Redesign The Dollar

Recommended Posts

Not sure if addbot...

 

the only clear way to revive this global recession is to rebrand and redesign (the US dollar)

 

You seriously think that by making the US dollar bills look different, the recession will magically go away? You're insane.

It happens with a lot of brands, so why not the out-branded dollar?

 

Of course, it wouldn't work for true Communists, but for you Capitalists, maybe...

hahhahaha

 

Rebranding is used to boost interest in a tired old product, wouldn't a rebrand of cash it make people want to keep it and so less likely to want to part with it?

 

Take the $20 for example. I don't mind spending a Jackson, that guy was shady and so good riddance, but giving away a hero like MLK is probably like 10 years bad luck or something.

That's why you make the money non-green. Americans like their money green. They will spend it freely if it isn't, leading them into more debts.

LOOKS LIKE WE GOT OURSELVES A COMMIE BOYS

Somebody got the tar and feathers?

 

As a former commie, can I do the honors?

 

Also, yeah acouple designs have been floating around lately. Personally, I would like some more color variety, but some of these designs are just nutty.

 

Take:

DOLLAR.jpg

 

Yuck. Some ideas okay, but yuck. And of course, he'd get the one. Socialist supremo gets the hundred.

 

I would like to see an astronaut though. Maybe bills should have scenery on the back instead of dumbass DC buildings.

 

For example:

DES.jpg

 

That, and this has to be on some back of a bill:

warfare%20smaller%20rgb.jpg

 

 

 

That and having a variety of faces on different bills, like say 20s having all our 'ass kicker presidents' (Washington, Jackson, Teddy, Polk, etc). Another say, ones with civic achievements.

 

 

 

Also, Korona, what are you talking about. Jackson was the best president we ever had. Well besides Washington.

 

BTW, a lot of the reasons they give on the redesign site seem to me sarcastic/joking, but that they really do want to redesign it. I wouldn't mind. But I'd like some effort on fixing the debt too...

Because it's based on numbers:

1st African American President

5 biggest native American tribes

First 10 Amendments

20th Century America

The 50 states

The 100 days of FDR.

We don't need to change our currency, thank you very much.

 

Some of the designs submitted there are neat, most are laughable:

I'm also amused by how many of these bills feature Obama, and the irony of how many feature Native Americans.

As President Jackson was mediocre, but the rest of his life makes him an American legend. Being a good President isn't what gets you on a bill anyways - Franklin and Hamilton were never Presidents, and Grant was a terrible President.

I would puke if Jobs was on a bill. Some macfag obviously wanted to test our their leet photoshop skills.

 

imo, we need something still sticking to our formula, which is the men and the times, along with symbolism. Thats what a lot of these ideas lack.

 

I like that one with Washington and the Continental Congress in the background because its a man, and a time.

 

Nikola Tesla on a bill ftw!

 

1$ can be our pivotal leaders and their times (Washington and the Continental Congress)

 

5$ can be important cultural leaders and presidents (Franklin, Jefferson, Dred Scott, MLK Jr, etc)

 

10$ can perhaps be important people to the development of the country, technology wise (Tesla, Edison, various robber barons, etc)

 

$20 can be our military presidents and leaders (Washington already is on one, but say others like Jackson, Teddy R, Grant, Lee, Knox, Sherman, Patton, Abrams, etc)

 

$50 can be...I dunno

 

$100, I dunno

 

And $1000...I dunno.

Personally, I thought Bill Gates was far more likely to end up on... hey the Gates bill! lol...

@ Icon, oh Jackson was great, except for that Manifest Destiny / ethnic cleansing of the Indians thing. It's like Wolfgang Priklopil, by all reports a fine neighbour, great husband and all that. Buuut keeping Natascha Kampusch trapped in his basement kind of colours his good deeds.

I like my money to be the same dimensions and color, I'm not blind or retarded.

 

The primary reason is not for that. Its for counterfeit reasons.

Same dimensions, however, are a must. I hated that the most about being in Europe. Make all your freaking bills the same size, like us Canadians and Americans.

 

Anyway, I like the look of this one:

Im saying they should all be the same color as well, if all the different bills follow this color scheme I wouldn't mind it. I don't want to feel like I'm playing a board game when I go to the checkout.
