Seriously though Jackie, isn't the U.S. supposed to start putting colours in their bills in the near future?

Actually, I think it would be excellent if the U.S. changed its bills significantly; NZ's are really cool--they have these little plastic inserts:

Of course, the time is likely coming eventually when we won't even HAVE actual money.
Yup, that's our Ed. One of very few living non Heads of State on money. Course, he's well over 80, so the adjective in the previous sentence may not apply for much longer. Ausiie money's got even more plastic in it than ours, though, iirc. Oh, and here in Zild, cash is pretty much a relic anyway. EFTPOS and Internet banking have seen to that. Now that more places accept payment by mobile phones, the demise of the folding stuff looks to be pickinh up speed.

The colored $20's came out in 2003 http://www.moneyfactory.gov/newmoney/main.cfm/currency/new20, the 50's in 2004, and the 10's will be out in March. The 100 is supposed to be colored but it has not been announced when. There are no plans in the works to redo 5's, 2's or 1's.

From the article: ....subtle green, peach and blue to both sides of the note.
I wonder why they decided to go so subtle? The colour is not very noticeable.

Gee, if our money is in any way unsatisfactory, you can just send it on to me and I'll dispose of it for you.

Edit: I deleted my post. There was no love in it.
But let me just say, the question you've raised, dear thread starter, is a worthy and interesting one.
I intend to give it serious thought before replying, as I was latterly wont to do, with some off the cuff criticism.
That's what I love about AWADtalk! So many divers topics for us to discuss!
XOX.
