the new $20 bill - ...

[Goatweed]

I don't like it. It feels like fake money, and the change machine downstairs doesn't like it (which seems to be a problem with all of the machines). Now I read today there's a new nickel coming our way - can't they just leave well enough alone?

it should probably save the country hundreds of millions if not billions in counterfits.

But yeah it doesn't work in any vending machines which pisses me off. I can't do laundry

[Goatweed]

I know the counterfeiting issue is basically why they keep changing it, but rather than make it more complex to fake, why not just come up with a new kind of currency?

I think Australia or some other country uses plastic as currency - and is nearly impossible to counterfeit.

some one's already done it up in boston.

fazools should be the national currency.

[GonzoStyle]

Keyser you crossed over with humor from the mod forum, so no one has any clue as to what you are saying.

Fazools is the way I and many other brooklyn people call money.

and Fazools is an awesome alternative to money.

AY, YOU LOAN ME A COUPLE FAZOOLS?

[Galt]

what is the exchange rate from fazools to dollars?

[HedCold]

doesn't fazool (or the correct spelling of it) mean beans in italian?

[Keyser Soze]

i knew that gonzo, i was trying to be cool and make an inside joke.

you need 20 dollars worth of quarters to do laundry?????? my change thing only takes 1s and 5s. but yeah, i find it pretty annoying that they keep changing the money. and does it save that much in counterfeiting more than they spend to put out the new money. they spent millions just on telling people about the new 20s. we did get a bunch of fake 20s at a party once though, one of the bartenders got fired over that.

Buy a washing machine.

[Galt]

I only get my money from ATMs. Which means I only get 20s. Which means that aside from $20s, I only have about $10 worth of other bills. And since 4 loads of laundry costs more than that, I need to use a $20, and the machine doesn't accept it.

I'd rather just put $40 on it and forget about it for a month.

[IrishAlkey]

Get change from a store.

[Goatweed]

noone likes to give change unless you spend a couple of bucks - buying a pack of gum doesn't cut it anymore.

[IrishAlkey]

Excuses Excuses

[Goatweed]

it's no excuse, it's the camel-jockeys that make me buy $5 worth of shit to break a $20.

[crx girl]

i can always give you change if you need it, i don't make you buy anything

[Galt]

And then sometimes I knock over bottles of wine with my giant Goretex jacket and I end up having to spend like $80 in wine so I get change.

buy a penthouse forums magazine

why pay for porn when I can download it at home for free?

the point is, I shouldn't have to spend money to change it.
