“Here are the main ideas in this design: Money
and the color green are inextricably intertwined in American culture.
I think it'd be a mistake to remove green as the primary color.
Instead, each bill has a brightly-colored holographic strip embedded
into it which contains the denomination. The width of this strip also
changes with the denomination. This introduces an element which makes
each bill extremely easy to identify. There is also braille denoting
the bills' denomination on the holographic strip.
The idea of presidents being on money is also intrinsic in American
money, and I don't think that should change. One thing I definitely
don't want is the government deciding what cultural figures or
movements are the most important or "American." Instead, I think the
most important politicians should be on money. For the same reason, I
put government institutions on the bills, representing each of the
branches of government.
In addition, I think one of the most important things about America is
our Bill of Rights. I think it is probably the most important
information any citizen can have, and for that reason, it is printed
on the back of the bills. It is sometimes thought the amendments are
listed in order of importance, so it makes sense to have the first
ones on the most common bills and the last ones on the less common
bills.
Lastly, I changed the denominations of the bills. I think we need to
get rid of the penny, because they've gotten to the point that they're
more expensive to produce than they're worth. Instead, the coins would
be 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 50¢, $1, and $2. The coins can keep their current
design, and the $2 would be slightly thicker and larger than the $1,
with a shape similar to the UK 50p coin. I've added a $200 bill
because the $500 is entirely impractical, but the 200 € banknote is in
general circulation and I think a $200 could be useful.”
