HuskyCaucasian Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) 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.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
