    Default I Saw the New Sawbuck today

    For the uninitiated a "sawbuck" is a $10 bill.

    My God, are they ever orange.

    Ive already got a few at work. I have to say, I wont mistake it for a different bill.

    Im surprised. I thought they were going to replace Alexander Hamilton's image with one of Abe Vigoda.

    The good old greenback was becoming too easy to counterfit, especially with all the new computer technology out there.

    I dont care what it looks like, as long as its still worth 10 bucks.

    I got one last week. I had to look twice then thought, oh yeah the new 10's are out. The bar owner had forgotten and briefly thought I accepted a counterfeit $10. Doesn't matter to me what they look like as long as they're legit. It all spends the same.

    Coloured money is better. I can count my bills so easily- two reds= five greens= ten purples= one brown= twenty blues= fifty polar bears= one hundred ducks

    Money can be fun!

    In most countries the paper money of different denominations has clearly different colors and sizes. It is much better than the old US system in which you have to read the numbers or look closely at the pictures to tell the difference; you can count money much faster, and there are a lot fewer mistakes in paying, making change and so forth. It is really too bad that they didn't go to different size bills as long as they were reforming US currency anyway; it is a HUGE HELP to blind people and would also make life a bit easier for dancers and customers in those dark VIP rooms and other such places.
