"Gentlemen, we can rebuild the U.S. currency.  We have the
technology.  We have the capability to build the world's
first bionic Benjamin.  Better than it was before.  Better,
stronger, faster."

We have shiny new presses that use the dry offset printing
process to print shiny new currency.  As we learn how to
use all the bells & whistles of these new presses, we are
designing more colorful (and hopefully more secure) currency.

But, looking at the new $5 and $100 designs, I think they
forgot to include a graphic artist on the design committee.
Images, security features, text, etc. just crammed wherever
they could find room.
