Senility, unreasonable paranoia, or realistic concern? You are the judge. [View all]

Earlier today I received a bunch of twenties from an ATM. Twenties are today's fives, but the machines still only dispense twenties hereabouts. One of the bills was very crisp and looked weird. My initial thought was the motherfucking TSF regime was issuing currency it would later dishonor.

With my eyeglasses, a magnifying glass and Google I discovered I now have an almost uncirculated Series 1993 Twenty Dollar Bill. Those bills differ from current twenties in a number of respects, most conspicuously in that Jackson's image is in a small oval and a fraction of the size it is on more recent bills.
