AM+A: Customized Currency

Aaron Marcus has proposed a "modest plan to save the US economy." His redesign of US currency involves the US Treasury Department allowing anyone's face to appear on the front of US currency and any corporate logo on the back, provided each sponsor pays $100 million to the US Treasury. If 7,000 wealthy people and corporations sign up worldwide, that would raise $700 billion for the US Government, about half the 2010 fiscal deficit or about the amount that the government paid for the recent economic bailout. This design project provides an incentive to wealthy individuals and companies to give part of their wealth to the US Government. Grandparents might want to see their grandchildren featured. Entertainment stars and political leaders could see their faces everywhere. This idea recognizes that one of the US' greatest exports is its US currency. See more:https://bamanda.com/
