Not sure if you are being clever or not but the link seems to be working for me.

Weird, not for me. Just went to the base URL and it works.

Link worked for me. Crazy stuff they think of. They will be counterfeited soon enough.

They're just trying to shut out the other counterfeiters . . .

Looks too much like the euro for my tastes. Iran and other governments will soon be able to counterfit this one too. It will make it more difficult for those who don't have government resources to counterfit.

I don't see how this would prevent counterfeit. If I pull out a $100 bill from the 90s no one is going to turn it down. So if the counterfeit machines are 10 years out of date, who cares?

Actually bills cycle out of circulation and eventually are no longer accepted. They also don't hold up for all that long. They'll look weird compared to commonly passed currency and the receiver may simply not accept them at some point.

I just want to be able to use any currency for any transaction, including gold/silver straight across, no barbaric legal tender laws. :pot_stir:

That'll be 1.50 for that soda.

Do you take gold flakes? :jester:
