The countdown begins till Uncle Dumbo’s, Michelle Malkin’s, Rush Limbaugh’s and Sean Hannity’s heads explode:

Officials from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the United States Secret Service unveiled the new design for the $100 note. Complete with advanced technology to combat counterfeiting, the new design for the $100 note retains the traditional look of U.S. currency.

“As with previous U.S. currency redesigns, this note incorporates the best technology available to ensure we’re staying ahead of counterfeiters,” said Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner.

“When the new design $100 note is issued on February 10, 2011, the approximately 6.5 billion older design $100s already in circulation will remain legal tender,” said Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board Ben S. Bernanke. “U.S. currency users should know they will not have to trade in their older design $100 notes when the new ones begin circulating.”

I’m with John Cole on this one-by the end of the week we will be hearing yet another litany about how America is becoming like Europe. This, in spite of the fact  that it has been proven again and again, multi-colored money is harder to counterfeit.

Of course there is no real impact on me-the only time I see a 100 dollar bill is when I am in the act of passing it from a casino ATM to a lady blackjack dealer with large tits. After that-its all chips and twenty’s baby…………..
