Banknote of the Month, July 2011

On my blog I feature a different banknote picture and small description every month. This month is the infamous but fictional "Blue Dollar" of internet conspiracy lore. :D

I think it is time for a $1 bill redesign, although I think it would have to be green in color.

Funny that they are blue.
it makes you think that the "blue helmets" would enforce the exchange of old for new frn's
