Our currency is slowly moving into the realm of Monopoly money.

And yet the $1 bill remains unchanged? Because it ain't worth counterfitting. They don't change the designs just for shits and giggles. |

Security features added to the paper help people to spot bogus bills. They include...an embedded security thread.  |

I mean if the freaking $5 is worth counterfitting so is the $1. I mean, it freaking has Washington on it! WASHINGTON! That, like, makes it better than the rest. I mean, hell, Franklin wasn't even a president. |

Yeah but Ben Franklin was President of Mars in the 3rd century, therefore it makes him better than Washington ;D |

makes sense. the other non-$1 bills all got one(the twenty, several). Was a matter of time.
Considering I rarely get my hands on too many $100 bills, not a big deal. But then again, I really don't give a flying f*** what the money I'm spending looks like, as long as it still retains all the features and values that it should. It could have a picture of Ben Franklin's dick on it, but as long as it still works like pre-makeover bills, I don't care. Maybe I'm missing something on an aesthetic level.

They should replace the U.S. Dollar with "Real Life American FUN BUCKS!"

I remember a friend from Canada came to visit in 2002 and said she was having so much trouble with our money because it was all the same color, she didn't know which was which.......even though the dollar amount is printed clearly on each bill in several places.

Highest domination? what about the $100,000 bill? In general circulation. I think you gotta make a few special trips to get your hands on that one. Or the $10,000 bill. With all the Presidents on it. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter is passed out on the couch. |

That's actually pretty sad. I'd have to guess she means when riffling through her wallet. When different denominations have defining characteristics like color - something the eye notices immediately - it can be very helpful. If you aren't used to a currency, you have to look to find where the numbers are printed. It's not like you'd expect a Canadian to know the difference, on sight, between Washington and Hamilton any more than a Canadian should expect us to tell the difference between the people pictured on their currency, such as Wayne Gretzky and former Prime Minister Dougie the Goose. |
