That's a little too close to actual currency for comfort. You might want to make it a lot more obvious that this is something other than a genuine $100 bill. With clueless clerks accepting $200.00 bills, somebody is going to successfully pass one of those things, and it might come back on you.

Thanks---

I thought about that. That's why they print out larger than a normal bill, have odd colors in the seals and specifically say that they are ILlegal tender and are for "uno hundred dolls" and have no official US seals.

Two of our three local grocery stores have been selling very similar looking 'bills' for non-political, joke purposes for a couple of years with no problems.

I wanted them to look close enough to get the politicians assistants to look at them closer when they opened the envelopes. If they look totally fake, then they will go in the trash without a second glance.

You may be right, but for now, I'll risk it. I may get paranoid and change them though... I've already done a version in purple.

If someone wants to pass them, they would be much more successful at it by scanning a bill and printing it out the right size without any graphics alterations. They could do it in ten minutes at the public library.

OH, If a Moderator or Administrator thinks that this is a problem, I'll be glad to remove them.

Great job LH. I agree with RC though. I'm all for sending these back to the RINOS, but they're still a little too close to the real thing.
