Jump to postIn Chile varies from "Ay"(A-eeh"), to "Au"(A-ooh) with the simple "Aaah" in the middle.

That 2000CLP note is real.
As Derico said, the only chilean note made of that plastic material is the $2000 one. Notes of 1000, 5000, 10000 and 20000 are made of paper.
In Chile you can turn right on red light only when permitted by this sign.
It is a relatively recent practice and it certainly is a good one.
