I like the stars around Lincoln's potrait.
The purple 5 is different. I have to see that in person first to make a decision if I find it aesthetically pleasing or not.

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

BAHAHAHAHA hysterical.gif I MUST be blind! I didn't notice the big purple 5 until I saw the reverse a few times... Low vision 5 - psh...

I kinda like the rest of the design changes though.

Why didn't they just put a giant purple 5 on a sheet of paper with a security thread and be done with it? I hate modern US currency...

at least it doesn't look like a casino token

This would be a lot harder to counterfeit, for one thing it is made of polymer and not paper:



The thing is with the BEP is that they do a little too little too late. For one thing they are always reactive in their approach to security, not proactive.

I like the new $5.00. I'll fetch one home when they're available.

Hmm, I do not really like it. The US paper money has a very "traditional" or "old fashioned" look. Whether one likes that or not is a different issue, but this big 5 is an element that does in my opinion not match very well.

It would be nice if US paper money could even join the 20th century, let alone the 21st. But I don't want it to look like Euros either.
