$20 bill gets a facelift

"The Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving and Printing introduced the new design, still featuring Andrew Jackson on the front but without the old circle, and a background with subtle green, "peach" and light blue hues.

Other new features include small 20s in faded yellow in the background of the back of the bill. In the background of the front of the bill is a faded bald eagle and the words "Twenty USA/USA Twenty.
"

Well wouldn't Andy just be beaming with pride? Actually I think it's about time the US government added a little color to the currency. I've always thought that currency from other countries was more attractive. I guess a prettier dollar won't buy any more than a plain dollar, but at least we're beginning to show a little bit of our artistice side. I think that's a good thing.
