[QUOTE="TracerBullet42, post: 1942755, member: 11885"] First of all...WOW! Nice job! It most likely isn't funny to most people. As a Chicagoan, and a Bears fan, Ditka is dear to my heart. He coached the Chicago Bears to a superbowl victory back in 1985. And ever since that time, our beloved Bears have stunk. Ditka was a Chicago icon and is still heralded around our city. That's all fine and good, but why put his face on an $80 bill? It comes back to football. A group of my friends and I have been running a fantasy football league for about 12 years now. And one of the guys had an undefeated season this year, and won big. No one has ever dominated our league like that before him. So he said he wanted his prize money ($80) commissioned from a mint as an 80 dollar bill with Mike Ditka's face on it to commemorate the occasion. Clearly, such a request could not be fulfilled, but I thought it'd be neat to make a little "fake" one and frame it to commemorate his great season. He's going to be VERY suprised to see that. So thanks again, Turanil! That's some great work. I owe you one. [/QUOTE]
