Campaign to ReDe$ign the US Dollar
The American Dollar has not truly been redesigned since about the 1930s. With 'the economy bottoming out,' we believe it's time to go back to the drawing board and 'start from scratch.'
Why? A piece of currency is 'the ultimate symbol.' At its best, a banknote distills a country's vision, values and the heritage that make it unique. 'A more transparent, rational financial system deserves money that looks the part. With our financial system in crisis, the time is right to redesign the currency of the United States.'
WHAT CAN YOU DO
The more noise we make, the more people will listen and actually take our initiative seriously – and we want to make so much noise that our President will hear us, put real change into action, and turn our dream into reality. But we’ll need at least a million names before we can take this to the White House and therefore urge you to add your name to our petition below and share this link with your friends.
Please, let everyone you know and who they know, know, how important this cause is.
Thank you.
Yours truly, Richard Smith, Campaign President

I would love the bills to be redesigned. Hearing from Roman Mars on 99% invisible, it really inspired me to want a change.
We need to redesign everything from $5 on up, but GET RID of the wasteful $1 bill and introduce a redesigned $2 bill or new $2 coin. Every other major country on the planet has successfully taken these steps and it hasn't brought civilization to a halt as the fear-mongers claim. Get us out of the 19th century and into the 21st!!

Finally someone doing something about this. The dollar is just fugly and outdated.
Our money looks so boring compared to Europe or Australia. Can we please get some actual color and modern security features? It is decades overdue.
Great cause! Keep fighting.
Why haven't we done something about the state of our money yet?
