I don't have time for this. I'm far too busy printing 300-Euro notes! COUNTERFEITERS are passing €300 notes in Europe — worth £214 each — even though the denomination doesn't exist. The fraudsters are making millions from people still struggling to understand the new currency. Christa Randzio-Plathof, head of the European Parliament's economic committee, said: "They are not only faking the current denominations but are introducing non-existing notes. "It beggars belief that counterfeiters have replicated euro notes so quickly efficiently, given the supposedly fake-proof security features." (The Sun 19 Aug 2003 ) I have these nice $3 bills too, if anyone wants some.....

Has anybody actually handled one of the new multi-colored $20 bills yet?

Yes on the colored $20. An ATM near me spits em out. Looks like more Monopoly money, lol. But also looks really hard to fake, and tons of strange details.

Used some "new" 20's the other night. What a time I had convincing the people in the restaurant that they were real.

If you think the new $20 bill is getting to look too much like Monopoly money, then the new Euro notes must look really bad: Worse yet is this monstrosity from Switzerland: Take a look back at this thread from a few months ago: The Color of Money [This message has been edited by pauluk (edited 10-20-2003).]

Haha, our national bank in Sweden regularly change color and size of the notes. Most recently, they changed them to look more like the Euro notes.
