UGLY.[/DIV]The u.s. currency down right sucks. They are finally moving the protrait over a bit, but to make real change they need to blow the picture up bigger and move it completely to one side. ala the rest of the world. Next they need to stop with the monuments its boring. I actually like it that Canada has people playing hockey on there money. Bottomline get rid of the green, we live in coloured world, yes coloured! Time for a change.

US money is the most boring on the planet. I love Canadian money, especially the 20. Why don't we get poetry, americana, Native American imagery, and so on? Just a bunch of lame buildings and cryptic BS.
...religion has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in the early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle ecplipses with such care that in time they were able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others

they need to get rid of the treasury and bring back the american bison to put on the back of the 10.

P.C.

Looks a little similar to the old ten. (on the other hand, I don't get those lovely American dollars in my hands enought, to know for sure)

The best bill I've ever seen, was a bill my dad used to have....don't remember from where, but there was a 'crest' in the middle, that appeared to be 'empty'.  But upon holding it up to the light, was a lithophane type image of 'a' queen.  It was very cool.
Sir Isaac Newton invented the swinging door....for the convenience of his cat.

This is how to do bills people. See the colour come out and the faces are huge, makes the country it represents proud in my opinion. I don't believe in nationalism (as most of you know) but when it comes to money its the most important 'national' symbol you can have. I read Canadians always complain that they don't really have a culture but the only thing that can bring a country together in a sense 'yeah this is canadian' is A) your flag (coolest in the world next to the GB)  B) Hockey C) Your currency

 This is how to do money in my opinion.

See how the pictures come out at you, they show emotion and they give me goose bumps and I'm not canadian. I talk to Americans all the time who have been to Canada and they are jealous of two things A) your ideals B) Your money rocks

European money is cool too.

The Euro's are a little plain considering Europe's last history they decided on no faces.[/DIV]But its a place the u.s. currency could go but of course won't.

I love the 50 and the picture of William Lyon Mackenzie King on it. It looks like he's literally talking to you.
