The new $20? well did you find all the secret things they put in there? From the strip, watermark, micro-prints and UV reacting strip. There is one more I found. It reacts to Infra-red light. Look at the back of the twenty, if you have night vision camcorder, activate that and point it towards the back of the new twenty bill. Its better to do this in a dark room. Point the camera and focus on the left side of the 20 bill until you see part of the white house disappear with a line.

I agree, the whole visa thing is outta control, but when your credit bill comes, you have to have money to pay it. I totally love American money and all (because it's worth so much :p) but I went there and I had the hardest time telling 1 dollar from like, 50 dollars! They all pretty well look the same maybe once you get used to them it's okay but once you're used to Canadian money they're pretty blah and hard to tell apart, thank god they're starting to add colour.

Yeah, that's what happens when I try to make jokes. Unfortunate that you can't edit posts on MT, since I realized my error about 3 seconds after posting (but chose to wait in the hope that nobody would notice, or care.) All of this is going to be moot once VISA achieves world domination and makes physical cash obsolete. You laugh. Wait until they finally take over Mastercard (there's no logic for both existing anyway.)

Tom, I believe Lincoln already has a bill. Actually, maybe the $20 bill should have a portrait of that other Indian killer, William Henry Harrison, because they never seem to last. lukas, the management here has not yet seen fit to implement my strict anti-leet policy proposal. However, as a staunch defender of the English language, I feel a stern repremand is in order. "r0xx"? Man, you're Canadian, have some respect for yourself.

Are we short of Presidents or something? Maybe we could upgrade Lincoln from the penny, and finally get rid of that dammed thing already. They cost to make than they're worth. Talk about value destruction.

When do we get to kick the genocidal maniac off this bill? I vote for MLK Jr. for the twenty dollar bill. And we'll put Malcom X on the ten.

it's like j0sh was saying today- american currency is looking more and more like something you'd find in europe. one of these days we're going to wake up and some polish guy is going to be on the $5 bill and it's going to have the same colors as the rainbow flag i always see up in the west village.
