Beautiful work by Travis Purrington - his 2014 US Dollar Design proposal
"An updated banknote proposal created for the United States of America within the Master thesis design project "WORTH: The Aesthetics of Global Interest". Inspired by the Swiss Franc's ambitious redesign process (the currency is thoroughly redesigned every 20 years by way of contest) The goal was to develop a similar updated iconographic system better representing the advancements and culture within the American society. This particular series plays on themes of human discovery and endeavors to connect achievement, theory and the fundamental properties of life." From Travis Purrington's own website
