US Currency Re-imagined to Celebrate Ideas, Not the Dead
- Duffless 12y agoThe $50 note looks awesome. Although, overall the designs are not the most practical looking. Have any of you seen the new Norwegian notes? -> http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/10/norways-new-banknotes-are-works-of-art/381240/ http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/10/nor...
- quesera 12y agoDo you mean practical in the sense of anti-fraud capabilities, or in the sense of likely-to-win-general approval? I think the designs are really great. Norway's are great too. I really wish Americans were more properly suspicious of tradition.
- Shofo 12y agoYeah I really like the $50 dollar note and the designs overall, but I'd agree they are not the most practical. I've seen those Norwegian notes, they look great.
- jgeorge 12y agoThat currency is offensive to the increasingly large number of Americans who do not or can not "work", or choose not to participate in the soul-destroying crapitalistic exchange of slave labour for artifically-backed so-called "currency". (Please don't downvote me, I don't actually feel that way, but that's the reaction I would expect from the current culture of the easily-offended.) I rather like them myself, though I agree they're a little on the impractical side. I do wish we'd consider something more radical of a design change one of these days, if for no other reason than to at least make the current counterfeiters have to go out and get new equipment.
