Hi. I've never posted in this forum before. I don't own any rare paper currency.

The other day, I won $100 on a $2 scratch off lottery ticket, and took a picture of the bill.

I stared at it for a moment, and found myself getting a bit depressed. Not because I don't like $100 bills, but because of the sad and disgusted look of disapproval on Franklins' face.

Why did they not put a big grin on him to make people happy when they see him?

I think it would look "cheesy" and make the monopoly money look even more like monopoly money. If you can't tell, I don't like the $100 bill design at all.

I would collect 100 dollar bills if this was on them...

1752? With the American flag? And US banknotes? Historically inaccurate...ruins the **awesome** for me. Now if that were the Union Jack with notes like this, I'd be all for it.

It's not as bad as the portraits used on the Presidential dollar coins

Dude.... dude.....

Franklin already had the 13 star flag and the modern bank notes before he even aquired electricity from Zues. He kept them in the Franklin half cave in Pennsylvania until Poseidon threw him into the liberty bell, and he had to turn all his super powers over to Wolverine.

Where do you get this stuff?
