What Would U.S. Money Look Like, Given the Proper Attention of an Industrial Designer?

[lost in melb.]

The $2 bill, while it exists and is still printed, is rare to find in actual circulation. They've tried multiple times to replace the $1 bill with coins, but people here hate it (I'm in favor of going to a coin). It's more economical as the average life of paper currency is between 18 and 24 months and the average lifespan of a coin is at least 30 years. The only way to do it is to just make the change and screw people whining about it. They would get over it soon enough.

I agree, just do it. $1 is of so little value nowadays anyhow.
