Why U.S. Banknotes Should Be Redesigned

I go over the progressive and artistic qualities of various foreign banknotes to show why the U.S. should follow suit and update its banknotes to reflect the diversity of its own people, wildlife, geography, etc.
00:00:00 Introduction
00:06:11 U.S. Banknote Examples
00:11:47 Foreign Banknote Examples
00:16:58 Features for the Blind & Visually Impaired
00:20:16 Women Featured on Foreign Banknotes
00:23:30 Non-political Figures on Foreign Banknotes
00:27:07 Significant Wildlife, Plants, Landscapes, etc.
00:32:55 The Colors of Foreign Banknotes
00:34:22 Rough Ideas for Updating the U.S. Banknotes
My relaxing ASMR World Currency videos: • World Currencies ASMR ...
Update: I may have misspoken in regards to whether or not current U.S. banknotes include features for the visually impaired and blind. Aside from any tactile features that may or may not exist, there is a device called "iBill" which is a talking banknote identifier. However, all U.S. banknotes are the same size, so it may be ideal for the U.S. to also adopt the size differences practiced by other countries which may also help aid the blind & visually impaired in determining the different banknotes.

    The 10 Dollar Bill features Alexander Hamilton. He was one of the chief architects for the financial system in the United States, which is the reason why the country has a universal currency. According to some historians, had the system not been in place certain state governments would have made their own currencies which would make trade and commerce more difficult.

In the United States, design has not changed for about 70 years. Unfortunately, the same can be said about Russia. I hate our banknote designs. Russia has issued 3 commemorative banknotes and 2 new denominations in 25 years !!! I'm glad you made a video about banknotes.

They're really excellent, they have braille features, along with artwork, historical quotes and a plethora of security features. They actually held a public vote for who we'd like to see on the bank notes. They gave us categories for each individual bank note eg. politics, sciences, arts etc. and then we voted on the most popular nominations. In the end, we chose Churchill, Jane Austen, Turner and Alan Turing.

    The nice thing about the Swedish notes is that none of them have "political figures", the 20kr has of course Astrid lindgren, writer, the 50 has evert Taube who is a composer, the 100 which has Greta garbo who is an actress, the 200 which has Ingmar bergman who is a director, the 500 wich has Birgit Nilsson who is a singer and last but not least the 1000kr Bill which has Dag Hammarskjöld who is a UN generalsecretary and commissioner of the Swedish academy.

    Now that you mention it, just having presidents and government buildings is kind of boring, and definitely leaves out a large portion of other U.S. History. But I think U.S. dollar bills being so iconic is kind of because these images are the most powerful in our country. They're shoved in our faces like that.

    Great Vid, long time watcher here (ASMR of a salesman is a fav) in Aus so we use Polymer bank notes. However no tree’s are cut down to print US currency, it’s made of cotton. And polymer notes are basically plastic, which I think might be more impactful on the environment (unsure how they recycle / dispose of old notes so I could be wrong)

If that is truly the case, then that's really amazing since he's a war hero and also a pioneer in computer science, not to mention a martyr for the civil rights cause.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was the commander-in-chief and statesman who founded the Republic of Turkey after the first world war, leading Turkey's war of liberation. In other faces of turkish lira, the first Turkish science historian Ordinaryus Professor Dr. Aydin Sayili, Mathematics Professor Prof. Dr. Cahit Arf, Architect Ahmed Kemaleddin, Fatma Aliye Hanım, the first female novelist of Turkish literature, Itri Buhurizade Mustafa Efendi, Turkish composer and poet, the pioneer of Turkish poetry is the sufi and folk poet Yunus Emre.
