New US $20 bills Released, Colors & Layout Change

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the when-piracy-really-matters dept.

JayBonci writes "CNN is running a story with the newest advances in the original copy-protection arms race, a new US $20 dollar bill. From the article, specifically color and different number arrangements as an improvement over 1996's "Big Face" dollar bills." Little off the norm for Slashdot, but it's interesting since computers have vastly simplified forgery.

    The problem is that the Euro is now worth more than a US$.(As of now, 1 Euro is $1.15, it was $0.89 on January 1, 2002 )

    The administration is currently hijacking the Iraqi oil in an attempt to stop this trend, but it doesn't look good in the long run. The occupation costs, and long term ill-will that results from Pax Americana will eventually take us out, in a similar manner to that of the Romans, who's history we seem to want to repeat.
