There's your U.S. bills. I've never heard of a $100,000 bill before. I actually have a $10,000 bill. Too bad it's only a bookmark. =P
The heart looks very nice!
Salmon P. Chase?
He was a Chief Justice of the 19th century.

And what in the world is Ulysses S. Grant doing on a bill? He may have been an effective general, but as President he sort of screwed the country over.

Wow, I wonder if anyone would fold a $100,000 bill into a heart. O_o Let alone use one rather than keep it in mint condition...

Nah, I would rather fold it into a star. Maybe a fourteen-sided star like the one on the Malaysian flag.

(Chass was very amused when I sent her a $5 note...)
I know! I still have some from when I visited Australia ages ago. I kept looking through the little windows.
But Canadian money's still better cause they just changed it this past year.

Yup! Gotta respect a $5 bill that features... hockey.
When I was working this summer a gtourist bus of Americans pulled up and I was giving some of them their change in twonies. I just blew their goldurned minds. They'd just sit there... staring at it. They were unable completely unable to function. And I work at McDonald's so I know people unable to function when I see it. They were more interested in the money than the food. On the bright side, they were so distracted by their new bright shiny coins that not a single one out of the group of 60 noticed that our registers weren't converting to american funds and they may have been getting a wee bit fleeced.

Hey, the american education system never prided itself on mathematics. That being said, what does the american education system pride itself on?

Yep, that's right.
If you look carefully, the windows in the $50 have 50 pressed into them, so you have to look carefully to see them.

Gah, I miss school. ;_;
Ahahah! You know, for charity week, your form should make purple hearts out of ugly $10 notes. Paint them. Stick them on card. Decorate them. They will, for the first time, gain aesthetic value and not look like ugly old coupons. Urgh. Ooo! The excuse is: send a heart to a loved one! Send a heart to someone you want to go to the grad ball with! Send a heart to your mummy! And then, sell them for $20. Just don't tell anyone what the hearts are made out of until the week is over. *nods*
I feel high. Where're my meds?

They do? *wanders off to raid Mum's wallet*
Lillie, they don't look like ugly coupons! They're cool!

Sorry to disappoint you Lillie but our form has decided to do Gunk the teacher

Over 20 teachers are chosen to be voted on and daily voting stats would be put up. On thurs there wouldn't be any stats shown and on friday the top two teachers (with the most votes) would be gunked in the middle of the netball court.
But the $10 card sounds super. those ugly purple mixed with magenta horrific looking $10 bills... I was about to give the shopkeeper back the bill until I saw what it was ¬¬

Really? Everyone here takes $50s and $100s and I see them all the time (even if it's just seeing my parents use them).

Alex, love, even a taxi driver commented on how the $10 looks like a coupon. Taxi drivers represent public opinion. They are in t3h know. You must be looking at a different currency, or at the old, green $10 bill (which actually is pleasing to the eye).
Gunk the teacher? *sobbu* No painting hearts.
... *saves up for gunk*

New Zealand money has gotta be the most scenic and colourful cash around.
$5 - Orange - Sir Edmond Hillary/Yellow eyed Penguin
$10 - Blue - Kate Sheppard/Blue Duck
$20 - Green - Queen Lizzie II/NZ Falcon
$50 - Purple - Sir Apirana Ngata/Kokako
$100 - Red - Lord Ernest Rutherford/Mohua
