I know this is all over the internet, but, c'mon, I have to say something about it.

I for one, like it. I know some designers out there are hating on it. And most re designs in recent memory have been, umm, not so good. So I think people in general are not accepting of re designs, but this one makes sense. Nice work.

This is from one of my favorite blogs right now, Kitsune Noir

"...redesigns by Michael Tyznik, who I think did an amazing job of bridging the gap between design and potential security. His design includes ideas like a holographic strip, which not only makes it easier to tell the bills apart easier but could also be filled with a bevy of security features, I would assume. Inside the strip there are also embossed dots for the sight-impaired, something that current currency definitely doesn’t take into consideration.

This in my mind couldn’t be any better looking. It’s simple and bold while still giving a nod to the history of money in America. If you’ve happened to notice that there’s a lack of $1 you’re right, Michael suggests doing away with the $1 all together and replacing them with coins instead as it only has an average lifespan of 21 months. Kinda interesting, huh?"
