	Thanks jal. I'm still trying to get the shape right on the 50's. the shapes pretty good. Just needs a few small tweaks, but mainly some AA to smooth it out. I can post an edit I did of the 50 if you want, but I figure you can figure out how to smooth it out on your own. Edited by r1k - 08 August 2011 at 8:31pm

	@dpixel: the problem with the 50s is banding- use the second lightest grey to AA. something from a couple of years ago \o/

I see a QR code and possible Morse code, what am I missing? I see possible braille, but am having no luck figuring it out. The lower two could be an "I", or the lower three an "O", but that lave the upper untranslated/able. If you rotate 180 it says "is" though. -shrug- Probably looking to much into it.

If someone were to help me with the horrendous circle in the middle, which is probably afflicted by all kinds of banding, jagged lines and other errors, I would be most appreciative.

	Thank you very much. <3 Do you mean the ones that say CLEF or Sol Zagato? I suppose they're both in maroon... Any idea which color you think would look better? I'm starting work on the back side of the banknote right now; I think I'll go ahead and make more CLAMP money even after the challenge is over.
