Left pushes for "Euro-like U.S. dollar bills" for supposed aesthetic reasons

Great excuse to stick PC pictures on there, and get rid of the hated Dead White Men.

I used to be involved in passport security, and there's plenty you can do that's subtle enough to prevent fraud but keep the general 'look'.

Did you notice the CUCKOO on the details page of the last series to be released?!!? Could it be stated plainer than that, that our country is to be handed over to a hateful foreign breed of usurpers, brought up in our own nest as 'our own'???

This thought also occured to me: it's a way to diversify, or multiculturalize, the currency. I'm sure they'll cook up a rainbow-colored bill with a memorial of the Stonewall Riots on it.

What rot.

It's not only counterfeiting, there have also been issues with the fact that our bills are all the same color can cause problems for people with vision impairments. It's actually gone to the courts.

And anyway, the article in the OP is hardly serious, it sounds like some guy's silly project. I highly doubt anyone with any influence whatsoever is proposing that we stick pictures of teepees or whatever else on our money. Instead, as I said, they've been modifying the existing designs by adding new colors, watermarks, etc.

I can't imagine the multiple hells European people will have to put up with in the future thanks to our fellow sucker social-multicultural-progressives who naively undermine us at every turn.

I've no doubt I'm going to have to live through a black 007 or worse. It just all sickens me ughhhh I hope the fall and its fallout is far greater than the last and much more encompassing.

Wait, what's so great about the Masonic Fed money? Multiculturalism is like the definition of Freemasonry.

Answer the question. What's so white and European about the Fed-Masonic money?

When I was in Texas this girl asked me for a dollar, so I have one to her, then realized after the fact I had given her a 20.

Ummm...that's why we have the numbers on our bills...
