They are in a constant battle trying to keep counterfeiters from cheapening the currency. What do you think of the new $5 bills?

As long as they work, I'm good with it. I wouldn't care if they were pink as long as they worked as currency.

Well I still have that purple tie that I wore to my 8th grade graduation back in the late 80's. I guess I can finally start wearing that bad boy again!

I need to see these new bills up close and personal.  Would someone send me a few dozen?  Some of the old ones and some new ones--just for comparisons sake.

It always makes me feel more secure about my future when I'm using colored money.  Maybe someday I can buy Park Place or even Boardwalk!

Colored money is the one true path.

It's all part of the Canadian conspiracy, eh.

There's a new $5 bill?

Bah. Paper money is archaic. We should all have our money digitized into our internal tracking chips. Either that...or carry around giant stone coins.

Are these the ones with the mind-altering microfibers embedded in them, or just the mind-reading microfibers?

No these are the ones that allow the government to track your movements and purchases.

Please. The gov't can track every electronic purchase. I doubt they care about cash transactions of the five dollar amount.

If it's EFT, it's 3k in a given day, otherwise 10k in one day will get you on the "list." shh.gif

You have to spread your money out, don't you get it? You're not telling me all your money's in one bank I hope.
