Andrew Jackson (search) is getting a lively new makeover by the U.S. government, which has freed him from his former frame and brightened up his background on the new $20 bill, entering circulation through commercial banks today.
 

 
These changes aren’t an exercise in vanity – the $20 bill (search) is a counterfeiter's favorite muse, regularly dispensed from ATM machines and toted in wallets but rarely checked by merchants for authenticity. In an attempt to stay ahead of copying crooks, the U.S. government is getting clever with cash.  
 
“In the fiscal year of 2001, $600 billion were in circulation and out of that $49 million in counterfeit currency was passed on the public,” said Mitchell. “World-wide, about one dollar for every 12,400 in circulation is counterfeit.”

"Senility Prayer"...God grant me...
The senility to forget the people I never liked
The good fortune to run into the ones that I do
And the eyesight to tell the difference."
