Actually, I thought Lester was serious too. And with the increasing arrogance of the other 'powers' of this world, it was sort of hard to tell otherwise. You really should dumb down your jokes so us Americans, who have such low IQ's, live in poverty, and invade random countries (and whatever other stereotypes you think about us) can understand. The ironic thing is that with each post, you just mock more and more and you preach about unity and tear us down. It's utter hypocrisy. Unfortunately, people like you are really starting to make me hate the rest of the world...

@Lady Cooper
Most US currency has a watermark like that too (although sometimes it is not checked, or at least checked accurately, and criminals can just bleach $5's, which will still retain the watermark, and without looking hard enough, will look similar to whatever bill it was changed to)

(In reply to the actual post. I received one of these from an ATM today, and a vending machine I tried to use it in wouldn't accept it. Stronger currency counterfeit protection is nice, but you shouldn't break every vending machine each time you update it.)
