OT: New U.S. $20s
New $20s hit the streets in the U.S. this week. The government is spending $33million to advertise them. That scares me as lack of advertising never kept me from wanting the old ones...... That's some budget they have! (this was from CNN)

I heard that it's more of an educational campaign to inform those who handle money (ie: cashier's, banks, Wal*Mart employees etc...) how to detect the real ones from fakes.
Looks like a little colour will differentiate the 20's and next will be 50's then 100's. Seems this will take several years to displace the old greenbacks.

I for one am excited by the new $20s! I grew up in a part of the U.S. where Canadian money is almost as common as U.S. money (Spokane, WA), and I always felt jealous of the Canadians, with their "pretty" colored bills!
The amount spent on education is rather silly. I've seen many different "moneys" come and go (including the ill-fated Susan B. Anthony dollar), and I've never seen where these education programs make much of a difference. But I'm jazzed about the new colorful $20!

- Tell us something.: I play the first flute Jon Cochran ever made but haven't been very active on the board the last 9-10 years. Life happens I guess...I owned a keyed M&E flute for a while and I kind of miss it.

Just spill some orange Tang on the previous edition, and you'll get the general look of the new Twenty, and without nearly the hassles from the Secret Service revenooers.John Allison wrote:I haven't seen the new bills yet. Can someone possible scan one, front and back, and post it...please?!? We should be proud of our new currency.
On a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT note, does anyone know where a friend of mine can buy some cotton/linen paper for a school project??
