Oh yeah it’s freakishly rare to see in retail and restaurants. Some older people still write checks to pay their bills these days. My mom does that, but she always uses plastic when she’s at stores, restaurants , etc.

Oh I’ve seen colorful foreign currency from around the world and how dull US currency looks in comparison. It would be nice if different denominations used different colors but honestly I rarely use cash these days so it really isn’t important to me.

A lot of places still accept checks here but more and more don’t anymore. However it’s not a problem in most cases though because fewer and fewer people use checks. A lot of young people don’t know how to write a check because it’s basically an unnecessary task anymore.

You’re thinking of older US paper currency, which was shades of green for a lot of its history. Over the years they’ve modified it to include other colors and introduced numerous security features, all in an effort to make it very difficult to counterfeit.

Here are a couple of examples of how bills looked when I was young:

It’s just an artistic variation of the original Independence Hall drawing.

Independence Hall, Philadelphia. Here’s a picture of it now: https://i.imgur.com/UiDgPkw.jpg

Yeah it’s a Lars von Trier film, which are often polarizing. I didn’t like Breaking the Waves but I did like Melancholia, so go figure.
