Richard Smith has initiated the Dollar Rede$ign Project. The project is a hypothetical design exercise to redesign American currency and is picking up steam on the internet. (He was recently inteviewed on Fox News (Faux News?) about it)… There are tons of submissions ranging from very serious, well designed solutions, to playful Barbie-doll-ars.
The American Dollar has not truly been redesigned since about the 1930s. The Dollar ReDe$ign Project is your opportunity to theoretically ‘change’ that.

Submissions are accepted until July 4th. See the project info and how to submit here, and the submissions here. A few notable entries are after the jump…
