Cold Hard Cash from out, a weblog by George Girton

Cold Hard Cash . . . . . oct 13 2003 — o31.dat

Shopping my way into Toys 'R' Us over the weekend, I caught sight of two supervisors engaged in serious colloquy. It turned out they were comparing the new twenty-dollar bill to the old one, and I stopped by to take a gander at the new Andrew Jackson. What's new about the new bill?

I was fortunate enough to be carrying an old one, so we could compare the features point by point. The oval framing Andrew is gone, there's a new eagle on the front, and the engraving on the back is better too. A cute touch: the previously blank space around The White House on the back is covered with little copies of the number '20'.

And the pink? It's not bad; a nice subtle touch.
