I really dont like them. They look really fake to me.

I saw one, our money is becoming less and less green.

They announced this last year during Christmas. I like it. New money is awesome. I want to see blue money.

 

[tilldoomsday]

yeah the new money looks cool. At least it doesn't look fruity with like rainbows or anything. Who said our money has to be green anyway?

I remember when the new $20 came out it looked so fake..But we've gotten used to it. I kinda like the new 10's. They look cool.

I felt one today... it felt thinner than most new bills, more plasticky. I too thought it was a fake until I held it up to the light. I wonder what neat creatures it has hidden in its borders

I am glad that the USA is updating all their currency. If you travel abroad everyone has colorful artistic money. Look at a 80s bill..looks like toilet paper.

I had to tell them at work about the new $10.. they didn't even know about it and thought it was fake when they took in the first one.

Wow, I have never seen one of those either...I guess it is interesting, but I'm not loving the whole writing underneath the United States of America text...

For those who haven't seen it yet, here is a front and back picture:

I got one of these new $10 bills the other day, it looked like someone spilled cherry Kool-Aid on it.

it seems like they didnt announce the bills very well

 

[labrocca]

it seems like they didnt announce the bills very well

I saw at least 2 news reports last week.

 

[DylanButler]

it seems like they didnt announce the bills very well

Do they have to?

 

[stscac]

it seems like they didnt announce the bills very well

Do they have to?

They should to have business accept them and not think they're counterfeit.


Anyways, they're ugly as sin

I liked the crisp, simple/regal look of the traditional US paper currency, but I understand the need to try to frustrate counterfeiters.
At least the money is still small/all the same size for the moment

I was surprised at the thickness and size compared to notes here. Ours are much larger and feel alot stronger. I guess the amount that have to be produced in the US though it wouldnt be practical to use the finest of everything.

Where does new money first start... like where does the government first dish out all this new cash too... I'm guessing big business's. Then again, I have no idea.

I saw the new $10 myself yesterday..

Now counterfeiters have a greater challenge, as I see it.. good!

I haven't seen the new $10 bill, but I know that when the 20's came out, there was a whole info packet sent out to some businesses to compare and how to tell if the bill was real or fake...and every point to look at...
