So the new $20 bills come out today. Featuring a wonderful peach color no less. It's only a matter of time until our currency catches up to the rest of the world -- different colors and sizes. Austrailia even prints their money on plastic, and have cool features like see-through windows on their currency.

And being a fat white guy afraid of change, I don't like them. They're too colorful and look like play money, instead of actual currency. And I hope we never get different sizes for each demonimation- they wouldn't all fold up nice and neat into a money clip to stick in my pocket.
And what's with the treasury having a .com address. I didn't trust it as being legit until I typed in the .gov address and got redirected.
Meh. I'm bitter.
