Devaluation of the American Dollar.

[ResearchMonkey]

Am I the only one who thinks this is good idea?

The worst publicity stunt of the year? Putting President Obama on a dollar bill is simply ridiculous


British graphic design firm Dowling Duncan has come up with a series of controversial ideas for the Dollar Redesign Project, an open competition run by New York designer Richard Smith (and not associated with the US government). According to their ambitious PR spiel: “we want to rebrand the US Dollar, rebuild financial confidence and revive our failing economy.”


The new garish multicolour notes conceived by the firm bear a striking stylistic resemblance to the Euro, and remove America’s Founding Fathers altogether. The company has proposed replacing George Washington with Barack Obama on the new dollar bill, and Benjamin Franklin with Franklin D. Roosevelt on the $100 dollar note.





I think I threw-up a little in my mouth

Start fucking with the design & it'll lose its recognition value.

Those would make lovely Euro-notes though

Devaluation of the American nation.

well they are right this country longer stands
for what the founding fathers intended so why
not re-brand it by putting a halfrican socialist
on our currency, how about Che Guevara for the 100?

They are thinking of bringing back the oldtimey food stamps?

Even food stamps, have gone to a card. So, why paper at all?
Heck, I thought paperless was the way to go now? (not)

It should be "Doscientos ameros" (not "Dos cien amero") and "Norteamérica" (not "Norte America").

All of the designs suck, and to call them suitable for euro bills is almost an insult.

 

[2minkey]

yeah they do pretty much blow ass. but then most 'mericans ain't got no taste.

 

[Gotholic]

Yeah, it is probably why the government is so against securing the border because in the end they want a North American Union.

 

[2minkey]

yeah, that's it. that's what inspired some random british graphic designer.

 

[Gonz]

See, even the British know when we've got a socialist in office.

 

[2minkey]

wow. can i quote you on that?

(done with your playground name-calling for the day? socialist! socialist! nyah nyah nyah!)

 

[catocom]

They've gotta change the money, if they expect to follow through on their
plan to stiff the debt holder countries, like China.

 

[Winky]

Hyer-inflation has worked everytime its been tried!

If the high heeled stiletto fits, wear it.

He is what he is. I'm just pointing out the obvious.

 

[jimpeel]

We need to dump the dollar completely and adopt the peso.

 

[2minkey]

He is what he is. I'm just pointing out the obvious.

no, he's certainly at the left end of american politics, but he's not a (whatever you called him), and by calling him that, you seem like a fruitcake that shouldn't be taken seriously. seriously, if y'all could stop undermining yourselves, you might get somewhere with your agenda.

and, in any case, pointing out the obvious is pretty dull.

Why the GD called it an Amero is beyond me... cute take on the "Euro", I suppose, but boht the Canadian and Americn currencies are called "Dollars"

Our is just more colourful and we have a $1 coin vs your $1bill and a $2 coin vs. your..well, you don't have a $2 bill anymore, eh.

American Dollar soon to be worthless

Professor Minks,
that comment really is intriguing
just what are the proper terms that Conservatives
could use that would further their agenda?

What is the correct term to denote the political
ideology of the current administration?

That was a great example of a parapraxis!

We will take over your shit

No one knew that was her underlying political belief.

I’m still trying to figure out where these people think
they have the power to do these things? Are we to blame
for allowing it to happen?
