Vexed Bermoothes

The BMA today announced that new Bermuda banknotes will introduced as part of the island’s 400th anniversary.

Apparently the “The Queen has been moved as the main image” aka honey I shrank the Queen!

And no, she has not been replaced by The Dame or The Doctor.  Apparently there are flowers and stuff.  For now, bwahahaha!

You could this coming in the BMA’s announcement last year:

Planning for this launch commenced in 2005, and the BMA received the permission and support of the minister of finance and the cabinet for this new design in the summer of 2007. The objectives of the launch are: to update the design of the Bermuda note family, the basic design of which has been in place since 1969; to provide a distinct Bermuda design, and clearly distinguish the note family from the designs of other countries; to provide a sense of national pride and easy identification with the features by the Bermudian public; to combat counterfeiting by increasing the security features; and to issue notes that are durable in the island’s tropical climate. The new banknotes will be launched in the first quarter of 2009.

But I have a question:  is brown the new color of money?

UPDATE:  The new banknotes are pretty and colourful.  They look like hooker money.
