[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] I'm sure people in the States have seen the new $20 bills by now. I just got my first ones at the bank the other day and feel compelled to share my reaction. The front isn't bad... in fact the cool blue eagle over the green fade on the left is pretty cool, though the green fade should be contained within the border instead of going all the way to the edges. The two metallic inks used to print the shield and the lower right "20" are nice. But what were they thinking with the wavy, sans serif "TWENTY USA / USA TWENTY" on the right under "The United States of America"?! The back is more of a nightmare. Instead of enlosing the white house in a border like they do on the new $10 bill, they've opted for an ugly faded vignette. Barf. And what the hell with all the little yellow "20"s scattered all over the back? And they didn't even have the courtesy to hide a spider in the webbing like on the $1 bill... I realize that most of these design gaffs are for anti-counterfitting purposes... but I don't accept that as an excuse for bad design. [/QB][/QUOTE]
