...sadly increasingly myopic (only in the ophthalmological sense) European, I had often asked myself how long it would be before the land of the free realized that having all its banknotes the same color and size was perhaps not the savviest concept. I know that change is not necessarily in the best interests of the inherently protective U.S. green-ink industry, but we all face sacrifices these days, especially when it comes to green issues.
