That certainly would be an improvement. Forget "dead presidents", gimme dem "screaming aliens".

Also, I don't much mind the new $20. More effective to fake fivers in bulk anyway, and nobody looks at 'em so as long as they're more or less the right color and wrinkly nobody'll notice, knew a couple guys who started printing their own sheets off of the crappy $50 artroom printer, took months before anyone noticed and last I heard the FBI still had no clue who they were. However, when they start making dollar bills in pink and purple, I am getting the **** outta this country.

yeah, but if you need to spot something fast when it is in our wallet, different colours are better. and i forgot, is all the us money the same size or is it different there too?

I can find very few non-cool things about Japan as well, the 10000 yen note is neat looking.
So as through a glass, and darkly

Many names, but always me.

so the bills are the same color and the same size?
so if you have to slip someone a bill you'd have to look at carefully first?

Yeah, shocking isn't it? Actually having to look at money before giving it away? So identifying our bills requires recognition skills slightly beyond the kindergarten level.

Ever seen a 5 euro bill? Its so small it could pass for monopoly money. And I'm not joking!

Uhhh... you just heard it. That's the joke. "Foreign money looks like Monopoly money".

It's funny because it's true.

Well, all money in paper form is rectangular with bits printed on it, so all money everywhere looks like Monopoly money really :) Possibly because of what Monopoly money was based on which was er...... money :D

Is it just me or do they make wallets to the smallest possible dimensions? I can fit fivers in mine no problem, tenners at a pinch, but anything above that won't physically fit!

Also, can anyone tell me who the hell that woman is on £5 notes? (And no, I don't mean the Queen)
