gee... like to see more changes inside the Economic Stability of USA..... if there is a deficit allowance every year or every 3 months for the Economy, then they will grow and survived from loss....

got to love the 310million altered states of America

I think these are beautiful, but I don't believe Obama deserves to be put on a bill yet.

This would just make us one step closer to the Amero.

Isn't it enough that they've redesign the existing bills and coins several times in the past decade already. Besides wouldn't they have to make new security measures now to protect the authenticity of the new bill designs first before they started printing them? That would set back their release into circulation by quite a bit I would think.
Unless they already have new security measures created or modified for the new bills, which that case means it's been in the works for a while now and all that's left is deciding the pretty pictures to plaster on them.

Only dead presidents can be on the bill as in postage stamps So BO can't be on it.

And why would Obama make it onto a bill? He has only served as president for two years and has done nothing to better our country. I don't want to here about his mandatory health insurance either.

If they can not change the value change the looks, heh?

I'll only back this if i get into some kind of millions-esque situation

first step in a long-range plan towards one world currency?

by getting people acclimated to this, they reduce resistance to the idea of changing our currency and begin to provide a smoother transition to the change, wait, change who can believe in?

nothing is ever what it seems anymore, there is always some corporate-owned, scheming, federal government incentive to power behind it all.

this looks like an add for a design conference.

"how much money do you have?" "Well I have 5 spacemans, 2 tepees, and a Roosevelt."

all we have to do to fix our economy is make our money pretty?

Heh. Thanks, Toyota. Limbaugh, Palin and Beck, huh? Sounds like either a crooked law firm or the Larry, Moe and Curly for a new generation...

I like the fact that we always want to put politicians on our money. Wait. No I don't.

I like the 100, and Obama will in the future I think be put on money. But not yet, and not as a replacement to George Washington.

Obama's head on the dollar bill? Lol, let the head exploding begin.

It certainly is more cost effective to keep what we have. But our adherence to the greenback is disappointing. Psychologically, it is a stable symbol, but it also says nothing of the future. I for one welcome a redesign. After all, it is worthless, so, it could at the very least look good.

These vertical bill designs are kind of sexy.

There is a problem with this idea. The mint does not take outside designs for paper money. Yes for coins, they will tap non mint artists; but for bills, the exacts and designs are all handled in house.

Those portraits on our currency are micro engraved and take 80 hours a piece. The exacts of the design may change, but the green back is here to stay.

Wooo! I got it! Lets outsource this to China too! Yeah boy howdy!

While I agree that spending money on designing money doesn't seem like a very good way of using tax dollars at the moment, I AM forced to admit that in a country with our incredible expertise in commercial art and design, the artistic quality of our money would render a sloth comatose. I am not sure we would even have to pay to have it done. Can you imagine what many/most artists or commercial designers would give to be able to say/put on their resume that they designed the billions of pieces of paper U.S. currency used all over the world?

I agree. We should now spend a billion dollars redesigning the dollar. We need to make it biodegradable. Wouldn’t want to clog the toilet after all. That way we can use it as toilet paper the moment the world stops pretending our dollar or anyone’s currency is actually worth something. Hey, toilet paper has value! That will make the dollar number one in the world again (for number two)! Don’t thank me, just doing my part as an American. Giggles!

The Illuminati is behind this... I just know it...

Is this a joke? Our money is in no need of a make over in this economic climate.

lol....teepee on the 5 note, thatll totally compensate the wrongs done to the natives

that money looks sexy...
way too sexy...
damnit, who put german hipsters in charge of designing our money?

really? we need to advertise money? make it more attractive? i must be getting old 'cause i don't see the good in spending money for this.

The New World Order is here....This is way bigger than what president is on any particular note..or what has obama done and all that....its about making u accept these awkward changes,ignoring whats really going on and seemlessly integrating it into your everyday lives....Enjoy!

Leave our Money the hell alone Europe. Keep your failing Euro and NWO crap to yourselves.

Is this a joke?

This is from the organization making the designs:
"It seems so obvious to us that the 'only' realistic way for a swift economic recovery is through a thorough, in-depth, rebranding scheme – starting with the redesign of the iconic US Dollar"

Yes, the reason why the US is tanking is because the dollar is ugly...
lol.

I love these designs.

i kinda like the bluebacks.

Obama, on the $1?! Better than that slave owner on it now, but still.... really?!

Im confused... why is the dollar in need of a redesign? Seems fine to me...

A redesign will do nothing for the economy, but on a graphic design note (pun intended), holy crap, those look amazing!!
The use of different sizes and colors help people who are visually impaired, and speak to how we "see" our country today.
Of course, there will be an uproar over who gets put on what bill, but if putting Reagan (or an image of the Tea Party) on a 20 will soothe the right-wingers, I'm for it.

Who cares what it looks like unless used as wallpaper.

A court ruled that U.S. currency was innaccessable to people with disabilities so I'd expect any new currency to be accessable.

Obama and FDR on the dollar bills would be perfect! We wouldn't have to worry about inflation. We wouldn't have to worry about deflation. Or counterfeiting. Or money laundering anymore.
Hope, Change and Love

I'm failing to see why Obama gets the honor of being on the "New dollar". He's been in term for how long? He's done exactly what for us that deserves this great notoriety? Whether you like Obama or not, there are far more worthier people to be on the dollar than this guy. This is idol worship.

Not to mention, can we really afford to revamp our currency? Money is money regardless of what it looks like. It's not a fashion statement. Sure, revamp for security reasons to prevent counterfeiting. (Isn't that what we just got done doing?)

Why are we trying so much to be like Europe when our founding fathers fought so hard to disconnect from them?

If you want to reinvent the dollar, how about you start with the budget first?
