I believe that the currency needs to conform to new Americans With Disabilities Act rulings and the different denominations identifiable by touch. These are pleasant but I think they are too revolutionary and not sufficiently evolutionary. Earlier comments have liked a border similar to that in current bills, and there are issues relating to security that need to be addressed.

Still, they are interesting work and I hope someone at Treasury notes them.

i like the introduction of color and the variation in size of the colored bands for different notes, but the colors picked are way too out there for united states currency. these colors make me think more along the lines of rave fliers. these are nowhere near conservative enough to evoke the sense of trust and tradition that currency is based on.

from a design perspective, i also think having the quotes monopolize the majority of the print area on the back looks awkward.

Also, the photographs used are terrible! I completely agree with Dr. Oh No’s comment about antiquity.

I’m not sure about these. Why does the design at the moment ALWAYS have to be so simple and “clean”. It works on packaging etc, but here it just seems childlike. It looks like monopoly money.

Am I the only one that finds these atrocious? Not from a design sense (the front-sides are rather fetching), but from what I expect my money to invoke/evoke. I like bills that maintain a level of antiquity, and these completely dash any resemblance of the past.

I personally love the fact that US bills only have one dominant ink. Accent the hell out of that motif all you want, but please to change it too much.
