Do you think American paper money needs to be printed in various colors?

Nope. It's kind of an American thing with all the greens and whites. =D

yes, only if joe 6 pack wakes up and realizes the bank note is a paper that has no intrinsic value. The phase III of gold bull run is about to start.

This is a really WIDE-ranging question, and it's practically impossible to give you a good answer that's practical for use. Fed Reserve prints money, essentially, "increasing the money supply" (counterfeiting) on demand. It is private, yet govt controlled. The govt simply placed it in "private hands" so they could get away with their political sleight of hand without having to worry about the Constitution. The IMF, of which the US is a member with about 17% of the clout, loans federal reserve funny money and usurious rates, then, eventually, puts anyone small (only large companies can afford usurious rates) out of business, out of house, home, food, and everything else. Ask Jamaica. The federal govt, in taking us off the gold standard, has sentenced the US to eventual economic death.\n\nGo to the web and search for Liberty Dollar. You can trade $10 in federal funny money for real silver, and $1 for silver certificates backed by real silver. If enough of us used this, we could make the US financially solvent again, over the years.

U.S. currency features something known as "series dates." A series date does not indicate the year a particular bill was printed, but rather the date of the design featured on that bill. That is, if the $5 bill were redesigned in 1929, all subsequent $5 bills issued using that design would be marked "Series 1929," regardless of when they were actually printed. (When a minor change is made to a bill's features — such as a substitution of signatures due to the appointment of a new Treasurer of the United States or Secretary of the Treasury — the series year remains the same, but a letter is appended to it. Thus a minor change to "Series 1929" currency would result in bills marked "Series 1929A.") \n\nSmall wonder, then, that some people assumed the 2006 release of newly-redesigned $10 bills bearing a legend reading "Series 2004" was the product of some sort of printing error. \n\nThe series date isn't an error, though. Although the most recent re-designs of the $10, $20, and $50 bills were authorized for 2004, the release of the denominations incorporating these new designs was (as in the previous wave of currency re-designs in 1996-2000) staggered across several years. Thus, although all three denominations bearing the latest designs are technically "Series 2004" bills, the newest $20 bills were first put into circulation at the end of 2003, the new $50 bill was first released at the end of 2004, and the new $10 bill wasn't issued until March 2006. Confusing, perhaps, but not a mistake as far as the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing is concerned.

American money is pretty bland, although some of the more recent redesigns help. I kind of do like the Euro, myself. There are so many different designs, depending on which country it came from first.

From the circulation, government print a certain amount of money and release this for circulation, some of it goes to daily use, some end up in foreign shores, other end up in banks, piggy bank, under the matress or become dormant [uncirculated].\n\nThose in circulation will eventually wear out, tear or totally lost like in fire.\n\nGovernment estimate the amount need to be print based on the money that are collected for destruction due to wear and tear and can no longer be used, and an estimate deducted from moeny supply that are in banks or in circulation.\n\nThis number are dymanics and not fix, so every time new money is to be mint, number cruching begin.

That would probably fall in the Greeting Card catagory. Check out what would be needed to do that. \n     I'm sure it would include the appropriate printing materials and equipment, as well as distribution information. It is a very niche market, but if you work hard at it, you could probably make a go of it.

TEN DOLLAR BILL:\n\n"REDESIGNED $10 NOTE STARTS CIRCULATING TODAY\nU.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Board and U.S. Secret Service Officials Spend First New $10 at the National Archives\n\nWashington - March 2, 2006 - The redesigned $10 note entered circulation today at the National Archives, home of the U.S. Constitution, which figures prominently in the new note’s design.\n\nOn its first day in circulation, officials from the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Board and U.S. Secret Service used a new $10 note to purchase a pocket-sized copy of the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives Shop. The phrase "We the People" from the U.S. Constitution is featured on the face of the new $10 note. Images of the Statue of Liberty’s torch are also incorporated into the new design.\n\nToday is the redesigned $10 note’s day of issue, the day the Federal Reserve System begins delivering the new notes to commercial banks for distribution to businesses and the public worldwide. The notes will begin circulating immediately in the United States and will then be introduced in other countries in the days and weeks ahead, as international banks place orders for $10 notes from the Federal Reserve.\n\n"Staying ahead of would-be counterfeiters is a top priority of the U.S. government, and in order to do that, our currency will need to be redesigned every seven to 10 years," said United States Treasurer Anna Cabral. "Through the introduction of new designs with state-of-the-art security features, we will continue to safeguard the integrity of U.S. currency and help protect businesses and consumers."\n\nThe new $10 note incorporates easy-to-use security features for people to check their money and subtle background colors in shades of orange, yellow and red. \n\nWhile consumers should not use color to check the authenticity of their currency, color does add complexity to the note, making counterfeiting more difficult. Different colors are being used for different denominations, which will help everyone – particularly those who are visually impaired – to tell denominations apart. \n\n"In addition to recognizing the design elements and enhanced security features of the new $10 note, it is important for the public to know they will not need to trade in old notes for new ones," said Michael Lambert, Assistant Director of Federal Reserve Bank Operations and Payment Systems. "Older-design notes will maintain their full face value." \n\nSince unveiling the new $10 note design last September, the U.S. government has distributed more than 10 million pieces of educational material with information about the new $10 note to prepare businesses, stakeholder organizations and consumers worldwide for the new note’s issue. \n\n"Each time we issue a redesigned denomination, our goal is to ensure its smooth transition into daily commerce both domestically and abroad," said Bureau of Engraving and Printing Director Larry Felix. "Over the past six months, we have worked with manufacturers of ATMs and other machines that receive and dispense cash, as well as retailers, small businesses and international governments, so that they may prepare for today’s day of issue of the redesigned $10 note." \n\n"As the permanent home of the U.S. Constitution, the National Archives is pleased that the U.S. Treasury has featured the Constitution in the new $10 bill," said Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein.\n\nThe new $10 note – like the redesigned $20 and $50 that preceded it – incorporates stateof- the-art security features to combat counterfeiting, including three that are easy to use by cash handlers and consumers alike: \n\nColor-shifting ink: Tilt your ten to check that the numeral "10" in the lower righthand corner on the face of the note changes color from copper to green. \nWatermark: Hold the note up to the light to see if a faint image of Treasury Secretar

Absolutely!!  The second president "Jefferson" is on it.\n\nI have found many people not liking the bill only for the fact that the change drawers of cash registers do not have enough room the way it is so another bill is just annoying. \n\nOn the other hand, though it is legal tender, alot of people tend to think it is rather special and end up tucking it away like it is a rare piece to add to their collection.  The same goes for the dollar coins, no room in change drawer, too close to the quarter size and people just don't like them.  Now the government is coming out with MORE !  They don't care if you use them or not, they make money off people hoarding them thinking they are something special when really they are not!\n\nI make a habit of going to the bank and getting rolls of the coin dollars and the stacks of the $2 bills, which I give out as tips at restaurants and spend just to get them out in circulation.

the simple answer is NO! What is the point in having a dollar bill with Bushes head on it, it will only make is ego bigger and popularity fall even if it is a picture of him reading the paper sat on the toilet.

Most definitely! As long as it doesn't totally render the bill unrecognizeable, you can write things on it without getting sent to jail. You may get a stare if the cashier happens to see it, but just ignore them.

It probably just made more sense to describe the amount and then the currency.  I see some written descriptions outside the US use the currency symbol afterward, like 637$.  Maybe we should all start doing it...:-)

Yes.  And Americans in general are ok with this.  We should be teaching them how to work for something they get instead of just giving the stuff to them.  They value nothing these days either.  \n\nSorry, I got started.....

It depends on where you live, in England it's colour, in America its color.

There should be a security strip....if you hold it up to the light you can see that it says 100   ( or whatever denomination you are checking)  There should also be a watermark....it should be a smaller version of the protrait of the president (franklin for the 100 although he wasn't a president)  that can also only be seen if you hold it up to the light....the watermark will not distort so if you find one with a funky watermark it's a fake....look at the lines that are close together and the small lettering....those are very hard to replicate without blurring or distorting....detail is the key.....one of the numbers in the corners (don't remember which one)should feel raised and change colors as you look at it at different angles.....there should be red and blue fibers visible....that's because money is not printed on paper but some form of cloth paper....You can try to carefully tear the bill....a real one will stretch a tiny bit where as a fake one on regular paper will rip...you can also feel the difference in paper.....You can try and buy one of those pens that banks use that change colors....you can try looking at it under a black light...a fake will light up like a flashlight....or you can wash it in the washing machine....regular paper will fade and fall apart in the first washing where as you would need to repeatedly wash real money until the appearance really changes..
