Meet Your New $5 Bill

If you liked Harold And The Purple Crayon, boy are you going to love the new $5 bill. Lincoln’s last stand after the penny will inherit the same counterfeiting countermeasures found on more valuable bills, and will come bruised with a large purple five “to help those with visual impairments distinguish the denomination.’ That’s right, never again will you confuse a $5 bill for a $50 bill.

We match purple ties to green shirts without pause, but does the pairing work for currency? Tell us what you think in our poll, after the jump.
