If Tim Geitner’s signature is on it, it won’t be worth any where near $100.
New C-Note...It is worth 50 bucks.
The last time the treasury rolled out “new money”, you know the 10’s, 20’s 50’s and 100’s, the reason was because it would be more difficult to counterfeit these new bills.
Within weeks, there was a story out about these new bills were now much easier to counterfeit and warnings about bogus 100’s that were out there.
Your government at work.
Once hyper inflation causes them to outlaw gold ownership again we’re going to have to carry these around instead.
Yes, but they’re going to cost you $200;)
What’s that chamber pot doing on the $100 bill?
The bill should change numbers with time release printing. After 6 months it changes to 1,000 12 months 10,000 etc. We could save on printing costs.
I have the full set: 100 billion, 1 trillion, 50 trillion, and 100 trillion. And I keep a 500 million dollar note in my wallet, it’s a great conversation piece!
It is there to demonstrate exactly where our economy is headed.
It will have Obama’s Islamic crescent like
everything else in America now.
Darn Iranians...
LOLOL!!
What state do you live in? Every sales tax I've seen rounds up. My local 7% sales tax is 7¢ for a $1 purchase, but is 8¢ for a $1.01 purchase.
Other than that I generally like the idea. There's no real reason to change the size of the dime from the current one. The old 1:2.5:5 ratio of the weights of the dime, quarter and half dollar (and up to 10 for the old Eisenhower dollar coin) are a left over from when the coins were made of silver so the weight had to be proportional to face value, so there is no real reason to hold on to them. You might want to play with the edges so the coins are easy to identify by feel.
The best description of how to set the coin/bill break is that lunch should be purchased with a couple of coins. That sets the top coin value at $5 with bills starting at $10. Don't overlap the top coin and bottom bill or else one or the other will be generally unused, like our current dollar coins.
Given that the Fed seem to have adopted a policy of inflating the money supply as fast as is humanly possible, I don’t see why they don’t simply suspend the laws against counterfeiting, and allow everyone to print off their own currency.
My guess is it will be just as valuable as what the Fed has been printing, if we keep doing what we are doing for another year or so.
Waiting for Ubumbu The Magnificent (PBUH) to give another speech and refill it.
Maybe they removed the owl?
weird
"Weird" is right...
I just tried looking for a simple picture of the new bill, showing both the front and the back.
Being a fairly normal person, I naturally thought that the best place to look would be the Bureau of Printing and Engraving website where they actually come up with new designs for our money...
WRONG....
Cripes... all they have there is some WEIRD computer animation showing the new $100 twisting and undulating in some kind of semi-pornographic rhythm.
All I could think of was that some overpaid goobermint webdesigner must think he's gonna win some kind of Oscar or Emmy for his "artistic" efforts.
But I swear... I STILL don't have a good idea what the damn thing actually looks like. LOL!
But at least you get to use the word “undulating”
still images are “unavailable”
the website crashed?
