[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;24910759]He deserves to be on a bill waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than Jackson does. (Though still not really)[/QUOTE] No he doesn't. Grant might have been a good general, but as a president he basically just sat on his ass and watched his party get overrun with corruption and apathy and let everything it fought to get passed during reconstruction fall to pieces. And it stayed like that all the way until Theodore Roosevelt's presidency.
I thought the dollar looked awesome as it is. New designs look shit.

[QUOTE=Sega Saturn;24921121]Here's my picks: $100 - Alexander Hamilton $50 - Benjamin Franklin [b]$20 - George Washington[/b] $10 - Abraham Lincoln $5 - Franklin Roosevelt [b]$1 - John F. Kennedy[/b] 25¢ - Theodore Roosevelt 10¢ - Woodrow Wilson 5¢ - Dwight D. Eisenhower 1¢ - Harry S. Truman[/QUOTE] Fucking this.
Current bills are fine the way they are, no sense in changing them.
I'm probably late but, the US government/treasurey is in no way endorsing or enflunicng this "Rede$ign project" thing, they have absolutely nothing to do with it. If the dollar does get redesigned, I'm 99.9% positive Obama won't be put on one of them. Personally I think we shouldn't have anyone on our money. $1 - Bald Eagle $5 - Hollywood Sign $10 - Golden Gate Bridge $20 - Jefferson Memorial $50 - Empire State building or Statue of liberty $100 - Washington Momnument All with the vertical design and color coded.
I like the far-above idea, put Carl Sagan on there.
Don't look too good, but it's better than what we have now, a simple picture of someone rather than some weird pyramid bullshit.
[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;24907792]The bills are colour-coded in Canada and it's a fucking godsend when you're rummaging through your wallet. Need a $5? Just grab the blue one. $20? Go for the green one. Simple.[/QUOTE] Aye, what he said^ Look at these: [IMG]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YW0D-JgM-bU/SXdKuU5y41I/AAAAAAAADDg/PYML1Fv0nV8/s400/265px-Canadian_bills2.jpg[/IMG] Now compare them to these butt ugly bills: [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/USDnotes.png/690px-USDnotes.png[/IMG]
I think mixture of the first and the last design would be the best in my opinion. Oh and I don't think Obama should be on the money.
atop spending taxpayer money on bullshit like this. keep everything the same
So what did Kennedy do so great that should get him on a bill? Was it when he tried to overthrow another country? Or when he got his head blown off by some jaded communist?
[QUOTE=aydin690;24926197][IMG_thumb]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/USDnotes.png/690px-USDnotes.png[/IMG_thumb][/QUOTE] I don't remember there being a Two Dollar bill. I guess we hardly ever use them. Also, Grant reminds me of Lewboski.
I like the vertical design on the first one but I don't like how they're different sizes.. makes it inconvenient.

Obama on the 1 dollar bill instead of Washington? Gotta be kidding me.
[QUOTE=Ridge;24926885]So what did Kennedy do so great that should get him on a bill? Was it when he tried to overthrow another country?

He didn't botch up the Cuban Missile Crisis when he could have easily ordered the army to invade, and he funded NASA and tasked them to land a man on the Moon, which they did in 1969 to claim a victory in the Space Race.
[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;24907775]You guys should redesign your $1 bills so they are small, round, and made out of metal[/QUOTE] I fucking hate having coins instead of paper money it sucks dick. It makes my wallet too heavy.

congrats on putting those native americans you spent years slowly raping out of existance on your filthy filthy blood money, guys. you must be so proud.
They should just stick with the old format except make them plastic instead of paper.
[QUOTE=The Mighty Boatman;24930493]congrats on putting those native americans you spent years slowly raping out of existance on your filthy filthy blood money, guys. you must be so proud.[/QUOTE] Yes because those of us born in the last 50 years had anything to do with that.

[QUOTE=nevaeh;24907477]Obama on the $1 bill...really? Vertical design is kind of cool though.[/QUOTE] He was the first black president, right? I wouldn't see anything wrong with that.
The greenbacks in America have to much iconic-ism to them. Plus the whole green=money thing in America can apply directly to the bills themselves. The change isn't needed, especially in the time like this.
[QUOTE=PEn1s lol;24930332]The Russians won by putting the first man and object in space first and the first space station. Russians-3 Americans-1[/QUOTE] The Space Race was a political battle as well as a scientific one. The Americans won the political side of it. Although the scientific achievements were mostly accomplished by the Soviets first, they never perfected the technology to land on the Moon, like we did. By the end of it, America had beaten the Soviet Union in technological terms as well.
These are awesome looking! (mostly because of the colors, but still!)
Obama on the dollar bill? Fuck off.
Remade it with 30seconds of paint lol. Not meant to be offensive, just a joke. [IMG]http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad189/ejonkou/lawlamericanhistor.jpg[/IMG]
It would ruin our little nicknames. "Greenbacks, green, Franklins..."
