-Think About-
What does the design of U.S. currency reveal about the country?
What iconic American people, places, events might replace current imagery?
How might a redesigned currency change the way we perceive the U.S?

Practice
Use google images to find examples of 5-10 banknotes from around the world. Save images of currency designs you like. Using PowerPoint, Google Slides or Photoshop, arrange them on a slide.

Create
Re-design a U.S. currency note (front and back).
Use a subject/theme that’s different from the current focus on past presidents. The subject can be nature, a social issue, a historical event or anything you think would be appropriate for the format. Your ‘target audience’ is the entire country so your design should be nationally recognizable.
