Of course, we all know how the Internet and fans work. As soon as there's a teaser for something, there has to be an easter egg or hidden something (image, word, art, etc) within the tease. GTA V as you can imagine, is no different. Some keen gamers have discovered that the logo displayed above, is identical to the design of the $5 dollar bank noted issued in 1889 by the US Mint. An American setting has been rumored, but would Rockstar be breaking the rules by taking GTA back to the pre-1900s era?

The most credible GTA V rumors lead toward an LA-based setting, in the modern-eta.

As for shares in Take-Two, Avid Bhatia, analyst for Sterne Agee believes that they may rocket again following the release of the trailer next week and predicts that it [GTA V] could become the biggest selling game of all-time, forecasting worldwide sales of 25 million units. 25 million may sound like a lot, but GTA IV sold 22 million units worldwide and took the franchises total global sales to an astounding 114 million units.

At first, I thought... well, yes. But, it would actually be quite the turn of events for GTA V to have a pre-1900s setting.
