I have to say that these comps for what a common icon in our culture could be are very compelling. They remind us that the old dollar, though sentimentally prestigious, is just that - old. It hasn't had a redesign in years, and compared to some other more plucky nations, we seem stuck in our ways. Could the US Government tap the creativity in America's graphic designers? I would really like to see that happen along with it being moderated through adequate use of crowdsourcing. And out the door in 3 weeks flat. That would be soooo very American.
