I couldn’t agree more. US money is so boring and ugly compared to other countries’ currency designs. We actually just had this as a project in my intro class and it was a lot of fun researching and creating all of it. glad to see this posted here…very well timed.

i like the us dollar tbh, i live in the netherlands and since we got the euro, i though what is this for cheesy wannabee futuristic look for money, our old valuta the “gulden” looked way much better imo, i like the 2 tone us dollar because it has this oldskool look, geheh.. its only my opinion though

Don’t forget the Aussie dollar! They’re virtually indestructible, irreproducible and in my opinion very attractive. They’ve even got this slick little transparent window in them.

For me there are few currencies as iconic as the US dollar. Whilst there are a lot of countries showing creativity in their currency (Dutch 5 Euro coin springs to mind: http://infosthetics.com/archives/2008/11/dutch_architecture_5_euro_coin_design.html), whether these will stand the test of time like the dollar coins and notes is another matter.

To me these examples just look like vouchers that you’d get at a store, although welcome people looking creatively at currency.

Saying that, with our governments both sides of the pond being quite creative with currency and seemingly printing money at will, what’s to stop us having a go ;)

Will I be able to buy myself a new phaser with that money?

Will Jem & the Rockers be using this money to purchase new gear at the mall? If not, I can’t really see who might want to carry this putrid crap around in their pockets. The U.S. dollar, as it has evolved, has remained the most distinctive and unique bill that I am aware of. Also, what’s with the mock tag line, “One Nation from Many People” – lame!

I think this design is beautiful! But I do agree that I like the purple on our fives. I got one of the old $20’s the other day and almost didn’t recognize it anymore, but there was something nice about it just being the two tone also…

That’s Jem and the HOLOGRAMS D. Bowie. Shame on you.

I always thought it would be nice to get some more refined US currency designs but on the other hand I think they definitely have to stay green (well, green and black). It’s a part of our language now.

Those designs are absolutely horrid. BLECCH!

The UK notes are beautiful, but I don’t see how the above designs, which are completely void of character, relate to them in any way. And despite the great design of the pound notes, spending some time in England made me nostalgic for US dollar bills. The uniform size and color (well, minus the new purple and pink bits), the intricate illustrations and dignified and somewhat mystic feel still stands true for me. Other currencies are so interesting to look at, and there are some out there that are better designed and more creative, but there’s a lot to be said for the US bills.

As a Canadian, I like our money coloured. It’s handy when you open your wallet and see exactly how much money you have just by looking at the edges.

So, colours are good, and useful. The designs above, as mentioned countless times above, look more like gift cards.

Needs more Helvetica, lol.

Hi Scott, here in the Ireland (Northern) a bank here created ‘plastic’ £5 notes, they were soft and couldn’t be torn. They had a nice design with transparent areas. Sadly they stopped producing them as they were to expensive to make. Though they are still in circulation.

sorry, but these are kind of gross :/

Just blame it on the tiny owl in the top corner of the dollar bill, its all their fault.
