Apparently Roger Ebert is anti-3D, most of these we agree with:

1. It’s the waste of a dimension.
2. It adds nothing to the experience.
3. It can be a distraction.
4. It can create nausea and headaches.
5. Have you noticed that 3-D seems a little dim?
6. It’s an excuse to buy new digital projectors.
7. Theaters slap on a surcharge of $5 to $7.50 for 3-D.
8. I cannot imagine a serious drama in 3-D (neither can I).
9. Whenever Hollywood has felt threatened, it has turned to technology to save the day.

With added security measures and extra ugliness, this bad boy would be one hard bill to pass at your local 7-11.

New features of the bill include:

  • 3-D security ribbon
  • Bell in the inkwell
  • Portrait watermark
  • Security thread
  • Color-shifting 100 (lower, right corner)
  • More color

Although I have not seen one of these in person, I would be more than happy to accept one (or 12) from a happy customer!
