I feel a bit like Steve Martin but it’s true… [The new 20’s are here! The new 20’s are here!](http://money.cnn.com/2003/05/13/news/economy/twenty/) I just got back from a cash machine and at first I though it gave me some waterstained bills. Stupid machine. Wait… no, stupid me. Personally, I think they’re pretty cool. The old green and black was pretty boring. My new cash seems kinda… happy. ---

That’s what I thought when I first saw the new 20’s for the first time. I almost cried they were so pretty. 🙂 CJ ---

I think they’re cool too. Exept for the hundreds of little 20s on the back. ---

_Here’s a tip for a Chocolate Jesus Please [take a quick peek inside](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=3407287#post3407287) 'Cause that .sig of yours, Chocolate Jesus Is longer than it is wide_ 😉 Uh, I guess that’s pretty colourful-- for greenbacks. Kind of a contradiction in terms, though-- like psychedelic tweed. ---

Hah. We Canadians get beautiful multicolored currency, while you call green and yellow an improvement. ---

I thought **lieu** had managed to stuff Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat down his pants. I am sorely disappointed. ---

I wish they’d go and make the money REALLY colorful. The new ones are all right, but it’s not all THAT impressive. I’m with **Gadfly** on this. They have neat looking money. (I also want a dollar coin that people actually spends, and if that means ditching the bill, so be it!)
