The worthless paper in your wallet needs a "facelift" apparently.

One UK design company's idea:

The $5

The $10 (the only one I cared for, obviously)

the 10 spot is actually pretty cool.

imagine being pulled over and refusing a search pointing to the bill of rights on your tenner.

cop?... "i'll take that sonny. now bend over."

Why can't we just do our own drawings on pieces of paper and use it as money?

Yes. Its offtopic, but I have always wondered why half-black half-white are considered black and not white.

And as someone said earlier the 10 one is very cool.

Those new 20s are going to go down really poorly at the strip clubs, I'm telling you. Maybe they're trying to get women into math and science in an incredibly roundabout way?

Their going to need bigger denominations than that. They might as well start with the $100 and go up from there.

You can, if you can convince enough people to accept it. Oklahomans did something similar-it's called the "Plenty".

I was also thinking how typical it was for them to throw Obama on the 1, they gave him a Peace Prize so why not keep inflating up his image? When it occurred to me that they'll be shoveling tons of these Obama-faced bills into the furnaces when hyperinflation hits, which will be terribly fitting.

I guess nobody told 'em over in the UK that one of the legal requirements for a person to appear on US currency is to be deceased. :rolleyes:

At least they got Obama's worth pegged appropriately. The $10 is not so bad except is makes the 4th amendment look like a government right instead of a restriction.

Those are horrid, however removing the word "dollar" is at least honest.

I like them. Americans might start recognizing the USD for the counterfeits they are.
