I like it. I like it a lot.
But, I’ve gotta admit that I’m old fashioned, and still like our traditional currency better.
I could get used to that $1 bill, though.
I see one of the suggestions is for Barack Obama on the one dollar bill, and another is for Sacajawea on the fifty.
Me too, at least it has the dignity of showing our forefathers on it.
Me too, nice blend of modern and traditional.
Looks like a Euro note. No thank you!!!
The existing US currency is classic, well recognized, and perfectly useful.
Looking at the submissions, that is the best and most respectful of the nation’s history. However they all suffer the defect of lot looking like American money. The change is too radical when it really should be more evolutionary. The changes on the $5, $10 and $20 are jarring enough, introduce these and people won’t know what their money is supposed to look like.
As a side note, I’ve come to the opinion that they should just stop printing $1 bills and switch to coins only and at the same time should discontinue, not just the penny, but also the nickel and maybe the dime or quarter. When the half penny was discontinued in 1857 it was worth a little more than a dime is now.
Think about what can you buy with a quarter? It is good for nothing but change and dime, nickel and penny are worth even less. Frankly, they aren’t even worth the effort it takes to count them, exchange them and carry them around. Lots of cost savings for the mint if we all just recognize that inflation has already rendered most coin change worthless even before the inflationary effects of all the recent stimulus borrowing and spending have hit the economy.
