The wavy text looks like something you'd see on sign for a old-timey dinner/show at Dollywood.

Now President Jackson on the $20 bill looks even more like Keith Richards...

Reagan's not dead yet; the law says that no one can be put on money until they've been dead for a certain period of time (I don't know how long).

Really? Or are you just joking?

I was making a joking reference to the conspiracy theorists who found the ominous pictures in the $20 bill when it is folded a certain way. For more details, check out http://www.snopes.com/rumors/20bill.htm.

Jackson fought the establishment of the Federal Reserve tooth and nail. They put his face on the $20 not to honor him but more of a way to rub it in.

Good one, brilliant observation.

Well, JFK was killed 11/22/63 and his portrait appeared on the half dollar beginning in 1964.

I think they should have asked Registered to redesign the $20, he would have done a great job.

They should put the $10 on the twenty dollar bill. That would be the true value after taxes.

Funny, considering it's the exact same portrait of Andrew Jackson that's been on the $20 for about 7 years now.

Been in a coma long?

Didn't they make him look a little less like a pooftah?
