I have to admit - I LIKE this idea!
http://www.timesdispatch.com/news/l...2884b98.html

A+ to the teacher, Randy Wright (ironic name!), who is not ashamed in this day and age to teach kids REAL American history by studying the Constitution.

I'd love to see the Constitution in everyones' wallet.

That *is* a neat idea. I'd even be for breaking it up across several bills or denominations. :-)

We already have the Declaration of Independence on the $2 bill (heh albeit a picture of the signing...).

Sadly, I don't see it going anywhere. :-( $1 bills are eventually on their way out.

Already been done, folks! I submit the 1896 "Educational Note" entitled "History Instructing Youth."

Of course, the typeface of the Constitution at the feet of the Muse Of History might be a bit difficult for some of us to read...
Isn't this a gorgeous note, though? Regularly voted the most beautiful of US banknote designs.

Definitely a beautiful note! However, a legible copy sure would be good.

Can you imagine the trouble in DC right now if the bill of Rights was in everyone's hands! Bring it on!

That's really the reason I see this going nowhere for at least a little while.

On the actual note it is surprisingly legible.
