That’s One Ugly Benjamin

Next February, the Treasury Department will put the new $100 bill into circulation. It purportedly  has a bevy of high-tech security features built into its design; I’m guessing it has more to do with counterfeiters being ashamed and embarrassed at the prospect of having to reproduce these things. Sort of like how you’d feel if, after four years of art school, you ended up working in Thomas Kinkade’s shop.

Not that it matters much. What with the confiscatory wages imposed on me by the suits here at AMD, it’s not like I’ll ever have the opportunity to see one up close.
