NYC Day 1 - "In America..."

America turns out to be much the same as Canada. Well I'm not sure what I was expecting in the first place, actually. Anyway, even the road signs are more or less the same colours, just with the speed limit in miles rather than kilometers. They even have quite a few Tim Hortons along the way (just that part close to the border), since I think Wendy's owns it now...

My mom gave me some $5 bills to have in my wallet. I am thoroughly disappointed that the greenback is no longer actually green. Well...it is, more or less, but it looks like they've added a tint of colour to some bills, probably to not anger the visually impaired population?? That's just practicality, I guess, since they used to be pretty much all the same just with a different president. It's just that...iconic "American Dollar" idea in my mind got smashed into smithereens. Just a little. Am I the only one who didn't know about this change? =D

So their bills are different colour by denomination?
