I think the $1 bill is pretty "spanky"!

[raybbr]

I kind of like this one...

[Windflier]

As long as there's a design competition for new bills going on, I'll throw this one in for consideration...

The commies always love to emulate Europe. There is nothing wrong with the greenback. The lefties simply want to use it as yet another platform to further their agenda, and the choices I've seen presented by this moron only serves to reinforce my belief.

I think the dollar’s problems have less to do with it’s appearance and more to do with those trillion dollar budget deficts projected for the next several years.

[politicalmerc]

I like the ones with Obama on the ONE. Is he planning on keeling over or something so he can be on the Money?

[exit82]

What they have not told you is that one NEW dollar will be equal to TEN old ones.

[RedMDer]

Is this a back door way of removing “IN GOD WE TRUST”

[Talisker]

It’s a globalization thing. They want to get all of the currency the same, so they’re working with general concepts - change the size, add color, change the placement and shapes of the illustrations, etc.

Then one day, magically, why, all the currencies are SO close to each other, why don’t we just have one, hmmm? I mean, after all, they almost look the same anyway, so why not? And a poll was taken from Women’s Daily that shows how convenient all the different colors are. And they’re prettier, too, and more appealing to women, finally, after hundreds of years of having to deal with ugly green male-dominated money design.

Oh and look - there’s an iPod App for the new money, too!

Design all they want; won’t be long that the dollar bill will worseless as currency but fabulous as an art collectible....=.=

I kind of like just leaving well enough alone.

This is dumb and a waste of time.

What we have is what we need, we just need gold to back it and to get rid of the federal reserve.

“The American dollar is in bad need of a makeover. “

Faulty premise. Just another unnecessary expense. Stop the insanity and leave the dollar alone.

Probably a reaction to the lawsuit they lost to take “In God We Trust” off the money, so now they trump up some other way to get what they want.

[pnh102]

Where’s “In God We Trust.” Lemme guess, it is “printed” on the edges of the bills, just like with those stupid Presidential Dollar Coins, out of view.

[mrsmith]

Before he leaves office Obama has an obligation to make dollars soft, strong, and absorbent.

[Right Wing Assault]

The American dollar is in bad need of a makeover.

Why, are people counterfeiting them to buy a gummi bear?

[discostu]

Very European. I think they should just stop screwing with it. They’ve been tweaking the bills and coins incessantly since the Clinton administration and it’s just getting stupid. They say it’s to make it harder for counterfeiters, but when you’ve got so many designs out there nobody can keep track anymore I think it helps them, all you need to tell a clerk is “it’s the new series” and you can probably pass off a kid’s drawing of a 20.

The Mint wants to do away with the $1 bill because it’s not as economical as the others. They print the $2 because they have to by law. They’ve redesigned the $5 and up, they need to do the $1 and $2 bills too.
