  • I just can't even describe the new look of money anymore

    Ok, this may be old news to you, and change is the only constant in life. But change for change's sake?

    While browsing treasury site looking for some data because my link is too old; I noticed the front page news: https://modernmoney.treasury.gov/

    I've always balmed counterfeiters on the quick changes to our money; the colors and larger portraits, little numbers everywhere; I don't even know what the newest bills should look like anymore.

    Now, I can blame our gov. Our bills is going to be like our quarters,if I'm given a quarter with a picture of a foot on its back and a tongue sticking out (like hitchhiker's guide) I wouldn't be able to say whether that's a real quarter or conterfeit. There are just so many different designs on the quarter.

    Not to mention the extra costs associated with new bills. This is almost like a poor family heavy into debt decides to get a new car when their old ones works just fine : )

    Oh well, keeps life interesting.

    It's called Political Correctness, welcome to the America in 2016. If anything, an American Indian should have been used for the new $20. bill.

      That'd be pretty funny.

          Ah, come on now, you can handle it. You aren't that ossified.

            If I can spend it, then I could care less who's picture is on them.

            Most of my financial transactions are done electronically anyways.
