Currency Research

I have an idea to create currency paying homage to important women of the U.S.  I'm still undecided of the final design but will be posting as I go along.

features of 5 pounds

I decided to create currency the size of a pound (70mm x 135mm or 2.75in x 5.31in).  I like the rectangular size of the currency.

Just an update...Still in process of creating bills but discovered my idea may not work with each bill. So I decided Michelle Obama will be featured on each bill with a different color pattern for each denomination.  Examples coming soon
