Look What Happened To Jose De San Martin

[fred mertz]

This genteleman's face is on both the old and new $5.00 bill. On the old bill he looks fine and the bill looks classy. His picture on the new bill is horrible. They chopped off part of his head Also IMO the bill looks like somethng that a store would issue as a discount for a future purchase. In the new bill Sr de San Martin looks very much like Libearce, a now deceased famous EEUU pianistt and entertainer.

They should have got rid of the $5 bill altogether. Replace it with a coin. Worth only 34 US Cents / 30 Euro Cents ...

And still you can read this: ".... el especialista Edgardo Muela, tesorero del Centro Numismático de Tucumán, explicó que, a simple vista, la calidad del diseño es baja, y advirtió que este factor es peligroso porque puede facilitar la aparición de billetes falsos."

Amazing, who will want to forge soon to be 10 dollar cents???

It is not a coincidence, the political project of the President is based on erasing San Martin achieves.
