BCE Is doing a survey on new bank notes! There are some great choices, would love to see them showing up for real.

Some interesting and some really terrible (like ugly) designs. Thanks for sharing!
One design used the corporate minimalism style. Who would like a note resembling Facebook help pages?
And one crops the people portraits to the face. As a person with face blindness I feel very sad about non inclusive designs.
They really want to make birds-and-buildings happen, huh. Don’t really care about birds TBH, but I liked most of the birds designs and its fresh. The people-based design, I feel like that’s not a great pick for such a diverse polity, unless they’re planning on rotating which people get printed. Rotating would be really neat (for the animal designs, too), but I doubt they’re planning on doing that.
The decision of who or what is portrayed was made before the competition. We’ve had 2 generations so far and the second followed the theme but not the subjects. They might want a new design in 10-20 years again, quite likely the design we choose now will influence what we end up with next. I’d be down for a shuffle halfway through though.
