Would you like fries with that order, sir?

For my part, that should've read: "They're actually going ahead with the $10 and $5 banknote update too?"

I'll finally answer your question:

Yes, eventually *all* USA banknotes -- except $1 and $2 notes -- will contain some hue on the front side other than green & white. It will be stretched out at least as long (likely longer) than the last exercise.

Yes, eventually *all* USA banknotes -- except $1 and $2 notes -- will contain some predominate hue on the front side other than green & white. The switchover to the new generation paper currency will be stretched out at least as long (likely longer) than the last exercise.

Isn't the $20 banknote the first to be released in this NexGen project next year?

I don't believe that's been announced yet. If I were to be which one would be first, it might start off with the $100, then the $50, then the $20, etc.

 

[iGary]

I just now accidentally ran across what I was talking about a while back...

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The federal government will unveil a new $20 bill that will introduce a predominant but subtle color into the background, marking the first time in modern history that a U.S. bill will feature a color other than green...

Thanks for the link iGary. Since the new $20.00 bill has been unveiled, does anyone know exactly what it looks like? I couldn't find a sample at the BEP yet, just the current 1996 run.

Are the Aussie notes the ones that are made out of vinyl?

I couldn't find anything either. The only thing Google turned up was pages saying that the changes would be announced on March 27.

 

[Howell]

FMoreI, http://www.bep.treas.gov/newmoney/main.cfm/media/releases
no pictures.

 

[Buck]

But Howell, we want pictures!

 

[Howell]

Yes, well we don't always get what we want when we want it. On the BEP site you can sign up for an email notice when there is "movment". I'll keep you apprised.

 

[Buck]

Thank you kind sir.

 

[iGary]

I'm pretty sure that the hues portrayed in pictures of the banknotes below is someone's joke over at CNN (i.e. -- Monopoly money).

That was my assumption too.

 

[Howell]

The Bureau of Engraving hasn't said what color it will choose for the new $20, but think of the possibilities.

:lol:

 

[mubs]

The pastels for currency notes would make it look like Monopoly money! Yuck.

Pastels in general make me want to vomit.

 

[time]

Are the Aussie notes the ones that are made out of vinyl?

Yes. They actually have a transparent 'window'. Kind of hard to counterfeit.

 

[Buck]

I need a sample of these aussie notes. Time, could you send me a few?

 

[Buck]

A descripton of these polymer based notes can be found at the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

 

[time]

Certainly Buck!

Is that enough? :mrgrn:

 

[Bartender]

Indeed Time. It serves Buck right, asking for free handouts like that. You should see the tab he's accumulated here at the bar - always asking for something free.

The Department of The Treasury And The Federal Reserve System Announce "The New Color of Money: Safer. Smarter. More Secure."

On May 13, 2003 The Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System will unveil a new design and updated security features for the $20 bill that will be issued in late 2003. Because counterfeiters are turning increasingly to digital methods, and as advances in technology make digital counterfeiting easier and cheaper, the government is staying ahead of counterfeiters by updating the currency every 7-10 years.

The new $20 notes will be safer, smarter and more secure currency: safer because they will be harder to fake and easier to check; smarter to stay ahead of tech-savvy counterfeiters; more secure to protect the integrity of the U.S. currency.

Be sure to visit our campaign Web site at www.moneyfactory.com/newmoney/ on the 13th to see the redesigned currency and learn more about the New Color of Money.

PS. It's a good thing we have a search feature or I'd never find any old discussions.

 

[GIANT]

...Safer. Smarter. More Secure.

Smarter? Hmmmm.... Either Andrew Jackson's eyes will "come alive" for novelty purposes, or there will be tracking features in each note.

Of course, neither of these indicate any sort of real "intelligence," unless they are talking about intelligence as in data collection.
Now, what if "new cash registers" could talk back to the central bank(s) and check to see if a note is possibly counterfeit???

But, then again, maybe their PR person is just an idiot that thought a third point was really needed to somehow balance out the description of this new currency.

what's with the small yellow 20's on the bill's reverse?

The flash animation of the yellow 20s made me think of the Joker's costume from the Adam West Batman TV show. Dunno why. Maybe the same font.

 

[Bartender]

I like the new colored currency.
