Yeah, that is pretty ugly. But I guess it's good that they tried?
The "hey look, mom, I can warp text" 'USA TWENTY' in the front side right background is very lame, too.
I imagine they change it very slowly so the dumb Americans don't go "uh wait what is our money supposed to look like" and quit accepting old money, or something.
I like what Canada's done with the new series of bills. Although the story quotes are silly. It's like poetry on buses, except for money. As if you're going to get bored and read your money.
On the back of the 10, e.g., is - I think - an excerpt from 'The Sweater', a celebrated(?) oldish Quebecois story about playing hockey and such. I had to read it in early junior high or something. The excerpt's in English, and I read the story in French, so I can't be sure. Ironique.
