Why don't we just cut to the chase and letCoke & Pepsi bid for the ad space?
Someone remind me what country this is. Every time we take another shift towards day-glo money I'm reminded of how the more garish the make-up the cheaper the whore.
This is the new $10 bill set to debut in the spring.
Yes, yes, I know it's intended to thwart counterfeiters, but they're highly adaptable.
I don't know. Maybe it's the red and orange.

In fact, if you want to see the sort of thing the USGov ought to be aiming for in terms of style of presentation, I recommend this URL to you:

Take a look and see if that isn't the sort of thing you want to see your government aiming towards.
It's not a huge deal, and we'll take it in stride, but I prefer money that feels more dignified. It's something that'll disappear in a generation, I know, but to people roughly my age and up when we see bright colors on money we think of play money from board games.
I really do like the designs on the current editions on several levels, to be quite honest. This will, of course, be the third design family for paper currency I've had in my hands over the course of my life to date, but I have to admit that I get a thrill, particularly from the designs for the backs of the C$5 and C$10 bills.
Any scene of people playing hockey will cause my eyes to glaze. I shudder to think of a similar turn down here, with baseball or football players on the back of a bill.
I'm glad they explained the peacekeeper on the back of the $10C note, though, as I would have wondered why they were commemorating bird watchers. In Flanders Field might have been a better touch if they'd found the space for all three verses, instead of just the first, with the French version set below it. Beyond that, much depends upon whether one feels the line-holding action at Ypres was an heroic action or a pointless waste of human life. Tilting it this way and that, of course, it can be seen as both. Too many Old World generals unfamiliar with new technology threw away thousands of lives in a war game played as if it were decades or even centuries earlier.
The US 20- and 100- dollar bills have been favorite targets for years.
