and calculated by the BEP/government's cost savings as fewer notes experience turnover.[/QUOTE]
