    We could use more colorful money. That gray and dull green is pretty boring.
    People say money ought to look serious, but, well, those people all suck. :p

    I think they should sack Jackson on the $20, he always hated the idea of 'paper money' anyway (actually, when he was president he attacked the bank system of the time, favoring simple usage of precious metals rather than bank notes)... instead, they should use Fred Ward, because he looks like a president. And by gummit, he should be the president. Maybe he'll run in the recall election, at least.

    I don't care what color my $20 is, as long as I've got it.

    The redesign is nice, though. I like it.

    Wait... It's colored money but it looks... tasteful!

    Still, it doesn't change the fact that it's a baseless piece of paper which, at best, is a representative of some phantom standard that apparently has dramatically increasing quantity. Sort of like the RIAA's supply of boy-bands and the $25 dollar CDs they churn out which are really worth less than half that, even to cover shipping, handling, and store markup.

    I don't like it. Jackson looks like a hunchback in it (no offense.)
    If this is their idea of more colorful money, it sucks.
    Very bad specimen.

    Strange.. he sorta does have a hump on his back. Maybe it was an artist gone mad selectee....

    I do like the idea though.. the less copyable they are, the more valuable the money is. A lot of people don't see that, i guess.

    I agree that they should get rid of Andrew Jackson... he is only significant because he held office for 8 years at a time of massive change in the US, particularly in communications between the states, as well as brisk expansion westward. He also broke with the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of a suit filed on behalf of the native Americans in south, by simply stating that the high court uphold it themselves, and thereby helping to initiate the trail of tears.. the details of which I'm not horribly familiar with, but it essentially evicted several tribes from the areas making up Georgia and Mississippi, and forced to relocate to Oklahoma. During this time the people being led on a forced march were deprived of their possessions.

    No, I dare say we not keep this monster on the 20... there are worse presidents sure, but I think we could at least find a president whose tenure was more benign than anything.
