Proposal for Redesigning U.S. Dollar Bills
Objective: To redesign the U.S. dollar bills to incorporate the text of the U.S. Constitution and its Amendments, promoting awareness and appreciation of the nation’s foundational legal document, make our currency collectible, and promote our Republic overseas especially when a child gets an American dollar.
Overview: This proposal outlines a three-year cycling plan to redesign the front and back of U.S. paper currency, integrating the text of the U.S. Constitution and its Amendments. The goal is to educate the public and celebrate the principles of American democracy.

Year 2: Constitution on Currency
Each denomination will feature different sections of the Constitution, ensuring that the entire document is represented across the various bills. This will include the Articles and clauses, divided appropriately among the denominations with the original wording.

Conclusion:
This redesign of U.S. paper currency will not only enhance the aesthetic value of the bills but also serve as a daily reminder of the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution. By implementing this proposal, we can foster a deeper appreciation for the nation’s legal foundations among all citizens.
Children understand what money is, they will ask their parents to read it to them. When they’re old enough to read it for themselves they’ll ask what it means.
Remember when you were a child and you got a piece of foreign money you looked at it a lot even if it was just a Canadian quarter or a looney, now we can have children and teenagers from other countries reading our Constitution our Bill of Rights setting an idea in place at a very early age that will stay with them and that will actually spread a constitutional republic which is always better than a democracy.
