Today I saw the new 20 dollar bill in person for the first time. I don't like it. I like the last version better, and the original version the best, Now our money is looking more and more like everyone elses. This multi-color thing doesn't suit our money.

I agree. I think, some day, our kids will wonder why money is referred to as 'greenbacks' when there is nothing green about it.

RoFL... Monopoly money!!!
 
I haven't seen the commercial or the new money, I don't really see a need for commercials, though I think our money needs to be improved. They are trying to confuse the Russian mafia.
 
I thought the commerical was rather cool,considering it was for the government. I knew we were getting new currency but I hadn't seen any of it yet.
 
Yep the new money is dumb looking, it doesnt look very professional to me especially with those stupid little 20 signs floating around everywhere. It looks like our money was drawn up by some kid in 3rd grade.

I think we should redo the entire currency line up. All the bills look stupid to me. And get rid of the $1 bill! Make it a coin for all it's worth these days.

DUDE, no. They can't get rid of the $1 bill. It would destroy my primary source of income - small, sub-$5 high interest loans to people who really want to buy a soda. I lose coins left and right. Oh, and coins are more expensive to mint than paper, and when's the last time you lost paper money in the couch?
 
YEAH,,, I GOT YOUR QUOTES RIGHT HERE !!

Maybe you like the way your tax dollars are abused but I sure don't ...

Sure my opinion is extreme, but hey, I get extremely mad about this crap, old people can't pay for meds, U work all your life to retire broke, schools are a joke,,,,

There's plenty of money out there to make a difference and improve things,,, it happens to be my money and your money,,, but while I'm so retarded ask yourself how this,,, much input do you got on how it get's used ???

A commercial about new money HUH !! gonna pee on it n send it to the Bush campaign

No, I'd prefer that my tax dollars weren't collected at all. But as it is, I would much, much, much rather they be used in this manner than for stupid wealth-redistribution schemes that are veiled behind "Social Security" and "Welfare" among other govenment handouts to people who have not earned those handouts.

So, you would rather see commercials "advertising" money, rather than see the money to goto those who are in need?
And yes, I know the government does a horrendous job of managing anything, but, then again, we do have the business minded President.
 
Hello people!!

It's money! It doesn't need advertising. It's money!

The Treasury should just bring it into circulation like every other note printed. No big deal. It's money!

An old $20 will buy just as much as the new one.

Did I mention it's money?

And it looks different. Some people are stupid and will think it's counterfeit. A lot of people don't watch the news or read the newspaper. But almost everyone watches TV.
 
If they are stupid they should feel the pain of embarrassment at the bank or retail store as they insist they were given counterfeit money. Why spend tax dollars?
