The coins and paper money that all other Countries use such beautifull color contrasts and designs. Why is American money so boring? Why not make it more colorfull? Why has the money always looked so bland? I never noticed this until I started traveling.

It started out that way for simplicity and due to the available technology at the time. And now it would not be taken seriously if it resembled Monopoly currency. It's part of our culture and slang -- greenbacks, c-notes, dead presidents, etc.
I, frankly, am quite thrilled with American money and want a lot more!

Fer cryin' out loud! It's money! What do you want it to do, have flashing lights, or glow in the dark?
The purpose of money is not to entertain someone. It's meant to buy things.

Because besides its value in commerce we only use it to highlight our history, not as an artistic statement.
