nerkmid:

i think there’s one person in every history class that asks why we can’t just print more money

Short answer: printing more money decreases the value of said money. The money we print is mainly to replace old bills slash coinage, not to give ourselves new money. (Plus other reasons.)

What If? U.S. Currency of the Day:Dowling Duncan’s submission to Richard Smith’s ongoing Dollar ReDe$ign Project combines a vertical format with varied bill sizes and facts about American history and culture.
While the bills are aesthetically pleasing, don’t most of us use plastic anyway?
The rest of the submissions can be found here.

I have several things to say about this…
There’s nothing here to help the blind. Sure the different sizes are good, but only when you have something to compare them to. They need to have their numbers embellished so that they can be felt.
The colors are horrible in my opinion. People are used to green money, and that’s how it should stay. Maybe go with some different shades of green, with darkest being the largest amount.
These are some terrible image choices. The money looks cluttered and busy. I really liked having the monuments on the money, and this way we can add new ones like the (soon-to-be-decommisioned) Washington Monument (fuck-you-I’ll-be-here-forever) Grand Canyon.
The money should be vertical on one side and horizontal on the other. Get the best of both worlds.

RIP Society of the Day: Former Duke Energy CEO Bill Johnson made out like a bandit after resigning from his position with the company — 24 hours after assuming the head honcho role. Johnson submitted his letter of resignation the first day on the job, and is now qualified to receive up to $44.4 million in compensation, as long as he doesn’t disparage the company and the board decides he resigned for “good reasons.”
That list of reasons probably contains about 44.4 million bullet points.

This is so saddening. :(
