U.S. $20 Goes Color This Fall (1 Viewer)

Good move, the coloured bills are much easier to tell apart.

The twenty is still kinda boring though

So then, I guess the governments super "non-counterfeitable" redesigned twenties, fifties, and hundred dollar bills were just too easy to counterfeit.

I think the new 'invisible' watermark should be set-up like fortune cookies, A differant message on every twenty!

 

[Glenn Overholt]

On second thought, maybe they should make the new bills $25. That would screw everything up.

That'd make lapdances easier to pay for...

 

[Alex-C]

Will they be making the pennies invisible ?

That'd do it for me !

I kinda like the new design. I originally thought it would be super colorful, but its not too bad.

Of course whether we like it or not doesn't really matter, 20 bucks is still 20 bucks as long as that paper is backed.

Just about every country in the world has color bills...makes them much harder to counterfeit, and also makes it easier to tell bills apart.

Yes cause I have a hard time telling the difference between a $20 and a $5.

Can you tell them apart if they're folded up and you can't see the number on them? I often have money folded just like that. Would make things a lot easier if they had different color and size.

Not to mention that it would be a lot easier for older people and others who can't see very well.

UGLY!

That's precisely the reason they added the big, bold number on the back, in the lower right corner, of the re-designed bills last time 'round.

Different colors I can somewhat go along with, but different sizes would be a nightmare.

I can verify that the local A&P's automated checkout line is not updated software wise to recognize the new bills. I got a bunch of them this past weekend and tried one there Saturday night and it rejected it. I simply used a legacy $20 bill

As much as I like the new design, I wish it were more colorful. It could stand to look more other, multicolored currencies found in other countries.

I love the commercials promoting the new twenties. To be honest, I had never thought of why I should collect or want this thing called "money". These commercials have completely convinced me that I need "money". After all, it's cool looking. Where can I buybuy err.. acquire such things so I can buy things with them?

(That's it! No one will want a $20 bill unless we come up with a fantastic marketing plan! Suddenly, people WILL want money!)

If you lived closer to me, I'd gladly sell you the new $20 bills for some geeennuuuiinneee old $20 bills, at least until the software gets updated for all the money readers.
