New US $20

[bayrider]

what do you think of it? they launch next month. IMO they should eventually transform all the bills this way with a slight difference in color for each denomination. It's way better than Canada's new bills. Those things are only a few years old and are already worthy to make paper marche out of.

pretty interesting. why does it say specimen on it? will all of them say that?

[vip]

I kinda like them, will make them harder to duplicate

[Blaise Veteran]

ah well, I guess hey have to try something.

"specimen" is the more professional way of saying "sample" :shifty:

it says specimen so you can't create the bills off the net lol..

They won't have that one them.

IMO i think they should send me some unmarked 20s and I'll tell them what I think about the new look... I'm saying, all they have to do is send me like 100 of them so I can look each one over... :)

They are planning on changing all the us dollar denominations. Counterfeiters are gonna have a hard time copying these bills with all the different characteristics the US Treasury put into them.

About time, I've always wondered why the US treasury was taking so long to colour their bills.

it might be me, but i think it's ugly. the color change looks like what happens to a photo when you leave it in the sun too long. and the wavy words aren't doing too much for me either.

simple, one word... money. It costs more money to make..... money.... :blink:

But if it prevents from counterfeiting the bills, then it only makes that do it regardless of how much the initial costs will be,

[Guest Sharpie30K]

looks cool. i think i heard somewhere that their going to change it every year, just another thing to get use to. the US Mint should take a hint from the Australian Mint and use a plastic window.

this is Old news

anyone else notice how it's looking more and more like monopoly? when they first redid the bills, everyone said it looked like monopoly money and for at least 2 years there were monopoly money jokes everywhere. Now, it looks even more like monopoly money....

so? the whole point of the thread is to get people's opinion... since it launches NEXT month :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[bayrider]

i dont think it looks like monopoly money... i mean look at our 5 dollar bill.. it has kids playing hockey on it. Personaly canada's new 10 and 5 notes look like custom cheques u can order from the bank. Theyre falling apart too, the older bills were much stronger

[bayrider]

here are our "new" bills

*the $5 is actually way lighter than that... he must'n have adjusted his scanner.. irl it looks almost baby blue

[ahfunaki]

those are crazy...

[empty]

holy crap, those canada notes look like they let a 5 year old paraplegic kid loose with some felt tip pens :x

[Bling3k12]

I like the colored bills... I wish our US money would look like the Euro bills. Those are sweet looking. :D

I agree, I think his head gets bigger and more misshapen with each new release :blink:

[monofonik]

the beauty of living in canada is we can count our money without even having to pull our money out of our wallet.
