Pretty interesting, although it sure seems like over-kill. Is there huge money to be made in counterfitting fives?
The coolest thing on this site is under the "history in your wallet" tab. Tell me that 1896 $5 isn't the most bad-ass piece of courrency you've ever seen?

Okay, why can't we go back to the 1896 bill? That is a freaking awesom fiver.
Hoi, chummers!
Definitely... coolest bill ever

Ah ha! The day is nigh where we of Canadia may look upon our neighbors to the south and laugh at THEIR funny money!

I like the gigantic purple 5 on the back. Guess nobody will confuse a fiver with anything else anymore!

I'm still a fan of the idea of different sized bills for different denominations

I like the 1896 with the naked chick on it.

You would be surprised. A fiver isn't a large enough denominational to draw much scrutiny, while still being enough to be useful.
Yeah I'm going to have to vote for the 1896 as well. That is just epic.

I hope you are kidding. If you've ever handled money in any capacity you would know how silly that notion is.

Just what we need. Purple money.

Well it looks like one of the new 20s that is now worth 5 dollars. I was thinking that we'd dumbed our society down to such a point that we just replace Lincoln's face with a big 5.
I want plastic money, screw you vending machines.

I'd hit it.
You're right, I've never handled money. Never mind the convenience of being able to tell your bills apart without pulling them out to look. I'm personally fond of the idea of different sized and different colored bills is all. It's obviously not that silly of a notion if we already do it with our coins.

So do they kill the engraver when he's done?

That 1896 fiver looks like it was drawn by a comic book artist. We should just do away with paper money. Just get a number like on our hands or forehead you know? Like a debit card on your skin!
It's even got roman numerals on half of it. That bill is all kinds of high class.
I vote we call that the "Hell of Five."

other countries do this as well... maybe with the Euro it's all become standardized though.
another benefit... blind people no longer get ripped off

Putting naked women on all bills would be a great way to promote savings and financial responsibility.

When are you luddites going to just suck it up and make your money multi-colored? Just do it. Trust me, it's fun.
1 and 2 are coins, 5 is blue, 10 is purple, 20 is green, 50 is red, and 100 is beyond my bracket.
Get behind this standard, and then we can talk.
If you can't identify a bill by its value, person, color and animal, it's not real currency.
This is what money looks like.

I remember when I could laugh about the value of Canadian money.
We can all STILL laugh at "toonies" and "loonies," even if the US dollar sits weeping in the corner...

I definitely like the colored money. What I would not like is having to stack all of money separately because it is different sizes. I don't stack coins, but more than 20 years of waiting tables, bartending, and then retail management has taught me that being able to stack money of different denominations is something would be hard to give up. Sure, for money in your wallet, it might work. But it would be a pain in the ass to manage it.
