I don't think that this is all that creative, but artistic expression of economy is cool regardless.

I think its pretty stupid to do it on a 1 dollar bill, I think it stupid in general, lol I mean I respect money and the founding father, this whole economic thing seems to be getting peopled worked up, but American dollars actually appreciated by 50% in 3 days in other words its not our economy suffering but the global economy is suffering.

the dollar actually appreciated, so right now would be a great time to travel, for instance .90 wons used to be 1 dollar, and now in just 3 days 1.5 wons = 1USD. so finacial investors from other countries are struggling because it the dollar appreciated by 50% so basically its like a 50% interest to the global economy and a slight depreiciation in ther American economy. America can withstand being pretty stable on its own for a while though cause our country is so big and we have New York. But as for the art, I dont like how it has Washington with a zero, she should have changed washington to Bush or should have changed it to Henry Paulson and then put a zero
