Not for me....I prefer the current designs...Must be getting old
Cheers, RickO
Nope.
HELL YEA. Awesome design and look. I would definitely collect these!
Look like postcards, not currency.
Are we changing to polymer notes like Canada? Not for me

Good as is...
I like the moon landing reverse. Sort of a modern day educational note.
They look like sales promotion items.
No.
I'd put a centerfold in them.
Interesting, but....no.
Anything to take my mind off the Federal Reserve...
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Just say NO! to politicians on money!
I'm not a fan of putting Dead Presidents on currency, but I really like the moon landing design
Yes I'm all for getting with the program and having currency that looks as nice as some of the other countries around the world.
I think I would jump every time I opened up my wallet
No... I much prefer the bills used back in 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and certainly before all the funny money that's used today. Same with coins. Pennies, nickels and quarters are a joke today. It's no wonder why so few younger folks are interested in numismatics.
I also wish they would start circulating $500 and $1000 bills again.
No, looks like the Australian plastic bills.

No way
No.
...I like money
Here's another concept. I like the idea. They spend the same either way.

I do not like the landscape done that way (standing up instead of laying down flat), but do not mind the designs themselves.
Change the $5 bill and $50 bill, not the $20.
Seems to be a very modern influence... The idea of capturing historical events is terrific idea. I would rather see it packaged in a more traditional design
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I love the layout and the complete change in look that catches us up to the rest of the world. As @coinkat states, it just needs more of a traditional style to it (not actual photos). Our currency of today is tired and lame now.
The New Ultimate Custom Dansco US Type Set Album.
Not for me as it stands with it drawn in the portrait style. I may be okay with it if the design were drawn in the landscape format.

it has a certain appeal and it seems most replies thus far reflect a resistance to any change, even a change to something that has been pretty static for about 80-90 years. change for the sake of change doesn't make sense, but change to a more durable material, aesthetically pleasing designs that reflect our History and core beliefs seem fine to me.
Yes the polymer note needs to happen to save money. I always like the educational note series and think a modern version of our successes would be fantastic
Complete revision of all plus addition of $200 and $500 denomination - design for all denominations based on 20th century themes, heroes, and events.
Elimination of cent thru quarter a new half dollar about half size of current dollar coin.
Absolutely not. It looks like foreign money. God forbid we keep some tradition.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
I would agree. And I think a horizontal orientation would be more appropriate.
That being said, I think all of the coins and currency currently in use should be redesigned. Not just state quarters and a few cosmetic changes. Back to the Saint-Gaudens era, but instead of modern computer-based sculpting, back to the human made stuff. Tired of looking at boring, mish mashy looking, non-silver versions of Jeff nickels, Roosevelt dimes, Wash quarters, etc. A hundred + years of Lincoln, nine decades of Washington, seven decades of Roosevelt = snooze time.
Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
I think they look pretty dang cool.

It's a single $20. bill. Showing obverse and reverse.
I gathered that, but was just stating that I like both sides.

Looks like plastic currency.
It probably is

I can just envision the commotion at all the retail outlets were these to come to pass.
I say use whatever design they want for stamps...and of course they do.
But currency is our money which we need to survive, and should simply stay the same for numerous reasons.
The government should stop trying to fix what ain't broke.
This is the only current reverse that I think is pretty cool.
It looks like it took a lot of skill/effort to design it so I guess we're out of luck nowadays.
My Saint Set
can you imagine opening currency redesign up in our current political environment! What an absolute cluster that would be.
Once the progressives were done beating the thing to death with the diversity stick we will have a trans Harriet Tubman twerking on the $10 bill.
No sale.
Loves me some shiny!
Interesting idea. It would have to grow on me a bit.

How long till political views rear more their ugly bottoms and render this thread locked?
People in this country want the govt to save money until it somehow affects them personally. But what I've noticed is, even though people lose their mindsover change, they tend to adjust pretty quick. But politicians have to make sure to win another election so things happen slower here than anywhere else on Earth.

A big yes!

I like it. It's time for a change.
Lander with moon/planet landscape background.
We’ll need these as international trade dollars when we have bus space craft service to the moon and Mars.
Looks like a movie poster for a sci-fi movie. And switching from landscape mode to portrait? Hmmm. Yes, vertical designs are cool, and fit in our cash drawers the right way, but....who's idea was this in the first place? Might we dig deeper than the 60's for something historic to put on our money? Or should we update into something really current and maybe have Lady Liberty looking at her cell phone?
