5. Look at the eagle.

I had an article on DU a while back on this. Read it here.

The fact that the eagle is holding the arrows in its right talon, the position of honor, means that the U.S. now holds war in higher esteem than it does peace.

Nice of Bush to advertise it to the world, in case no one figured it out from Iraq.

7. It's just inverted

The eagle is still looking to the side with the leaves. So the eagle has just been flipped over. Another little security thing, some counterfeiters may fail to notice the eagle has been flipped and print it wrong.

8. mysterious double post

6. Gee, other nations have been multicolor for years - gee, I wonder why?

</sarcasm>

It's too easy to be cynical here, especially when they did something right for a change. So I will be, what else can you come to expect from me? :D

But even then, they're still a dull bunch of smegheads. Death green and peach puke? :eyes: Yet alone the corpse grey eagle holding the olive branch? (the other side must have a pic of an angry bright red eagle clutching the arrows with the neo-con nazi emblem covering its chest...) Not to forget the urine yellow of "20".

The whole design looks off-kilter. It's probably why the same design won't be repeated on 1s, 5s, 10s, and 50s bills...

Andrew Jackson looks like he's stoned, too.

And best of all: look at the wavy lines saying "TWENTY USA" and "USA TWENTY". This appearance of the bill is so ludicrous, using the groovy '60s Laugh-In font would have only IMPROVED on the design...

Will the word "specimen" remain on the bill? Will we see this specimen in a lab next to the vials of squirrel semen for testing? Whazzup?!

When I get my first twenty, I'm not spending it. Instead, I'm going to scribble sarcastic remarks all over it ("puke peach", "corpse grey while appropriately holding the olive branch", "urine yellow", "Use Laugh-In font here", and so on.) Whether or not I ultimately spend it afterwards is another issue, but it would probably generate a laugh at least...

On edit: Hey yeah, look at the corpse grey eagle and its facial position: That eagle looks like it had its bird-doo forcibly stuffed back up its rectal region or something. That or it's utterly paranoid of something... Probably glanced at Laura Bush, which is why it turned corpse grey...
