Funny Money...

The last time the U.S. Mint redesigned the currency, I thought my grandparents had given me Monopoly money as a graduation present.

Now the Peachback is set to debut on Thursday, and after two major redesigns in 10 years, we still have some of the ugliest currency I have seen. When the treasury does its next revamp, which I believe is set for about 2010 or so, could they at least consider the aesthetics of the stuff they want us to spend like there is no tomorrow? Is it not possible to have both counterfeit protection and a reasonably pleasant color scheme? Peach and green should only be seen together on a peach tree.
