WASHINGTON – The White House has approved the redesign of U.S. currency. Barack Obama will be on the new dollar bill.
The Obama Administration feels that the American dollar is in bad need of a makeover. They have partnered with the Dollar ReDe$ign Project to pick a new design for U.S. currency. Currently, the design that the administration likes best was done by Dowling Duncan (a British duo), which features a unique vertical design. It also features President Obama on the one dollar bill.
“We love the Dowling Duncan look. They’ve come up with a creative design and put President Obama where he belongs… on number 1,” said David Axelrod, Senior Adviser to President Obama.
The Dollar Redesign Project was organized by creative strategy consultant Richard Smith. He is still soliciting ideas for the dollar bill of the future. “Our great ‘rival’, the Euro, looks so spanky in comparison it seems the only clear way to revive this global recession is to rebrand and redesign,” the project notes on its website.
Here’s the web site for The Dollar Redesign Project.
“Don’t waste your time submitting a design, it’s a done deal,” said Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff. The President wants “change” in the currency and we’ve unanimously picked Dowling Duncan’s work. Fed Chairman, Benjamin Bernanke, has signed off on our choice for the redesign. We intend to have the money in circulation by December, 2012.”
Emanuel went on to say that there are plans to redo U.S. coins as well. “We don’t need a complete redesign of our coins, but we do want to put President Obama on the penny and move President Lincoln to the nickel. Thomas Jefferson, who was on the nickel, will be… discontinued.” Republican Congressman Paul Ryan suggested President Obama be put on both the “nickel and dime” instead of the penny.
Another American icon might also be replaced. “Uncle Sam is outdated,” said Axelrod. “We need to update this icon as well. It will now be Uncle Barack.”
Republicans are apoplectic about the changes the Administration is proposing. “They won’t get this passed when we get control of the house,” said Minority Leader John Boehner. “Typical Republicans, they want to block everything, even a little meaningless design issue,” said Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. “It doesn’t matter what they think, we’re going to pass this and every American will be carrying Obama dollars in their wallets and purses come December, 2012.”
FYI: The Obama dollar will reportedly be worth $0.47.

Is this true I mean really why would you want to remove an American icon (George Washington) he is the who made us who we are and nobody can change that.
is this for real and when will it start?
Current wants to style United states money.For this purpose they selected Dowling Duncan's (a English duo) style.The style was innovative.So Bob Axelrod prefers it and it was organized by Rich Cruz.In the new style they want to put Barack obama on the cent.Uncle Sam is also need to upgrade by dad Barack.Republicans design a issue.But presenter said every United states need to bring Barack obama money.
Hello there, Tidy article. Likely to situation together with your web page in website explorer, would likely analyze this particular? For example ‘s still the marketplace boss in addition to a huge component of people may overlook your excellent crafting just for this problem.
obama on the dollar bill is ridiculous!
I think to remove an icon like George Washington on a dollar bill would be crazy!
This is unlikely to ever take effect in my opinion.
iTS PERFECT IM ALL FOR OBAMA ON THE ONE DOLLAR BILL . iN TWO YEARS THE ONE DOLLAR BILL WILL BE WORTHLESS JUST LIKE oBAMA
If I remember right, someone can be portrayed on United States currency ONLY if the year they are portrayed on the money is 2+ YEARS after their death. As far as I know, Obama is still alive, so this is just not going to happen.
As an extra note, George Washington will never be taken off our 1 dollar bill (as long as we have one!) because he is such an important U.S. figure that taking him off would be just flat-out controversial.
One last thing. For all you Americans out there, we know all too well that Obama couldn't surpass the greatness of Mr. George Washington.
ohhhhh how precious steve finally got a brain
