Guest StuCotts Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I heard a news item on NPR today about the new gussied-up new bill. In the course of delivering the item, the guy actually used the word "fin". It activated my nostalgia and made me regret the passing of that term from common usage, along with: sawbuck, double sawbuck and century note, not to say simoleon. Quote

Just wait a little while and it'll be different again. An acquaintance in the Secret Service says their biggest mission by far these days is fighting international counterfeiting of US currency. Thus the elaborate new doodads on and in our paper money, and the stepped-up frequency of changes to the designs. Quote
