Bureau of Engraving and Printing Issues New US$20

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday October 9, 2003 @12:26AM from the legal-tender dept.

jea6 writes "Hot off the Western Currency Facility presses in Fort Worth! The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is issuing the new US$20 note to banks today. The newly redesigned Series 2004 $20 notes have background colors (so long, greenbacks) and improved security features. Ask your bank to send a few your way. Unlike the U.S Mint's "Golden Dollar", these notes will be issued to replace the Series 2001 note. Look for a redesigned Grant in 2004 and a new Benjamin in 2005. The US Government is spending $53,000,000 over the next 5 years to make sure everybody knows that this is a real note, so go get acquainted with one."

The colour of the Dubya, Cheney and Rumsfeld bills would be yellow then I guess, since they all escaped military deployment through their connections.
