The US Treasury should just put Andrew Jackson on every bill to troll the internet.

 

[PBalfredo]

That money looks eerily dystopian.

No kidding. Especially the part where the artist separates the background element in the bills.

11/10 would use to buy black market cyberjack

 

[DrSlek]

You're lagging behind the rest of the world by 30 years, USA. Polymer bank notes are where it's at!

Also; while you're at it, don't you think it's time you switched to the metric system as well?

 

[sgjackson]

Same size as the current bills but go hog wild outside of that. The science designs are cool as shit.

 

[Tenzan]

If you go vertical i would like this set:

This one was good, a redesign of the euro:

 

[Junior Mint]

My main reason for the last one on my post as my favorite is if you look on the first side with the white house, underneath the number 100 there is braille for the blind idk i like that little addition on to it. Makes it more than a cosmetic redesign

It's pretty much just like Canadian money

 

[Croll]

I like the dead presidents - they have a certain timeless quality to them. These minimalist designs are better left to desktop wallpapers so that our children can't scoff at our early 21st century aesthetic sensibilities. I wouldn't mind having an astronaut in place of someone like Jackson but no need for the alien geometry.

 

[CharminUltra]

Can we just have little puzzles instead? Like, a different kind of puzzle for each denomination? Maybe mazes for $1 bills, riddles for $5, crosswords for $10, etc.

 

[Prinz Eugn]

If you go vertical i would like this set:

Marie Curie? She did visit the US, I guess.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Let's just stop being Americans and we can let another great nation take all the credit. We won't win anymore wars or celebrate the 4th. We'll have Google icons and Apple, the founders of social movements will have their name on all our schools and offices. No more pride in presidents and or anyone who fought harder than we did at a worse time in the world.

I'd rather have pride in a dead president than not have any at all.

The president use to be somebody and now they replace them with SJW symbolism. Why don't we just give in to other nations? Let's do that after this.

 

[DOWN]

Different sized bills is stupid as heck but they look gorgeous

 

[Volimar]

Oh God, now even our money will be in portrait mode.

[Suikoguy]

Different sized bills is stupid as heck but they look gorgeous

If you were blind, how would you tell the difference in denominations?

 

[Prinz Eugn]

Different sized bills is stupid as heck but they look gorgeous

Well, except they're great for blind people. Currently they have to hope whoever they're dealing with isn't an asshole.

 

[egruntz]

Meh, I really only like the astronaut one. The wave one is pretty dumb, the others I just don't care for.

Why are the bills differently sized? That'd get annoying.

Being vertical wouldn't necessarily bother me.

 

[Kjellson]

South African rand has the best notes.

 

[crimsondynamics]

No. I think my wallet is perfect and I bought it for it's small size and low profile.

I can't stand a big, bulky wallet. Makes me feel like this.

But it's not perfect because you are complaining about the bills sticking out. It's like complaining about socks that are too small. Your feet aren't going to change for your socks.

I'm just suggesting you get aa slightly larger version of that style of wallet. It's likely not designed for the denominations of the country you are currently residing in.

 

[Iksenpets]

That looks like librul yoorupean moneys to me. Will probably lead to dreaded inflation!

That said, I like our old president money. Except Jackson. Fuck that guy.

So having an astronaut on our bills means that we are no longer proud? gtfo

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Our money could be considered lazy because that is what the government wants. It's all about cheap and mass production. You can easily look back at the history of American money and it used to be a ton of different images etc. Up til around WWI then standardization kicked in.

I mean here's a 1918 $2 with a Battleship on it.

Those designs are stunning.

 

[Poodlestrike]

If you were blind, how would you tell the difference in denominations?

Well, except they're great for blind people. Currently they have to hope whoever they're dealing with isn't an asshole.

As long as we're moving to polymer bills, let's throw some braille on that shit. Changing the sizes is a pain.

 

[davepoobond]

If you were blind, how would you tell the difference in denominations?

same way they do now?

fold the bills, label them with braille, use a portable identifier, whatever else they do

 

[MC Safety]

1) One size.
2) Presidents, thank you.
3) E pluribus unum.

No Monopoly money and no feel-good currency celebrating minor historical figures.

 

[DedValve]

1) One size.
2) Presidents, thank you.
3) E pluribus unum.

No Monopoly money and no feel-good currency celebrating minor historical figures.

Who would you consider minor? Most reccomendations posted here are some of the most influential americans of al time...

 

[MC Safety]

Who would you consider minor? Most reccomendations posted here are some of the most influential americans of al time...

Of the candidates included on the vertical bills, I would consider none worthy for inclusion.

 

[Warm Machine]

Hate US money when I'm there. All the bills look the same in your wallet. Get some color and some modern materials otherwise I'm starting a conspiracy theory that the gubment is purposely subverting their own currency with counterfeits.

 

[Gragen]

Just get rid of Andrew Jackson and I'd be happy.

 

[Reverend Funk]

This is the kind of cyberpunk dystopian future money I've been looking forward to. Is there any way to make some kind of hologram pop out of these?

 

[Goldrush]

South African rand has the best notes.

I don't care what pictures is on there, but any new notes need to have different, bright colors. Every time I paid in cash, I always walked away with the nagging thought that I gave a ten beside a one.

 

[co1onel]

Pretty much anything would look better than the ugly designs we still use now.

 

[helloresolven]

Just get rid of Andrew Jackson and I'd be happy.

Yeah, but he hated the idea of a national bank, so it's a bit of a glorious "fuck you".

 

[Robot Pants]

Itd be nice, but Id want them all the same size

 

[The Sum of Zero]

I actually like it. They have this clean look to them. Well, maybe not the best term but it's the best way I can describe why I like the designs.

But yeah. They do need to all be the same size.

 

[blame space]

any would you make bills different sizes

 

[Raonak]

Looks cool. Vertical bills is a good idea considering money is generally exchanged vertically.

Different sizes is good for blind people. Though punch holes or something would be a good alternative.

 

[RustyNails]

I like the clean 2.0 look.

 

[secretanchitman]

They look awesome. Not sure about the vertical bills but great job to the artist who made these.

 

[DrSlek]

Why do people keep asking why the bills are different sizes? It's not obvious?

 

[Dartastic]

Good luck trying to get "In God We Trust" removed.

Also, the presidents are basically like America's version of saints.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I would definitely accept a new bill with an astronaut on it.
However do it in the regular style with

as the portrait.

 

[Robot Pants]

I'd kinda like three important US Figures howling at the moon myself.

 

[spazchicken]

If you go vertical i would like this set:

$20 and $50 are suspect. $50 especially.

Better than slave owners any day, though.

 

[adamsappel]

I like the designs, and even the verticality, but they're a little bland, colorwise.

What's a one dollar bill?

To be fair, if I came across a one in a stack of hundreds I'd look pretty incredulous too. Someone's got my $99!

 

[JCizzle]

No.

 

[zswordsman]

Just replace Jackson with the cool astronaut one and call it a day.

Mexico has different sized bank notes. It's whatever, never bothered me.

 

[Northeastmonk]

So having an astronaut on our bills means that we are no longer proud? gtfo

Save that for your checkbook.

That's an amazing accomplishment, really, but that feels like something you hand out at Space Camp. Moon Money

USD = Moon Money

Can I get change for this moon dollar?
Sure, here you go Space Cadet!

 

[Vermillion]

five dollar note?

nuh-uh it's a five dollar bill

Exactly. Fuck this un-American redesign. Can you even wash that money?

 

[Htown]

That's what I thought too...maybe its all the white/grey?

Plus, I'm not rich enough to fulfill my wish of only ever carrying those 50s....

it's all the "american worker" stuff at the bottom

makes it feel like propaganda and not just money

 

[Tansut]

These would all be great if I wanted to feel like a pretentious asshole everytime I pulled out my wallet to pay for something.

 

[mollipen]

I like them, but the moment I pull one out, I'm going to be expecting to be using it at a convenience store on the Moon colony. And the moment I'm actually just using it at some McDonalds here on crappy old Earth, I'm heartbroken.
