A New Face for Money
Graphic Designer Richard Smith can think of one way to help the U.S. economy: designing new currency! Smith created the design above and has asked others to submit their designs to the Dollar Redesign Project. Winners will win a t-shirt, and have their entry posted on the Posterous blog. While the prize may be miniscule, it could turn into something more if enough people follow the project and want the U.S. currency to change. Who knows? Maybe Jack Nicholson, Barbie or Superman will be the new face for American currency. Check out some of the entries below to make your decision.

Submissions are quite appropriately due July 4, 2009. You can submit your ideas through e-mail to DollarsNoSense@ThinkCreateBelieve.com. There aren’t exactly any rules to what the designs can be, but inappropriate ones can be disqualified.
Michelle Haft’s design is so beautiful and creative – her perspective is so refreshing in a world otherwise dominated by ugly, and (dare I say it?) stereotypically masculine design sensibilities. I also enjoy Richard Smith’s and Bhavika Parekh’s bold ideas.
I say go with this:
