The $50 note looks awesome. Although, overall the designs are not the most practical looking. Have any of you seen the new Norwegian notes? -&gt; <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theatlantic.com&#x2F;entertainment&#x2F;archive&#x2F;2014&#x2F;10&#x2F;norways-new-banknotes-are-works-of-art&#x2F;381240&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theatlantic.com&#x2F;entertainment&#x2F;archive&#x2F;2014&#x2F;10&#x2F;nor...</a>

That currency is offensive to the increasingly large number of Americans who do not or can not &quot;work&quot;, or choose not to participate in the soul-destroying crapitalistic exchange of slave labour for artifically-backed so-called &quot;currency&quot;.<p>(Please don&#x27;t downvote me, I don&#x27;t actually feel that way, but that&#x27;s the reaction I would expect from the current culture of the easily-offended.)<p>I rather like them myself, though I agree they&#x27;re a little on the impractical side. I do wish we&#x27;d consider something more radical of a design change one of these days, if for no other reason than to at least make the current counterfeiters have to go out and get new equipment.

Yeah I really like the $50 dollar note and the designs overall, but I&#x27;d agree they are not the most practical. I&#x27;ve seen those Norwegian notes, they look great.

Needs more triangles.
