At least it still looks somewhat green and doens't have the toy money look of the last new 20s.
Interesting US money factoids:
Abraham Lincoln, our 16th President, has appeared on the one cent piece or the penny since 1909.
Thomas Jefferson, our 3rd President, has appeared on the five cent piece or the nickel since 1938.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our 32nd President, has appeared on the ten cent piece or the dime since 1946.
George Washington, our 1st official President, has appeared on the twenty-five cent piece or the quarter since 1932.
John F. Kennedy, our 35th President, has appeared on the fifty cent piece or the half-dollar since 1964.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, our 34th President, appeared on the one dollar coin from 1971 until 1978. His coin was replaced by the Susan B. Anthony Dollar Coin, and later on, the Sacajawea Gold Dollar.
George Washington, our 1st President, has appeared on the one dollar bill since 1869. The modern dollar bill, similar to the way it appears today, began to take shape in 1923.
Thomas Jefferson, our 3rd President, has appeared on the two dollar bill since 1869. The two dollar bill was then sporadically printed in 1928, 1953, 1963,1976 and 1999.
Abraham Lincoln, our 16th President, has appeared on the five dollar bill since 1928, replacing the portraits of President Garfield, which ran in 1882, President Grant which ran from 1886 to 1896 and President Benjamin Harrison which ran in 1902.
In 1902, William McKinley appeared on the ten dollar bill, but was replaced by Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the Treasury from 1929 until the present.
Andrew Jackson, our 7th President, has appeared on the twenty dollar bill since 1929, replacing President Garfield who was on the notes issued in 1882, George Washington in 1905 and Grover Cleveland in 1914.
Ulysses S. Grant, our 18th President, has appeared on the fifty dollar bill since 1913.
Abraham Lincoln appeared on the 100 dollar bill from 1869 until 1880. He was replaced by President James Monroe in 1891 and then Benjamin Franklin from 1928 until the present.
William McKinley, our 25th President, appeared on the five-hundred dollar bill, which is no longer in circulation.
Grover Cleveland, our 22nd and 24th President, appeared on the one-thousand dollar bill, which is no longer in circulation.
James Madison, our 4th President, appeared on the five-thousand dollar bill, which is no longer in circulation.

Nope... they feel like paper, but are actually made of some kind of fabric.
Currency is composed of 25% linen and 75% cotton. Red and blue synthetic fibers of various lengths are distributed evenly throughout. Prior to World War I the fibers were made of silk.

Yes, our money does seem kind of eh, bland, when compared that of other countries.
Nightingale -- great list! It looks like in the past, we used to put people on the bills and coins much sooner after their term was up than we do now. McKinley's term only ended in 1901, yet he was on the ten only 1 year later. Same with FDR. What did it take Sacajawea, a couple hundred years?

I actually have quite a few of them, and still see them pretty frequently. The ticket machines at the train station issue them for change in lieu of bills.

Interesting how the "National Bank" doesn't put Jefferson on many things... ;-)

Hmmm....that's really interesting- I have not seen one (Sacajawea coin) in a long time!! In fact, I saved one that my Dad gave me cuz we never see them around anymore!! Maybe it is a matter of where I live or something.......or maybe they've all moved to the East Coast!!

I'm in California, and our post office gives them back as change in the stamp machines.
You can always go down to your bank and give them $20, and they'll give you a roll of the golden dollars.
another good place to find them is renaissance faires. Many people take the "period" stuff WAY too far and pay for everything with gold coins, since there was no paper money back in the 1500s. the vendors hate this, especially if they're selling something expensive. I had someone pay me $400 in gold dollars for a pair of wedding goblets at the booth I was working at. By the end of the day we had over $1000 in gold coins! Those things are freakin HEAVY. Instead of simply having 10 100dollar bills, we had 1000 little, HEAVY freakin gold coins. Any faireworker HATES these things.
Now, outside of faire, I think the gold dollar is a pretty nifty little coin.
