wine vs dollars: the older the better?

It is usually believed that the older the wine is the better it will taste. Not so with US Dollars in many african countries. I witnessed a transaction where US Dollars printed before 2000 were rejected in an African country but the wine which the currency was being used to buy was eargerly sought after because it was a very old bottle of Italian wine. I wonder why US Dollars series printed before 2000 are frowned at by some African merchants, but accepted in the US. Do you know why?

    They should change the colonial-aged pipes also!

    I also think people should stop building houses all over the place.
