I refuse to acknowledge anything but the Buddy Ebsen greenback!

Oh, it's actually a certainty that US currency will bear the image of an actor in the not-too-distant future.

I was surprised they didn't put on Olof Palme on one of them. He was pretty influential, and kind of a big deal.

Or better yet, my wife's suggestion:

20Kr:-Anni-Frid Lyngstad
50kr:-Benny Andersson
100kr:-Björn Ulvaeus
500kr:-Agnetha Fältskog
1000kr:- Swedish Chef

Greta Garbo and Ingmar Bergman now appear on Swedish money. It's only a matter of time before American currency bears the images of ~~Corey Haim and Ed Wood~~ Charles Bronson and Bruce Campbell

FTFY, Subby.

/Now those would be awesome.

If I were home, I'd fire up Photoshop.

Ed Wood is already on the three dollar bill.

signaljammer		2011-04-07 01:58:32 PM

Graven images. A pluralistic state would have nothing to do with hagiography.

I think we all know where this is headed.

Put whoever's playing John Galt in Atlas Shrugged on the $1.

Did you just compare Ingmar Bergman to Ed Wood???

No comparison. Ed Wood was a genius.

Haim is from Toronto, subby. As always, shoulda went with Feldman (he could use the work).

drb9		2011-04-07 02:20:17 PM

I can't wait until the Rebecca Black dollar. Hopefully, Justin Bieber will get the 50 cent piece.

....And to round off american currency James Tiberius Kirk and James Bond (I know niether are american(or actual people), but that would be an unrivalled team of awesomeness)and also who would be for which denomination?

Psycoholic_Slag		2011-04-07 02:28:01 PM

Man, we should put hot 40's pinup models like those painted on our bombers during WWII. Greta Garbo, Rita Hayworth and the like in tight bathing suits.

Oh yeah baby.

FirstNationalBastard		2011-04-07 02:29:52 PM

I'm just glad the British have updated their money...

HungryHungryHippo		2011-04-07 02:31:22 PM

People can then say things like "I've got some Wood in my pocket and I'm ready to party" without fear of getting slapped.

Also, it would be cool to say something like, "I can't recall, but perhaps if you slapped a few Haim's in my palm it may refresh my memory."

At least they're Swedish. On the Canadian 20 dollar bill we have some old one from England whose family are always in the tabloids. What was her name again...?

I think the coins looks awful. They're like Chuck E Cheese tokens.

Can't we put some artistry into our money?

You sound bitter. What's it like declaring your independence and still having a babysitter from Mother England there to keep an eye on you?

Yeah, but on the back of your nickel you have some hot beaver...

I'd go for William Shatner on a CDN currency.

It would go well with the $5 CDN that you can alter the image to look like Spock.

PawisBetlog		2011-04-07 03:04:09 PM

I cant believe I have to be the one to point this out, but our money is clearly headed towards Pam Anderson, followed by a slow spiral down to that ditz from jersey shore..

urban.derelict		2011-04-07 03:10:36 PM

I want money like they use in FARKISTAN:

I've got at least as big a gripe with the leap from Garbo to Corey Haim. That's some vile extrapolating right there.

Still waiting for Texas to secede so we can put Boomhaur on the money.

Oh come on, anyone can tell that's counterfeit. The real ones have those fancy sonic screwdriver decal watermark things.

How can this be turned into a shop thread?

Hoopy Frood		2011-04-07 03:54:37 PM

They should keep the tradition of putting politicians on currency.

$1 Mayor Jerry Springer
$5 Mayor Clint Eastwood
$10 U.S. Rep. Ben Jones
$20 U.S. Rep. Fred Grandy
$100 President Ronald Reagan

That puts the Dirty Harry/Cooter ratio at 2:1, with two Cooters to the Gopher and five Gophers to the Gipper.

Dutch cash was beautiful. Wish our stuff looked that good.
