Just a thought, the color scheme on the new US bills is kind of curious, ![](http://bitsandpieces.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/imagesthe-color-of-money_thumb.jpg)

Except it's a Motown written song. Co-written by Berry Gordy.

Agreed, the money thing is oddly suspicious, but the Avatar is just odd.

With the growth of the money supply being what it is lately...it is probably appropriate to color it the same as monopoly money.

Indian money is a different size for each denomination. This is so people with poor eyesight can tell the difference. And the larger bills are worth more so simply cutting large bills down will only make them worth less.
When the US bills were being redesigned there was a lot of lobbying from assorted groups for the blind (Todd may be able to confirm this or shoot it down) requesting that we do the same and vary the size of bills. The gov refused and just made one of the numbers larger so it would be easier to read. They said it would cost too much money to retrofit all the money counting and sorting and vending machines if they changed the size.

According to the treasury, $5 - purple $10 - orange, yellow and red $20 - green, peach and blue $50 - blue and red $100 - pale blue So the bills have multiple colors on them so they can work with different games I guess. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

I'm addicted to Monopoly on the Wii. I can't stop playing the stupid game. And I found out that the the AI/ computer players are real people inside the box. They're mean and stingy.

If BofA gets away with it, they'll all do it. CUs will be last but they'll get around to it unless something changes. I wonder how long I'll have a free checking account and free bill paying.

The GREAT news is that the new money will still buy you a tiny, plastic, green house.

But that's a good thing. It's important for the banks to make as large a profit as they can with no interference. Why do you expect something for free? Socialist! ;D

Socialist! ;D Because I'm an idiot who played by all the rules, paid my bills on time and retired debt free with what should have been enough net worth to sustain us for 20 years only to see the rules changed so that my cost of living would double in the past few years while those folks who didn't bust their asses for 40 years can have their debts forgiven at my expense.
