har har... good stuff :)

/me doesnt relish teh tought of having pink or purple money... :odd:

[Shadowblazer]

Hey, I like it. I think it's about time the tired 'ol greenbacks got a new color :D What they need to do is color them like rupees and it'll be good.

$1 = Green
$5 = Blue
$10 = Yellow
$20 = Red
$100 = Orange

Shit, we have $50's too, don't we. Is there a 50 rupee? Purple? Yeah, that sounds about right.

/me scratches his head

Well anyway, colored money would be most excellent, in my opinion. Would make it easier to quickly rifle through your wallet and see what you had too.

:eyebrow: I've been using Monopoly money since forever :P
Americans like to steal our money ideas :\

[Dr. Mutagen]

I'm not sure why, but the picture of the multicolored bills makes me hungry. It makes me think of ice cream...... or something.

[Draconis]

I think that anything that would further thwart counterfitters is a plus. I also think that the colored bills could show someone how much money one has at a glance like ShadowBlazer stated.

Either they do it in red or I don't want it.
Gawd, I don't think I could take candy colored money seriously.

SB, there is a 50 rupee and a 200 one too (black, I think).

[moocow]

Yeah... if they do this... and the $20 bill is purple... I will never use a $20 AGAIN.

Look a little closer, folks. That article is dated March 5, and the new bills are due out March 27. That's a month and three days ago.

/me stalks off, muttering.

[Kirbypuff]

The 200 rupee is silver. And I think the 500 rupee is gold.

Just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean it hasn't been printed.

Unless, of course, they cancelled the idea.

I loved the money when I went to Sydney. Opening up my wallet was a colourful experience! I enjoy dollar and two-dollar coins too...

This reminds me, about astupid lady that works at my school that collects lunch money... She doesn't even count how much money you hand her, she just shoves it in the drawer... I was broke, so I went and brought Monopoly money with me, just to see if it would work... I get my lunch, hand her the money, she shoves it in a drawer, the kids behind me noticed what I did, they were all laughing their asses off... It didn't even dawn on her... Good thing I didn't

Wait, I thought the 100 rupee was Silver and the Orange rupee was 200? I remember that an orange colored rupee in OoT was worth 200, while the silver rupee showed up in MM, being worth 100.

[plith]

In MM, silver was 100 and gold was 200. In WW, orange is 100 and silver is 200. But at least 1's, 5's, and 20's are still the same as they always have been.... Ahhhhh....


And Beldaran, I would think they'd at least have made another announcement since then if that were the case. Are there no other articles?

[MrCow]

plus i believe before there was a topic about this very same thing

[TheGeepster]

1 - Green
5 - Blue
10 - Yellow
20 - Red
50 - Purple
100 - Orange
200 - Silver
500 - Doesn't exist as far as I know.

FYI, if you don't already know (IYDAK) there is more monopoly money in the world than real.

Wouldn't the 5 doller bill be a flashing color?
