Earlier this week, I saw a Huffington Post article on The Dollar ReDe$ign Project, another fine example of how to “cash in” on crowdsourcing. The thought behind the project is that the American dollar is lagging behind its rival, the Euro, and that  a money makeover would help stimulate an economy that is a little more “George Washington” than “Benjamin Franklin,” if you know what I mean.

Some of the designs really are impressive, and totally make me want to go crazy at the mall. The most popular design, according to the article, was submitted by British duo Dowling Duncan:

Well…I wasn’t about to sit back and watch this currency revolution happen without me! I resolved, then, that I need to make some money of my own–literally. I asked Nicole and Lisa what their lucky numbers are (not sharing the details of my secret operation, of course). A few minutes with photoshop later brings us the new faces of the $11 dollar bill, the $12 dollar bill, and–you guessed it–the $1,000,000 dollar bill. Hooray, we’re rich!
