What a day this has turned out to be! First I find out that Nabisco is trying to kill us all with Trans-fat in oreos and now they are adding colored tints to our money?? Will the maddness ever end?!

Ahhhhhh, I hear that! Colored money is going to look rather funky.

I've always enjoyed coloured money

Colored money!? how weird!!! I guess we can't refer to it as "green" anymore

So will it be like monopoly money? Blue $50's, green $20's??

(Sorry cream, I'm stealing your style)

Here's a link to the USA Today article about the new USA $20.

BTW ... I really like the Australian money .. plastic bills and each a different color and size. And then there were the $2 coins...

how many times are they going to "redesign" the $20 bill???

The Euro (currency of most of Europe) is colored; it took me a long time to get used to it. It also has funky holograms and curious watermarks. I actually miss it now and am looking forward to the new 20!

First, about the oreo's. Newman's Own Organics has their own version the cookie in original, chocolate and mint. I tried them and they are better (and slight healthier) than oreo's. However, I don't recommend snarfing down the whole package. Second, about the new money. They are redesigning it to stay at least one step ahead of conterfeiters (I hope I spelled this correctly) . I am sure it will be beautiful to look at.
