WASHINGTON - Coming soon to a cash register near you: a new $5 bill sporting some touches of color for the first time.
The bill goes into circulation Thursday. That's when the Federal Reserve, the supplier of the nation's cash, starts shipping the bills to banks, which send them to businesses and eventually into the wallets, pocketbooks and hands of people in this country and beyond.
Love the big, purple 5 in the lower right-hand corner.

Time was, the counterfeiters never made any (real) money producing ANY bill under a $20.
Now, it's become the old "cat & mouse" game as far down as the lowly $1 note.
Better check those PENNIES we have...just to make sure they ARE legal tender (before they do away with them altogether).
