Rolling them off the printer now...4 to an 8.5x11 sheet of paper







j/k, of course

saw that on the news last night, i laughed when they said it would be in circulation in the fall. This will be a repeat of the $1 coin, everyone will keep it.

never cause that would suck ass. I hated being in england and having 10lbs of coins in my pocket

O and someone will fake it within a month of its release to the public

 

[BatmanNate]

It ain't gold.

 

[clamum]

Cool. Doesn't look much different though. U.S. bills look boring compared to foreign currency.

 

[shiner]

Eh...not bad...I was afraid it was really going to look like Monopoly/European money when I first heard about it.

Its to easy to lose coins. Much easier to put the bills in your wallet then a coin.

forget coin.. just use electronic money.. would be a TON easier.. of course, that wont happen for a little bit longer

The Treasury plans to redesign bills every seven to 10 years to keep up with technological advances in counterfeiting.

At least we'll always be able to look forward to upgrades. I remember when all the bills looked the same.

I don't like the gradient, but otherwise its nice. The new Canadian bills are still better than both the Euro and the USD though, sorry.

 

[AthlonXP]

Are they going to give free samples?

The 1$ gold coins are actually quite handy for people who, say, take the bus all the time.

didn't they just change the $20? what about the other bills...when they going to change?


and a coin for $20?? that's rediculous.

At some point in the future, we'll be using electronic money. Just look at how many people use credit cards/ debit cards/ online banking now. Heck, I went for 4 months without touching a single real bill while at school.

 

[Spooner]

I'll take all your old 20's off your hands.

As long as the electronic device that keeps track of your funds isn't embedded in your right hand or forehead, I don't really care.

I personally think it sucks that they are coloring our money. Soon it'll looking nothing different from all the EU countries.
