Dollar ReDe$ign: Bhavika Parekh

“My idea is a simple graphic representation of the US flag in different colors. I believe this country is one nation with different cultures, different people from all over the world, different beliefs etc... in short ‘One Nation with many colors’. We are all responsible for making this country’s economy!”

Michelle Obama: New Face of Dollar Bill ! Are You Serious?

Clearly this is a fake, but it raises an interesting question, one which I’ll leave for the bloggers and commentators to debate. But if we were to redesign our currency who’s faces should appear, personally my money is still on Barbie (not Bush), but I’m certain the former at least will never happen.

Marbles: Make Money Fun Again! by Tim Milne

"Since the economy is going to hell in a hand cart, I wondered whether we might return to a more simplistic unit of currency. Make money fun again. No?"
Thanks Tim!

WSJ Acknowledges Need for Dollar ReDesign

Breaking News

As popular opinion continues to polarize the US over the economy, today the Wall Street Journal acknowledges the need to redesign the Dollar bill as a way forward: Lets "... help kick-start the US economy with a thorough in-depth re-branding scheme starting with the redesign of the US Dollar."

“People of America, Change is on its way ...”

Is it Time for Bill to Retire ?

Bills, Bills, Bills, Nothing but Bills.

John, via email, said ...
"... don't engrave $1.00 bills anymore! Why, because studies have shown, engraved bills have a shorter life span than coins ... However, studies also show that people are more inclined to part with their change than with their bills. So if you really want to stimulate the economy, print $2.00 or $3.00 bills and scrap the $1.00 bill.

In addition, as with any redesign, the paper utilized should be evaluated as well. Cranes has been supplying the paper forever which is impregnated with UV sensitive fibers. Why not switch to a synthetic like Tyvek that virtually lasts forever? It too could be formulated with "security watermarking" and thus virtually eliminated the need to 'retire' bills and constantly reprint. 

Finally, it is about time we 'retired' all of our current script and forced everyone to empty their mattresses in exchange for the new currency. A change of script would 'flush-out' all of that cash that moves without the personal or sales tax liability attached to it; just like they did in Germany right after the second world war."
