Tasteful, yes? And it dwarfs all other U.S. legal tender notes in circulation! (Suck it, $20 bill.)
Today, as all of you know, is September 11. Later today we'll cull all of our 9/11 memorial-ish events for those of you who want to never forget, etcetera, etcetera, and so forth. The main SF memorial, though, is down at AT&T Park, which has banners listing the names of WTC victims at the front gate on King and Third streets.
Know of a 9/11 memorial event happening today? Do let us know in the comments.

It absolutely turns my stomach when I see crap like that. Please go straight to hell for making a profit out of tragedy with your mawkish tat. On September the 10th most of the country thought that New York was full of fags, jews and spics and should just sail off into the Atlantic. By September 11th it was every hillbilly's personal tragedy.
I'm a bit on the fence here with the "Let's show you what you saw on sept. 11th - on sept. 11th '08! OMG!" I get the whole commemorative thing, but doesn't it seem a little, ya know, exploitative?
Am, am I being a hippy?
i would very much like one of these bills.
Fizzandpop: WORD. This is such a load of shit. If the country wants to commemorate September 11th, then give us a day off to mourn. I would personally mourn the curtailing of personal freedoms by our own government since that fateful day.
September WhatEVER.
Forget what?
No, really. This thing is tacky. But it does dwarf the measly $20. And it only costs $20!!! The number that the mismatched (never before) 9 and 11 (for 9/11!!) add up to! OMG! We should use it to print our own money, like as a stamp.
That thing is one of the lamest late night TV ads i've seen in a while. It's not even real silver- it's silver PLATE. Still it's better than that weird coin with the removable towers that you can plug in to the coin and make into a little statue.
You just wait till 9/11/2101. Then who's gonna be happy they spent that $20.
It's LIBERIAN dollars, people. One Liberian dollar equals a little more that one-and-a-half CENTS in real American dollars.
$20 Liberian = about 32 cents US
Just wish they would not refer to it as 9/11
Just imagine how people with Birthdays or anniversaries feel today.
Today is the daughter's birthday for one of our co workers - and there is such a gloom hanging over the celebration.
She has become ashamed of being born on this day
Crap like this, the weird statue coin, and Princess Di crap, is why we cannot let my developmentally disabled niece have a credit or debt card. She would fill her home with this crap even more than it is now.
That tell you who buys this shit!!
I wonder how many Liberian dollars we have spent on the fake war so far.
Haha, I bet the guy who headed this project is now somewhat rich and living in one of the middle floors of the Rincon Hill tower.
Should tragedy ever befall the guy who's behind the manufacturing of these dollars, for instance, if his wife was brutally murdered at home while he was away, I think we should make silver-plate Liberian dollars with an etching of his house on the front, and have the date his wife was killed occupying the the spots where you see 9 and 11 on the advertised bill. Then we should run up to him, wave it in his face and exclaim, "This note dwarfs all others in U.S. circulation!"
