We're working on it. It's my understanding that there's a complicated plan, developed by a large team of highly-paid governmental officials, to fund the redesign of US currency by developing a method to monetize the savings in typing time and costs associated with both printing and electronic data transmission of not using all those extra letters you folks use in words like color...and traveler.![]()
Haha... you guys are such good neighbours that we'll even throw in some portraits of Queen E to put on those colourful new notes...neuroanatomist said:traveller said:Surely a country as rich as the USA can afford colour printing? The US dollar looks like a third world currency!

Of course the US could always hire Securency to create plastic bank notes like we have down under, and get a huge scandal and allegations of bribery and corruption for free.
(Google "securency scandal".)

LOL. We had some good times when many states contracted with Diebold (the folks who make ATM machines including the new ones that take straight cash, no enclosing envelope, for deposits - and seem to miscount the money pretty often) to make the electronic voting machines for elections.
Google "Diebold voting scandal" or, if you prefer, "Hack the vote."

On a completely unrelated note, I'm trying to sell some real estate I recently renovated. It's a very nice bridge in Brooklyn. I just repainted it. $1 million and it's yours.
thanks again. just because you have the money, doesn't mean you need to show it off. OP is a major A$$h**e.fifthblade said:rhysgray said:WOW-YOU ARE A MASSIVE TWAT.
Thanks for saying what I suspect most of us were thinking.
