Maybe we could mention something about the RFID urban legend that surrounds this new bill?

George Washington $20 bill
Various Internet sites talk about a really old $20 bill with George Washington. When was it printed?? I believe it was out of the history range on this page by at least a decade. User 66.32.64.190
From 'needs attention' (fixed AFAIC)
- U.S. twenty dollar bill -- Does anyone know the name of the design on the back of the Series 1914 large-sized note $20 bill?? You may use [3] (http://www.currencygallery.org) as a reference tool. 66.32.142.216 23:49, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
Finally it has been done. Can anyone do a similar thing to the other bill articles?? The portraits were mostly the same, with 3 exceptions, the $10, the $20, and the $1000, which had the same portraits, only in a different order, the $10 had Andrew Jackson, the $20 had Grover Cleveland, and the $1000 had Alexander Hamilton, All other bills from $5 to $10,000 had the same portraits. But how about the designs on the back?? They must ALL be something totally different. Remember the Internet site to use as a refrence tool. What does AFAIC stand for?? 66.32.247.11 14:24, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)
20 dollar bill and WTC
Is this the same bill that shows the WTC when folded. If so the info can be added in the article. Jay 10:16, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Hidden Images on the $20 Bill
Within a few months of the attacks, it was discovered that one could generate an image of the attack by taking a new-style $20 bill and folding it in the following manner:
- With the picture of the White House facing you, fold the bill in half lengthwise by folding the top down to the back. Now just the bottom of the White House should be visible.
- Fold the ends down (toward the front) so that the top forms a point and the two ends are even at the bottom.
When the bill is turned so that the point is at the bottom, an image of what looks like the smoking World Trade Center is visible. Flip the bill over, and an image of what looks like the smoking Pentagon is also visible. In reality, the "images" are portions of the picture of the White House, with the image of the smoke coming from the trees beside it. It startled many to see that such an amazing coincidence could come from a few simple folds, with a bill that was issued several years before the attacks took place. The folding process will not produce the images on an old-style $20 bill, but it will work with the new "colorful" type of twenty that contains the same picture of the White House.
Page move??
How come Canadian twenty dollar bill was moved to a hypenated form but this article was not?? Georgia guy 01:56, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Standard formatting, to match with Canadian five-dollar bill and Canadian ten-dollar bill. Radagast 17:11, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
