Woah! The NEW $10 Bill is COOL! ** PIC **

I like it. I was worried when they started talking about a lot of color that it wouldn't look like good old green cash anymore, but they did the color in a good way.
 
Wasn't this on Conan like a year ago? I remember him making a gay joke or something about the color.

Was it just not released or is yet a newer one?

And I wouldn't know because I only use credit/debit or quarters (for laundry).
 
The new $10 note -- like the redesigned $20 and $50 that preceded it -- incorporates state-of-the-art security features to combat counterfeiting, including three that are easy to use by cash handlers and consumers alike:

* Color-shifting ink: Tilt your $10 to check that the numeral "10" in the lower right-hand corner on the face of the note changes color from copper to green.

* Watermark: Hold the note up to the light to see if a faint image of Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton appears to the right of his large portrait. It should be visible from both sides of the note. On the redesigned $10 note, it is easier than ever to locate the watermark -- a blank oval has been incorporated into the design to highlight the watermark's location.

* Security thread: Hold the note up to the light and make sure there's a small strip that repeats "USA TEN" in tiny print. It should run vertically to the right of the portrait.

Last time I checked, employees are not going to specifically look to see the first two things are there when receiving cash. It is simply too time consuming for the limited reward. In every place I have ever worked, only 10's and higher were ever checked (and often not the 20s).

Seems to me that counterfeiting would be easier now... with so many different forms of bills floating around, even a crappy attempt at one of the old styles would probably pass by at some places. (note to federal agents adding to the file on me 😉 - maybe because there are 20 different bills for 1-20's, that would explain why some people have a) suspicious of $2 bills, and b) stupid enough to accept (according to legend) 3 dollar bills with Bush's picture on the bill.)
