However we have changed the size of the note so that the one dollar is shorter and the 100 dollar is the longest. When stacked on top of each other it is easy to see how much money you have. It also makes it easier for the visually impaired to distinguish between notes.</p> <p class="txtblack"><strong>Why a vertical format?</strong><br/>When we researched how notes are used we realized people tend to handle and deal with money vertically rather than horizontally. You tend to hold a wallet or purse vertically when searching for notes. The majority of people hand over notes vertically when making purchases. All machines accept notes vertically. Therefore a vertical note makes more sense.</p> <p class="txtblack"><strong>Why different colors?</strong><br/>It’s one of the strongest ways graphically to distinguish one note from another.</p> <p class="txtblack"><strong>Why these designs?</strong><br/>We wanted a concept behind the imagery so that the image directly relates to the value of each note. We also wanted the notes to be educational, not only for those living in America but visitors as well. Each note uses a black and white image depicting a particular aspect of American history and culture. They are then overprinted with informational graphics or a pattern relating to that particular image.</p> <p class="txtblack"><strong>$1</strong> – The first African American president<br/><strong>$5</strong> – The five biggest native American tribes<br/><strong>$10</strong> – The bill of rights, the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution<br/><strong>$20</strong> – 20th Century America<br/><strong>$50</strong> – The 50 States of America<br/><strong>$100</strong> – The first 100 days of President Franklin Roosevelt. During this time he led the congress to pass more important legislations than most presidents pass in their entire term. This helped fight the economic crises at the time of the great depression. Ever since, every new president has been judged on how well they have done during the first 100 days of their term.</p> </blockquote> <p>Love these.</p> </blockquote> <p>It’ll never happen but, Awesome!</p>http://proveritasaequitas.tumblr.com/post/29481501859http://proveritasaequitas.tumblr.com/post/29481501859Wed, 15 Aug 2012 10:46:08 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8jmc8okep1qzoki7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mattfisher.tumblr.com/post/29338478278/my-sister-paid-progressive-insurance-to-defend-her">mattfisher</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>My Sister Paid Progressive Insurance to Defend Her Killer In Court</strong></p> <p align="left">I’ve been sending out some impertinent tweets about Progressive Insurance lately, but I haven’t explained how they pissed me off. So I will do that here as succinctly as possible. There’s a general understanding that says, “insurance companies— oh they’re awful,” but since Progressive turned their shit hose on my late sister and my parents, I’ve learned some things that really surprised me.</p> <p align="left">I’ll try to cleave to the facts. On June 19, 2010, my sister was driving in Baltimore when her car was struck by another car and she was killed. The other driver had run a red light and hit my sister as she crossed the intersection on the green light.</p> <p><a href="http://mattfisher.tumblr.com/post/29338478278/my-sister-paid-progressive-insurance-to-defend-her">Read More</a></p> </blockquote>http://proveritasaequitas.tumblr.com/post/29404099823http://proveritasaequitas.tumblr.com/post/29404099823Tue, 14 Aug 2012 07:56:44 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8o1gjcC5Q1qz9bu3o1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://proveritasaequitas.tumblr.com/post/29404063773http://proveritasaequitas.tumblr.com/post/29404063773Tue, 14 Aug 2012 07:55:22 -0400
