April 22, 2010: New Benjamin
Next February, the U.S. treasury will issue a new style $100 bill.
The reason for this 3 years overdue, high tech bill, is to thwart counterfeiters, like North Korea. There's 6.5 billion $100 bills currently in circulation and 66% are out of the country. Fortunately the old bills are still good, so I won't have to lug all those cardboard boxes in the attic to the bank. link

Finally a colorful US bill. Other nations will stop laughing at our money.
This is almost too many colors, but the tasteful gradient and traditional fonts stop it from looking like play money at all. And the big Chinese pisspot, in bold orange, reminds you who owns the note. |

UT, we will still laugh at your money, but now it will be for different reasons.

Too bad it will be colored with crayons next. Why does our money need to match a pimp's outfit?

I'd like to examine one. I don't usually come across them, so I guess a trip to the bank when they come out might be in order.

No. Freaking. Way.
In college we used to call our buddy Ben: Ben Jamin. Everyone called him that. Then, my friends and I who loved Bob Marley would sing this when he came around. That, and the Damn Chim song. (Dammit, Chim.) And Da Movement of Ja Peepholes. And for Fly Like an Eagle by Steve MIller, it was "How's the people, living in the street?" Huh? How they doin'?

now I just have to hear that song! luckily, I have my iPod with my entire music library in my purse. But wait! . . . that song isn't on there! This was back when I initially loaded only my fave songs. So I'll have to dig up my CD and reload it again.
also . . . the picture of the cover of the album on my cover flow . . . has everyone with short hair. Strange!

I think it's where the tea partiers keep their bags.
