U.S. Currency Redesign
Vibrant, modern redesign of the $1-$100. New look embraces variation in color, dimension, and historical fact.

Information on money. I love it. No one would have any excuse for not knowing the bill of rights.
Of course, no way the right would let a set of money printed with FDR and Obama and no Reagan.
I like a lot of their ideas—making the bills vertical rather than horizontal, having them different sizes—but I think the $1 bill should still be ol’ Georgie. Obama’s just a wee too new to get his face on there. That, and people opposed to him would insist on paying in quarters.
I like the concept and design. I’ve always complained that blind people in America lack different sizes for the bill denominations. And I like taking out the Freemason stuff and putting interesting, neutral historical facts on the money instead.
Hate the idea of putting a current, sitting President on the dollar. The appearance of currency should have an element of timelessness to it, something weighty that exists outside of the crushing omnipresence of news images. Keep people like Obama and Reagan off there and use the iconic, historical figures like Washington and Lincoln if you’re going to put anyone on there at all.
I like the idea of different colors for the bills, but I can’t deny that it’s going to look incredibly fruity whenever a movie shows a gangster raining handfuls of this over a bed full of writhing hookers.
This is awesome – I am still struggling to differentiate with the damn monopoly’ money used over here.
