Amelia Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 $10 Bill Gets Colorful New Look New Bills Go Into Circulation Early Next Year September 28, 2005 []http://images.ibsys.com/2005/0928/5032664_480X360.jpg[/] WASHINGTON -- Hooray for the red, yellow and orange! Those are the colors featured on the newly redesigned $10 bill, the third currency denomination to add splashes of color to the traditional green of U.S. currency. Some 800 million of the new bills will be put into circulation starting early next year in the government's latest effort to stay ahead of tech-savvy counterfeiters. "The craftsmanship that goes into our currency is unmatched anywhere in the world. So is our commitment to safeguarding that currency," said Treasury Secretary John Snow, who participated in an unveiling ceremony on Ellis Island in the New York harbor. The location was selected to highlight one of the bill's new features -- a red image of the Statue of Liberty's torch on the left side of a revised portrait of Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the Treasury, who is shown without the traditional oval frame around his portrait. Also highlighted in red is the phrase from the Constitution "We the People" on the right side of Hamilton's portrait. The bill overall has a subtle orange background. The yellow is seen in small 10s around the torch on the front of the bill. There are also small yellow 10s to the right of the U.S. Treasury building, which remains on the back of the bill.

Paul Beach Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Dear friends, While Mrs. Gray is very happy to see that there is new currency, she is still nostalgic for the plain green colors. It just doesn't seem the same. Sincerely, Mrs. Gray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Gail Posted September 29, 2005 Administrators Share Posted September 29, 2005 Well, I say it's about time they got with the program, although it's not quite as colourful as it could be Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
