The color of money

The new, colorful US $20 bill is out.

It will be interesting to see how the public reacts to this. I can’t quite overcome my gut feeling that colorful money is fake money — I’m waiting from someone from the U.S. Bureau of Engraving to pop out of the woodwork and say “Oops — we made a mistake. That $20 bill in your hand isn’t real money. It was intended for a board game manufacturer and got mixed into the money we sent to Fed banks by mistake.”

    There was a story in my local paper the other day about area self-serve check-out machines are rejecting the new bills. Fred Meyer’s got to have someone come in and re-program the machines!
