I don't think they look too bad.
why USTD? why?The colors are to make counterfeiting more difficult and the different denominations easier to recognize.

that's what they said in 1999 when they changed them the first time. but to no effect, why should it work this time?

I think we've started down a slippery monetary slope

The US dollar has always been the world's ugliest currency. Even Liberian money looks better, worthless as it is.

Did you know that if you look really close at the European flag at the top left corner of a Euro bill that in small light blue text it explains the rules of soccer? So next time in the Euro Zone make sure you check to make sure it's real.

I think that may be an Urban Myth. The rules are quite long.

American money is always ridiculous looking. Our is so much better.Now, THOSE I don't like.
for the needless security measuresWhy do they not need security?
that can not be varified outside canadaWhy can't they be verified elsewhere?
someone could put it in a xerox machine and make millions of themFine printing, proprietary ink, proprietary paper (or, even better, plastic), and other security features prevent that from working.
