While youse guys are trying to get used to the "funny money" colored stuff, we are going polymer!  That's right, plastic bills. They can't be folded, spindled or mutilated (except by a shredder, lol). They will be pliable, but no creases or wrinkles for those pesky machines that spit it back at you. Wash and spend too, right out of the machine. Don't know if the dryer will shrink or otherwise warp them.

They are starting with the $100 and gradually introducing the others. I have no doubt they will try, once again, to introduce the $5 coin.......or just do it! Now saved "change" could mean big bucks.

Not to worry.

I don't know if it's their bills that are made of rubber, but I know their IOU's are.

You will.

Awww... Sorry Sooz, you're right, of course.

We iz jus' havin' a bit o' fun....

Well, they've always said we all be paying with plastic one of these days.  I guess they were right.

What gets me is they can't be folded....

How the hell am I supposed to keep them in my pocket????

You aren't. You're supposed to spend, spend, spend on useless crap.

LOL Sid, they do bend. You just can't crease them. So, get a wallet, because it just might look like you are "happy to see" everyone if you put them in your pocket.

If you can't crease them how do you fold it up to show the devil in the queen's hair?

Yeah... and there goes that old bar trick... remove the $10 from under the full beer glass without touching the glass or spilling the beer.
