Sorry - I worked on the US $20 bill as a designer in autocad. I also worked on the $50 bill, but I got laid off while working on the 50, so my input was limited.

I did, however, control the drawing for the back of the current $20 bill. The bureau had re-designed the front of the bill sufficiently, but they didn't know what to do about the back. It was a two-sided document. They changed scale for the numbers, but they didn't know how to make it different without taking away from the integrity of the bill.

They decided that there would be tiny little number 20's in yellow so small that a commercial copier could not duplicate it. I had that drawing for upwards of a year. There ultimately ended up being some numerical 10's on the pattern. But make no mistake, that pattern is on there because I put it there. Months alone with a drawing, Tinkering. it took about a year for this to happen.

Do you call it art? I thought that because I made a change at the last second before I sent the drawing in, eliminated one number, and call it your own could I call it mine?

Very excellent design work!

Kind of ironic that you got laid off while working on the new fifty.

Aren't they supposed to be printing shitloads of these things?

Hi there...interesting thread...just wondering if you could post a greatly enhanced version of the 20 dollar bill you've posted, ie 300 dpi, and also, remove the words specimen from the two photos.

Thanks!

That would be considered a form of counterfeiting.

It's illegal to reproduce a bill. I was showing an example.

Don't get me started on the two-man rule for vault access. It's a wonder anybody could get away with anything.

A bit harsh don't you think...it's kind of weird for a 'former employee' of the US government to be posting 'specimen copies' of his supposed handiwork for a former employer, ON A ROLLING STONES FAN SITE.

I apologize I was having a bit of fun with it...now go counterfeit yourself.

There actually was a time when United States paper currency was very beautiful, but I'm afraid that was over 100 years ago.

That was the last time they changed the $20. Had been the same since before WW2, 75 years.

The greatest one was a 10,000 bill from 1898. A one-off. Fantastic

The silver certificates remind me of the whole behind
the scenes politicing of how the US went off the silver
standard... onto the gold standard... then off of the
gold standard.... and onto the BS standard... still on that one.


Cool story Brue of how one of IORR's own helped design the $20,
are you able to share what you are doing now? I mean, what does
a man who designed money move on to? I am honestly curious, if you can say.

He is designing the 2012 Stones tour ticket for Live Nation.

It would be cool if they brought back the cool ole tickets, versus the boring printed out ones.

Reading the topic of your thread I thought you were offering a designer for Bill Wyman for the price of $20...

Obama is.

No wonder inflation.

Brue, yes absolutely it's art. Anyone recall a certain Mr Saint-Gaudens?

Opinion here, however. It's not your fault, it's a balance between function
and art, but one can tell the newest bills are design by committee.

Too Many Cooks?
