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 “Uncle Sam is outdated,” said Axelrod.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.
The Obama dollar is great! Nice blog posting! I love it!! Thanks! – Delray Beach SEO
My thoughts exactly. Thanks for sharing.
You will learn what the portrait of Obama could represent.
Yup..Your Face in his A**
The Obama bill anchors their sweeping concept for redesigning U.S
I guess it makes sense since the dollar bill's going to be worth ZIP not too long from now
I heard he was hoping to be on the hundred dollar bill! LOL
" NO THANKS"………I'll take a check !
i agree that the american dollar badly needs a "makeover" but i was expecting a more significant and relevant makeover than a change on the face of the bill.
And you are a Meat Head….(DEAD FROM THE NECK UP !!!!!! )
i don't agree to makeover the design of dollar.because the new change of dollar may effect of international market.
The new designing concept about dollar is a very good steps by Obama. I support it.
You…LEAVE AMERICA NOW !!
If I had that Simian on any of the cash in my pocket, I'd put it in a jar, then deposit it into my bank account when the jar was full. I'd refuse it if I could, and ask for change on anything I bought, or strictly use a debit card. I hope this is a joke webpage.
I was thinking the same thing. I really hope this is a hoax. I don't plan on carrying anything with that man's picture on it. He thinks he's better than Washington and Jefferson? Not even in HIS dreams.
If irt has his picture on it. It won’t be worth a penny we need to put a picture of somthing that means a lot to all of us not just his EGO
don't feel the OBAMA should be on the dollar I feel the people that are in the military should be they are the people that protect us
then a whole lot of presidents dont deserve to be on a bill!!!
Typo..written October 2011 stating circulation June 2011…so im guessing its June 2012
I thought only dead presidents with the exeption of Ben Franklin were allowed on currency. They redid the currency not too long ago, and they want to change it again?
I will be proud to put that new dollar in usage. It's about time we had a new design for toilet paper.
I don't agree that Obama should be on the new one dollar bill. This is a bad decision by the department of defense.

Our economy is not good at this time. To redesign and print these bills will cost the American taxpayer. This is just another one of Obama's ways to make the United States a third world country.
can't wait
GET BENT !!!
IT'S CALLED "NEW WORLD ORDER' PEOPLE…………HELLO?
