This is truly awesome.

But... what about the other side of the bill? I mean, it's going to look a bit lame if it's all super high design on the front and it's just white paper on the reverse.



Hypothetically, would you be more interested in a roll of toilet paper with decorations on both sides than one without?  In a way, I still want these bills to be like toilet paper - thrown away after a single use.  If we make them too pretty, people won't want to throw them away!

Hey, I just wanted to say, you're totally right.

I printed a bunch of these out on good 100% cotton paper and they are perfect. Now that I've actually used them a few times, I see the value of making them look nice but not too nice. Having designs on both sides is overkill. They are just about perfect -- it's no big rigamarole to print them, you don't feel bad writing on them, and they are durable enough for you wallet (on the cotton paper) but they still feel like single-use coupon style notes.

So glad to have these. Thanks!
