There is a website devoted to gathering ideas on redesigning the US dollar, and is allowing people to submit ideas. I have to say, there are some REALLY good submissions.

 

This site has collected some of the best, some of the worst, and some of the oddest. but over all, some REALLY interesting ideas.

The one with Jack Nicholson would be awesome.

I kinda like that last one but I'm not a big fan of other countries' rainbow colored paper money that looks like it should belong to some board game, so i'm pretty content with what we have. I prefer multiple designs on coins.

I'm one of those "if it ain't broke" type of people.

I think that by court ruling our money actually has been determined to be broke, because the blind have no way of knowing what denomination they're holding if everything is the same size.

 

I think the reason they're constantly trying to add color has to do with the difficulty of copying it as well, which would be another type of broke-ness.

I agree. The last one is a fair option.

 

The first pic? God, no.

Yea. I guess it wasn't funny. I better go back to Letterman's writers and tell them they suck. It's the saying "the blind leading the blind" in DC...

 

Bud dump bump bu.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzt (fizzle).

The heck with currency. Lets bring back the bartering system.

I like the design of my money just the way it is. So do the people who like to make counterfeit bills.

What is that image in the top one supposed to be? Is this the gantry we all walk down and jump off, like a metaphor for the economy?

It's too hard to keep live chickens in your coat on the way to Game Stop.

omg, dude, trade an egg or two for a portable chicken cage or something.

i kinda dig this idea... i'd love to see it redesigned. could be very cool.

Belgian wheat beer, swiss chocolate, german pretzels, french pastries etc...

I'll take American beer over Belgian Beer. Our variety can't be beat.

Honest question, but I wonder how much it would cost to dramatically overhaul our paper currency?
