i read on msn that they will start to add color to the 20 dollar bill next year. seems kind of cool, but a little expensive, i think the twenty is just fine how it is..

yea heard about it in class today, I wonder what colors their gonna make it... Monopoly money

Its about time the Americans became a bit more modern...coloured money has been around for years and years and the boring old greenback is just crying out for a bit of modernising.

Different colours for different denominations makes life a whole lot easier.

Canadian money is the best. sorry, that is it. we win.

money suggestions:

one dollar bills should be orange and flouresent
$5 - pink
$10--red w maybe some stripes
$20-blue and perm scented (maybe vanilla or straw)
$50-greyish silver color
$100-goldish color or maybe yellow and glow in the dark,

and maybe they should even change the picture to different ones like mother teresa or michael jackson on a hotel balcony with his children or bill clinton.

BLUE will rock

lol.... wat tha? Pink? Floral scented? LOL... suuuuure

interesting. i wonder what it will look like...

they wanted to make it americanized.. so im guessing red white and blue..

lol scented? that wouldnt work cause then some people would be allergic to money

some korean cash.

Arn't those the colors of Monopoly money?

almost;

$1 White
$5 Pink
$10 Yellow
$20 Blue
$50 Green
$100 Beige
$500 Orange

please tell me you had to get the game and look at the colors... or did you know them by heart?

actually in monopoly 50's are BLUE and 20's are Green.

whatever u do dont pull a stunt like canada and make the money look like something coming out of my cheque-book, and anyone else notice how our 5's and 10's seem to be warped real bad already?

LMAO

I'm from Atlantic City and I got em switched

Toxikk - I take comfort in the fact that I grew up here and still got it wrong

what a boring game

yeah, colored money would be nice. I visited canada a few months ago and i love their money system. What the US really needs to do is get rid of the damn pennies!!! maybe even make the smallest denomination quarters.

Something that would cut down on the costs of making money would be to make the dollar a coin, such as England does. Coins last a lot longer than paper. I think this needs to be done before changing the entire color of the bill which is just going to raise the cost of production. Exactly what is the purpose of color? Is it just to make it harder for forging? I can't see how color is going to make each bill more unique, making it easier to tell them apart, what's so hard about telling each bill apart right now. There different sizes and have huge great big numbers in the corner indicating there denominations.

People talk about the new bills looking like funny money. I happen to like the new bills. But color would be nice.

I read that the color is not going to be very much just a little in the back ground. I think it would be nice if our bills where more colorerfull. The green is a little old.

Americanized = adopt things from europe + canada and call them american.

Here is some UK money... thought the Korean ones were cool!

The flipside of all of these notes has more holograms & security bits, as well as a picture of the queen.

Pretty funky

Ok... those Korean ones are made up... or so it seems. Good Photoshopping though

Chicane,


You missed out the £50 note

I'm in Australia this week... the money here is really cool. Its different sizes and colors for each bill, but best of all its plastic, so you can send it though the wash and it won't get destroyed. It even has a neat little see-through window.

i think they started doing that at mcdonalds.. theres no 99 cent menu anymore.. its just a straight dollar... gotta start somewhere!

I heard that they aren't changing it due to looks alone, but also that some people figured out how to easily copy the new 20s, and that there's starting to be a lot of fakes in circulation. The color is going to be mostly an addition to new security measures.

if you happened to come across a fake and you didnt realize it.. and you went to spend it, but they found out its fake.. is there anything you do to exchange it for real money? or, are you just stuck with nothing?

Canadian money is pretty nice, it's about time u americans got a bit of colour in your currency

arghh...we can't change the green color. We'd lose all those cool green metaphors and catchy phrases.

Anywho, I think it's good as it is. No reason to change really, and I still like my dollar bill (I don't want to carry around piles of dollar coins...it's pointless). Plus, try putting American money through the washer, nothings going to happen to it...it's cotton! It'll just be clean.

I could see dropping the penny though, current prices make it more or less useless

Here is a page with all the Canadian Bills

Doesnt matter to me.. I dont have my money long enough to really look at it wonder "What this be like if it was blue"

Hell most times my money comes in the form of a BLUE debit card.


Prophecy

1 Million Dollar note who do you Canadians think you are it must be a Pick Pockets heaven!

I'm not sure about the Million dollare bill, i don't think it is used in circulation.
