Comments on By the Way
Gee, thanks ever so much for that wonderful, thoughtful, enlightening post.
Wha-what?
I agree.
That's anti-American, Mr. Frizzelle.
Hmmm... usually when you make such a strong declarative statement, you provide proof (like, say, a link to what the new 5 looks like) or maybe a brief explanation of WHY it is bullshit.
Just a thought
purple is for eggplant and tinkywinky
Why? Because it's only worth 3 Euros?
I agree with #1 and 5, but props for not phrasing this in the form of an "open letter to the new $5 bill."
Yeah, whatever.
Take them to Europe, and see how many Euros or Pounds you get for these things.
It's not bullshit, it's toilet paper.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Better yet:

It is a little ridiculous-looking. Especially the giant purple 5 on the back.
I don't understand it, either.
In every new version, Abe Lincoln gets slobbier and slobbier and slobbier.
In fact, in this latest, you'd think he didn't know how to tie a bowtie at all.
Is this some sort of anti-Lincoln conspiracy by the Bureau of Printing and Engraving?
the laundry machines in my building take smart cards and the machine only takes fives. that is what is fucking lame. i can't even put like $20 on the card, i have to find a stupid 5.
What's the beef?
The old bills are all the same color and all the same size so it's hard for a fully sighted person to tell how much you have and what you are tendering without looking carefully.
If you have partial sight or are blind you're just SOL.
The new bills don't go nearly far enough in making them more usable by the entire population.
Are Americans really such whiners about such a small amount of change?
No wonder Barry Obama is always going on about needing more of it.

I think it looks great. About time they changed it. I wish they'd changed it more.
I say put the big purple number in ALL the corners, why should the blind have to peek around for the right corner.
Keep the portraits though, Hamilton is yummy and Lincoln, well he's the greatest president.
"You can call me Aaron Burr by the way I'm dropping Hamiltons."
Sorry, this is about the five, mea culpa.
14 has it right. What a pack of conservative whiners! No wonder America's lefties are everyone else's ultra conservatives.
Good thing the Supreme Court looks like interpreting the second amendment as an individual right. Everyone is going to need their guns for the uprising that will happen when the evil government decides to eradicate pennies.
Paper money is so dated. We should just replace it with a 2 Euro coin.
@12, i think he looks more relaxed.
Just wait till they roll out the Ameros.
Natos.
Well, maybe they'll put Washington in a turtleneck for the redesigned One, if that's what they're aiming for....
US money is getting gayer by the minute.
I kinda like it, even if counterfeiters will have the snappy new multicolored bills figured out quicker than campaign consultants learn how to game new rules...
I'll give you $5 for...an enormous penis!!!
Stop being piggy @25 - you already have one. Have/are? Whatever.
