MArainman Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 09/28/2009 9:46 pm While traveling across Europe on my honeymoon over the summer, a number of people I talked to remarked that American banknotes are boring. Although I feel American currency is very dignified, it is quite bland compared to some other countries. I came across this site while aimlessly surfing tonight. It's called the Dollar ReDe$ign project. Artists (some better then others) submit patterns for $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 and $200 bills. Most of them are horrible but others aren't bad at all. Here's a link: http://richardsmith.posterous.com/ Or if you just want to see the bills: http://richardsmith.posterous.com/t...ollarredeign I think this one's kind of cool: Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 09/28/2009 10:05 pm I'd prefer to see the First and Second amendments rather than Seventh and Eighth. Big Time! Nevermind I found it! Edited by TNG 09/28/2009 10:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

paul Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 09/29/2009 4:29 pm I don't like the bill of rights printed on them. Mostly because of gun nuts and their second ammendment have spoiled the BOR for me. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 09/29/2009 6:01 pm Yeah, some of them are "out there" so to speak. But it is interesting to think about. If currency survives into the next decade, I would like to see some more creative designs. But not as much as I would like to see polymer notes replace the rag notes we have now.

malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 09/29/2009 6:16 pm I dont know how I feel about changing the notes but I have to admit that some of those designs are REALLY nice. And I agree some just make you say huh? Report this Post to the Staff
MArainman Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 09/30/2009 08:28 am I think it's time for change. Compared to the rest of the world, US currency just looks old. The BEP has been making a few changes but it seems like they're trying not to upset people by altering too much. I believe it's time for a full redesign with better anti-counterfeiting measures and features to assist the blind. The new design should be colorful and bold but still distinctive and dignified. Also, the designs should be chosen by people who know what they're doing. Not artists or politicians or the internet. I like the idea of placing important passages on the reverse but I'd be happy with just the first amendment. Once we do that, we'll have to lose the "In God We Trust." But let's not get political...

Brannenworks Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 10/01/2009 03:22 am Somebody once told me that US currency got boring when we got taken off the gold standard. Something to do with not wanting the public to lose faith in the value of the dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
motos Valued Member United States 310 Posts	Posted 10/02/2009 6:21 pm Makes me want to PS my own currency and see what I can do. I honestly think our money looks cool but the entire world it seems has a lot more beautiful money. Dont know if that was proper grammar... Report this Post to the Staff
DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 10/03/2009 01:19 am Wow! Why can't our currency look good again? (like at the 'turn from the 19th to the 20th century' period!) Report this Post to the Staff
