New $5 Bill - 2008

[astrostu]

According to moneyfactory.gov, they'll be re-designing the $5 bill for a 2008 series. Anyone have ideas on what colors we'll see on these? Perhaps a yellow or purple ...

Did they say they would add color? Last I heard, they were leaving the $5 bill and the $1 bill alone. I figured a small design change, but color too?

That's what I had originally heard, but there was a press release about 6 months ago saying they were revising it, and at least I inferred that they're doing it along the same lines as the new $10, $20, and $50. They also say the $100 is going to follow the $5.
