Thats obviously the next step. Our currency is just wasted space that could be used for advertising! Think of how much the government would make if it started selling advertising space on currency, we'd never have to pay taxes again!

The guy just got put in cuffs by the secret service. I'd think suing for that is the most reasonable thing to do from that point on.

False arrest (especially a publicly humiliating one) is never a 'frivilous' lawsuit.

That is an amazingly good idea actually. Unpractical (consdering they'd need to recall every note and coin and print new ones if they changed their contract <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->) but it'd be funny to see.

And yeah I guess the lyrics do change when the queen snuffs it and we get a king but not by much (god save our whateverwordhere king, i don't know the lyrics, it's a crap song).

We have the space to put # of for that bill in our deposit slip for the bank, so that's the idea. If anyone came and paid for a pair of shoes with a $500 bill, they need a slap in the face for stupidity though. Unless they had some kind of cool or at least relevant reason.

Not nessesarily. They can just stop circulating bills for which the advertisers contracts have expired, they'd disapear quickly enough. The more I think about it, the less crazy it seems. Its a graet way for the government to make money without directly taking it from us. I mean, this isn't just any old adspace, this is like 3x superbowls of adspace we're talking about here, everybody uses cash everyday (or almost everyday).

Quoted for great justice!

Iconoclast

$500, $1000, and $10,000 bills were printed until the 1960's. Now a $500 bill can fetch anywhere between $700 to a couple thousand dollars.

They even printed $100,000 dollar bills for banknotes only.

Just do a google image search.

On a fun note, while scottish notes are legal tender in england and vica versa, many english stores are extremely gruding to take scottish notes for some reason... Have no idea why though :o

Which is why the US government took over printing currency from the states a long time ago <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I used to work in a jewllers that wouldn't take scottish notes. It's because the Bank of England is centralised and all English money looks the same with the same checks against forgery. Scottish notes all vary depending on the bank that prints it and so are a lot easier to forge. That's probably not a big thing for a small shop but for a large company that could have many target it or for a shop that deals in high value items it can become a worry.
