snip OH NO!!! I'm not suggesting kids design our paper notes, look what happened to the state quarters when kids designs ended up on the quarters YUK!. I like a lot of the artistic designs on the notes from the 1800s and would like to see that type of quality on our modern US notes. I don't feel there is any real effort put into the art aspect in our modern notes, yet they pat themselves on the back for creating what essentially is the same $50 bill with a larger portrait image with a colorised background. I know any change to our notes are better than nothing. I really believe if they produced a modern note with the same artistic beauty as say the educational notes a lot of new people would become paper money collectors and that would be a boost to the paper money hobby.
