Wow...I thought our money was already pretty good looking but these are gorgeous...except maybe the realistic portrait. A more stylized one similar to what's on our bills now might look better.
But damn...how can Americans stand to just have green?

These new ones may be harder to produce, but unless they phase out the old paper bills counterfeits will still be circulating out there.

No more of this happening when you excite a kid with a hundred... Have images of the 5/10/20 been released yet?

I actually like these new bills. Reminds me of the bill in Hong Kong. They also don't get dirty as hell like the normal bills.

IMO, having a fat stack of bills after getting a ton of paper change from the states is a moment for me.

I've seen a similar looking bill long ago in Brunei...probably like 15 years ago....I don't think that there are any counterfeiters there at all but they still had it

The only thing I like about American bills is the $1 bill. I freaking hate change.

Feels like only yesterday that the current generation of bills came out. Damn..
Australia and Vietnam had polymer bills for many years now, but the "single point light source" feature is definitely new. I'm just wondering if we will make these bills ourselves though. Some countries actually outsource their currency. |

The other thing is when you pull out a wad of american $1 bills, at first glance you look like a baller, until someone notices you have like $13.

Definitely looks cooler. Also it doesn't look like it will easily stay folded from the sound of it.
Anything made by men will inevitably be copied by other men, its just a matter of time. At least now, a suitcase of freshly printed "old" bills will stand out more than ever.

I'm looking forward to these. As for USD, I really have to make sure I'm counting out the proper bills every time. I've made the mistake once of leaving a $20 tip instead of a $5 tip.
