    Is the pink money, strictly reserved for women ?

    Hell, the way they spend money, they might as well have their own currency...





    However, I firmly believe that credit cards were invented for women...

    Wait, I thought they were just going to colorize the money (as in just one design), not just change the green color to blue, yellow, pink, etc. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />



    Seriously, why have 5 or 6 different colors of $20 bills? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

    I hope the colors are more subtle than the photo illustration. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

    I think so. This illustration is just a lame attempt by a lame graphic designer (no, I'm not bitter that lame GDs are getting jobs instead of me... )



    I'm sure that it'll be a lot more subtle...

    But... it looks so... European!



    Well, with any luck, Andrew Jackson won't look quite so much like a young Keith Richards after this...

    It says the colour is to prevent counterfitters... surely if they can print green money they can print orange!



    We have notes of different colours and sizes here (UK). They're useful because in a dark club you don't have to squint to see the numbers as much. And it's next to impossible to pass one note off as another, since they're all quite different.
