Interesting. One of the most counterfitted bills in the world. I guess they have do what ever they can to fend it off.

I find it remarkable that 2/3rds of US currency is held outside the USA. We all know why, but that is probably unique in the world today.
And it makes the US deficit and debt problems (nearly) everybody's problems. What if the US decides - or is forced - to devalue the dollar to pay off debt. Watch the Saudis and Chinese wail as their big piles of US$ halve in value.

I have one in my possession right now! Doesn't belong to me, but I have one....
What US bills really need is to be different sizes to make it easier for people with limited vision to tell them apart. Being colorful only helps if different bills are different colors. All multicolored is no better than all green.

Check out all the new $100 bill's features in this Wikipedia movie. The inkpot is a "a color changing 'Bell in the Inkwell'". The security ribbon is "3D" (will they hand out the glasses to prove it?)

Or where the tea-baggers keep their parties?
Is it only Presidents that make it onto currency? No women then I suppose. Not that I feel superior - we have no choice but to have a woman on all our currency after all. |

They've tried one dollar coins before: Susan B Anthony and Sacajawea.
They never catch on, but I think it's more the issue of the coin than the wimmenz. Or, not.
