GREENBACKS AND RAZORBACKS….CNN reports today that new $20 bills to be unveiled on March 27 will have a background color other than green.
Unlike M&Ms and Lifesavers, however, the Treasury Department is not allowing consumers to vote on the color, a potentially costly mistake. But the big question, I think, is what they’re going to do with the rest of the bills. Do they get facelifts too? And will they all be the same color, or will we have rainbow money, like so many foreign countries?
And if we can’t call them greenbacks, what are we going to call them?
