Einstein to Appear on New $25.00 Bill Instead of ReaganThursday, March 03, 2005 Departing from the tradition of using portraits of dead presidents on US currency, images of famous scientists will now be featured on new bills. To initiate this change in tradition, the familiar image of the genius Albert Einstein will grace the front of the new $25.00 bill. Being considered for future appearance on new currency is the inventor Thomas Edison, also Edward Teller, father of the H-bomb, and possibly Al Gross, inventor of the cordless telephone.
The new $25.00 bill featuring Einstein will be released into circulation this week. In addition to the portrait of Einstein, the new bill features the statement: "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash", and also the disclaimer: "Genuine Fake Currency". As you may have surmised, the 25-Dollar Bill is actually a practical joke product known as Sucker Money. The new product is the work of Cheap Tricks, a practical joke business based in Daytona Beach, Florida.
