    You Americans are experts at outsourcing any homegrown problem, aren’t you? Drug problems? Venezuela. Radical right wing in the core of the imperial west winning the elections? Russia’s fault.

    Mother of God, your international propaganda apparatus is so pervasive that I needed to exchange euros to dollars the other day and I could recognize the faces of your fucking 200 year old founding fathers on the bills by name and surname, and you STILL believe that propaganda problems in the USA are due to Russia?!

        As a proud new york man person that eats new york a style a hot dog, I am upset about zohron mudani and his plan to turn hot dogs into gay communism.

        Modern US bills are really more of a white-blue with bruise yellow tones (except for the $1s) - but damn is the idea of the “american greenback” deeply rooted in the cultural identity!

            This was more a comment on how the american aesthetic is so prolific that you still think of US currency being green despite it being long past the point where that was true, rather than a comment on what the colors actually are.

            color comparison

            Historical bill (Very Green) (1998):

            Recent bill (not very green) (2013):

            (There is a very funny joke in here that I only just noticed, though the color representation is still pretty accurate)

                The image I used of the modern $20 is a counterfeit one. Real US currency does not have “MONEY” written on it in cartoon fonts (and also it lacks the eurion constellation). The color gradient is accurate, though.
