Last time they issued the new $100, it was actually easier to counterfeit than the old one. So here we go again, redesigning the 100 to make it harder to counterfeit. BS. Make work crap. How much did it cost the treasury (our tax money) to do both redesigns? And has anyone noticed that our currency is starting to look a lot like Mexican bills? The oversized pictures of the old dead white guys looking off into the distance. Also looks like the pose from all the soviet inspired obama posters. I am holding on to a couple of the old bills with the small pictures to show my kids what real money used to look like.

Coming soon...

Incidentally, if you want to show your kids what real (redeemable in precious metals) money looked like, try to procure some old gold and silver certificates.
