News from Around the World

This looks like it could be good news:

That being said, the US visa does look quite pretty, with a big picture of Abraham Lincoln impersonating the Statue of Liberty (well, actually, I assume it’s the Lincoln Memorial – interesting they choose a representation of a representation, rather than a simple picture of Lincoln himself), as well as some text in the kind of monumental typeface (very much not a Swiss sans-serif) that reminds you how European the UK is. The same thing happens with money: the clean lines and bright colours make Sterling notes and Euros almost indisitinguishable next to the 19th century stylings of the Dollar.
