Get thee back to the books!
(i'm like.. 80% with my calc. I'm just rewarding myself with a little MR.
)and YUP! $100k. Transfer money between banks. (not like the episode of the simpsons when Mr. Burns has the million dollar bill.. although I know that is where most of my cultural knowledge.. other people have to be like that, too.
)and NOPE! Wilson didn't wear glasses on it, IIRC.
It was really cool to see it at the Dallas Fed, though. I love that place!
non-sequitor: I'm actually applying to be on the "student board of directors" at the Houston branch. It sounds a lot more fancy than it probably is. Waking up at some ungodly hour to be at the Houston Branch by 7:30 on a friday every month to talk econ with people... AND GET REFRESCAS? UM.. I believe the term is heeeellllllll yeessss!!!! then, in spring, I get to go to an elementary school and teach the kids economics! YESS!!!!! "Supply and Demand is like when your mom gives you cookies"
If I end up doing it, I'll be even more nerdtastical.
Do I need help with that? NO! Run away Fed, RUN AWAY!

Wonder if they'd try to have you arrested if you tried to pay with that one on, say, MacDonalds.
They've done it for less other places

I've actually seen that in Person. It was behind like a bunch of glass at the US Treasurey I believe.
I like the look of the new $10 bill (how could it really look worse ).
There are just two things I don't understand...
1) The gov. comes out with these new bills so people can't counterfeit money, but they never stop accepting the old one - why not just counterfeit the old one then? They need to make a deadline for accepting the old bills. Part of the problem is they come out with new deisgins so often that no one thinks twice of taking an old bill.
2) Why don't they just update and reveal a whole set of new bills at the same time - starting at the $1 bill and ending at the $10,000 bill (I think that is the highest). American money is ugly enough, and then they make the whole thing worse by not having all of the money match.
I swear everyone in charge of something, whether it be the US treasury or FEMA, they are just all stupid!
EDIT: Oops, the largest bill still being printed is the $100, not the $10,000

just as ugly as the one before.
I like the canadian dollars and euros much better.
I wish we had some real colors and drawings of some decent landmarks on the back (the treasury? come on)

In terms of old bills: the majority of cashiers are trained that if they recieve a lot of crisp old-style bills the need to call to get them checked under a UV light. It is highly improbable that there are many new-old ones out there, so it is suspicious when people pay with them or take a bunch to the bank.
Also, the reason all the bills aren't updated is because it is a very difficult process to create the new die for the bills. In addition, if everyone was suddenly swamped with new bills, some cashiers and other people dealing with money would get too confused. Its a big deal to update a little bit of currency because automated money counters, bill changer machines and who know wha the heck else needs to be updated.
Ones will never be updated... even though there was a design released for the "big head" ones. All the vending machine companies essentially said that they wouldn't accept bills anymore if the $1 bill design was changed since it would be OODLES more work to update it.
Why is the $100 taking so long? Some are speculating that it could be because they are going for an entirely new style manufacture. AKA: Plastic/polymer (whatever) money just like the Australians.
The $500 bill will never be reintroduced nor redesigned. For some reason we just don't like bills that large. Though it is the perfect bill for purchasing a Mac mini.
The $2 bill is not (in the short-term) being redesigned, even though I want it to be, because as mentioned before it is expensive to change the dies and carve new ones, so we are stuck with what we've got since there is not enough demand for it.
There was a reprinting of the two in 1976 (with the Delcaration of Independence on the back) another in 1995 and another in 2003/2004. Start using them, guys!

I like the colour in our Canadian bills, but hate the loonie (one dollar coin) and the toonie (two dollar coin) - which replaced the one dollar and two dollar bills. now they're talking (more than half seriously) about replacing the five dollar bill with a larger coin.
Frig. I go through wallets like nothing. Can you imagine giving someone a $20 at the store and buying something for $5, and getting a $5 coin, 4 toonies and 2 loonies back.
I like American Money - it gives you a bit of a history lesson as you use it and they don't have so many damn coins.

Hehe, during Fed Challenge/economics yesterday, someone was reading an article about the Forex market, and the "Canadia Loonie" came up. I was the only one that knew what it really meant.
After I explained it, we laughed ourselves silly.
john:"Canadian money has a funny name"
kt: and an even more hilarious exchange rate!
Don't worry, I still love ya, canada.
fartheststar said:
I like them. I remember in high school (in the states) everyone fighting with the vending machine to take there dollar bills. In Canada you just put your coins in.
Not to mention my spare change jar is worth a whole lot more because of those loonies and toonies.
I feel so sorry for some of those people who might actually have to work. And if it's a money issue - those companies have it. I want my new $1 bill!
Actually, that was a trillion dollar bill. Simpsons rule...katie ta achoo said:
Whoever said let's get rid of pennies, I wholeheartedly agree. Those little buggers are worthless and just fill up your pockets. I suppose I shouldn't say that, as I live in Arizona and copper is one of our chief exports, but what the heck. We could start making nickles out of copper. But then we'd have to change their name to "coppers"...
