11/28: New Euro money

I had hoped that when they changed the US currency they would adopt different colors for the different denominations.

It would make a lot of sense in that you wouldn't have to read the number on the bill anymore, you'd soon know that a "green" was a five, a "blue" was a ten etc. Fumbling through your wallet would be faster, mistakes would be fewer.

I think the reason they stuck with all denominations being green was to keep the sense of stability associated with US currency, that people would get frightened if the money changed color. This I think was primarily to soothe old people, the young generation would quickly adapt.
