(looks like they consulted Ocklawaha on this one)
Wow they put columns like the Annie Lytle on the back !!! woo hoo !
Nice looking note. soon ..all the old 5s ll dissappear. :)
I'll have to upgrade my dollar bill acceptors an my vending machines. Hopefully the mint will do a better job of following their own specs than they did with the state quarters. I do like the bill.
Leave it to the government to ask then still mess the whole project up...
Yeah, they got the purple right, that part is fine... But that photo! OMG! I told them Jefferson By God Davis!
Idiots!

Whats up with the PURPLE 5 in the lower RH corner. Clearly a design blunder! Make it Green like the other 3 5s,,, and I dont understand the huge Font on it. but is a nice looking note.
