<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 868763, member: 19065&quot;]The mob rules with pitchforks and torches instead of speaking up in advance of these new Series rolling out. Just <i>think</i> of the beauty our currency would bestow if only the mob-mentality were to do something useful to benefit our currency in a positive manner rather than berate it at their earliest opportunity. </p><p><br /></p><p>I gather from everyone&#039;s logic here, that you would have sooner burnt all the <i>watermelons</i>, <i>guardians</i> and C notes of past Series upon your immediate review of those notes, and likely to the detriment of any history of US currency which most seem so nostalgic for yet were not present when originally put into circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I serious do not see that much difference in the &#039;busy&#039; design of today&#039;s unveiled note nor the other current circulating notes to that of the <i>ornate busy</i> designs of yesteryear. Aesthetics are one thing that you can wage against, but innovation and technological advancement are also part of the equation, as is a keen focus on protecting our currency from fraud. Beauty is skin deep, in this case a few fibers but there lies far much more than a visual representation here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Implying that a national symbol is sidling up to the look of the Euro is ridiculous although presenting to the world a design that is in step with global design standards is certainly responsible. It is certainly intelligent to present a currency that is identifiable from that of other nations and one which people will react to and choose to utilize with faith that it does what it says it does, tender itself for all debts, public and private. </p><p><br /></p><p>The advancements in production hurdles in order to bring a thing of the past, paper money, with an established look and FEEL of traditional paper money into the contemporary time frame of credit cards and virtual money, involves incredible design prowess that is ages beyond the crude commentary this forum is expressing towards the new Series on it&#039;s first public appearance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do take the time to do more than fire cheap shots at our new Series 2009 $100 note.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
