Our new $100 bill is butt ugly

[DonRedwood]

Grrrrrrr.... our money could be a work of art...instead it is a High School Marketing Project gone wrong.

My grade? F-.

Imagine what it could be....


(and each bill a different size so blind people can tell them apart...that would be nice too).

1. Ben looks pretty pissed off about it, too.

2. It's only money..

3. I'll probably never see one so who cares

[kentauros]

4. Whose banknotes are the color ones?

They remind me of what NZ uses, though they went a step further and made them out of a kind of plastic paper:

18. Colored ones up in the OP are: EURO the currency used by the Institutions of the European Union

5. What is that gold thing?

A spittoon or a piss bucket?

7. It's supposed to be an inkwell.

The quill pen at first looked like a sperm whale to me but then I figured it out with the mention of the inkwell on another thread.

9. I think a printing press would be more appropriate for Franklin

[kentauros]

12. Yes, though I think the script in the background represents the Constitution.

Maybe a postage stamp or a library book would have been better, as both represent things the GOP would like to drown...

16. Declaration of Independence. nt

[kentauros]

19. Okay, thanks.

I knew he wrote one of them

[msanthrope]

15. It's got a color-shifting Liberty Bell in it...it's pretty cool. nt

[msanthrope]

14. An inkwell with the Liberty Bell that changes from copper to green when you move it. nt

6. American money should have guns and phallic symbols on it.

[hatrack]

11. And flames! Lots and lots of hot-looking FLAMES!

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[GaYellowDawg]

8. I doubt I'll be carrying them around.

I say make the larger denominations PAINFUL to look at!

[Buns_of_Fire]

10. So THAT'S what a $100 bill looks like! nt

13. I'm waiting for him to roll his eyes.

Our money is starting to look cheaper and cheaper and crappier and crappier. I still don't like the last re-designed money. This looks even worse. Pretty soon, it is going to be hard to tell the different between a cheap knockoff of Monopoly money and our money.

And have you noticed how the people on our money keep getting moved further and further off center? Pretty soon, we'll only see their wigs and maybe their eyes and nose as they struggle to stay on the bills. Then again, it is fitting if you think about it. Our government seems to care less and less what the founding fathers wanted for this country. Each year they seem to throw more and more of the Constitution and Bill of Rights out the window. Naturally, they would slowly take the people off our money too. Soon, our money will have crowns of thorns, crosses, AK-47s, and the Wal Mart logo. I wonder which one will be on which bill. I am pretty sure the Wal Mart logo will be on the one (to represent the cheap goods they sell) and the cross will be on the 100, but how will they decide where the crown of thorns and the AK-47 will be?

17. I'll take a couple hundred off your hands if you don't like 'em! For free!(n/m)

20. I don't care about the paint job!

It is a $100 dollar bill!

[applegrove]

21. We have a new $20 in Canada. It is plastic and see through. Ug!
