I have not posted my opinion concerning the new note, however in reading through the threads there seems to be a lot of bickering , in which I want no part of. I'll keep my opinion to myself until I see the bill in circulation.
I agree with ozarktravler, I would want to see this note in hand before I pass judgment. Things look so different in person than they do on line, in photographs and in the mind's eye from descriptions. I'm taking the same approach to the new one cent piece as well.
