Not an Obama fan personally, but he has made history being the first black president so he does have a place.

Your unwanted ugly Obamadollars have a safe caring home with me, I'll take them off all of your hands!

I like the concept of the vertical bills. It makes SO much sense.

The design I care less about. I do agree putting obama on a bill is insulting to the money itself. The founding fathers and the major achievements of the nation should be on the bills not a media-hyped president.

The image along with the quote is just perfect. It fully represents the nation and its ideals when read to anyone not from the US.

In fact, if it were me i'd make the bills be varied per bill type. That is, assign each bill denomination a theme and print different variations of it.. just like there are different Quarter coins, one per state.

$1 bill: Founding Fathers (self explanatory)
$5 bill: National Monuments (white house, etc)
$10 bill: Images of the Nation (landscapes)
$20 bill: Notable Americans (historic..aka Martin Luther King JR,Einstein,Tesla,JFK,R.Waldo Emerson,Native american notables, etc)
$50 bill: Achievements of the Nation (Independence,Emancipation, moon landing,First in Flight,breaking the sound barrier,etc)
$100 bill: United States (one bill per state, each bill showing its location in the US)

I think Obama is trying to start another revolution.  He continues to do things the American people doesn't like, and it's with a purpose.

he will cement his place in history when he finishes making the US into the very enemy so many of our veterans fought against many many years ago.

Guys!  Seriously! STFU with the politics!  These are NOT actual designs being considered by the federal reserve so get you panties out of a bunch!

If you want to suggest who you think should be on a bill, then fine... but keep your comments to yourself about who you think should NOT be on a bill.  This is pretty cool looking stuff and I'd hate to see this thread get locked because some people can't keep their crap together.


On topic... I would like to see the size of the bills change with their value... so you could tell them apart by feel.   I've done quite a bit of work with blind veterans, and one of their most common complaints has been having to trust other people to be honest when they are paying for something.  Lots of the guys wanted different sized bills so they could tell them apart... I thought that was a pretty cool idea.

Our bills have Brail dots on them for the visual impaired.

Nice thing about coloured bills is that in a dark bar one knows what one is giving to the bar tender.

oh Btw isn't it illegal to put a living president on a currency?

Yes, it is against federal law to put any living president on any currency.

The only living American president to appear on any currency was CSA president Jefferson Davis, which even then caused controversy.

Technically not an American president... well, let me rephrase, not a President of the United States.  But still an interesting factoid ChickenHawk
