The US$5 is
getting a makeover.
BARF! Once again the
U.S. Mint
U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing
has totally blown the chance to really revolutionize the money and
make counterfeiters scramble. ((Not that I think US$5
counterfeiting is rampant, I’m more concerned with the
superdollars that are
out there.)) Really, look at other nation’s currency. They are more
durable. It’s easier to discern denominations on sight because of
color and size differences. ((Although the color additions to the
new U.S. notes is a big help to those of us without sight
problems.)) Most places have abandoned low value bills because they
wear out too fast and I’m really surprised the U.S. hasn’t. With
the new US$5 bill the changes seem as if they’re done by committee.
Hire some real designers, make radical changes, and screw corporate
interests that fight you because of new bill sizes and styles and
materials. You work for the People, not the corporations.
