Advanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 7 image entries Contest Directions:
This Thursday U.S. Mint puts into curculation the dollar coin with the second American president John Adams engraved on it. This new dollar coin program prints coins of constantly changing design - four new US presidents per year in the chronological order they held the office. Every collector's dream will be the crooked dollar coin with Richard Nixon.
In this contest you are asked to change the geometric shapes of U.S. money. Alter coins and dollar bills to any flat shape other than their present shape. An example may be a dollar bill in triangle, round or banana shape. In addition to reshaping the currency, you can (optionally) change what is depicted, engraved on it.

This contest is fueled by the following news:
Coin collectors can rejoice - this week U.S. Mint puts into
circulation a dollar coin with the second American President John Adams on it.
This new coin is part of the currency program by the Federal Reserve
Bank which will add a new dollar coin every three months, featuring American
presidents in the chronological order they held the office. Such design plan intends
to increase the attractiveness of dollar coins versus dollar bank notes, as
means of money. American collectors should start accumulating the new
shiny dollar coins as they are printed by the U.S. Mint Bureau. Once their supply
increases, and they are no longer considered a numismatic rarity, people
will start using the accumulated silver dollars as money for slot
vending machines where they are much more convenient than four
quarters. Current Federal Reserve program mimics the 50-state quarter
program which was the most successful coin program in U.S. history.
Many of those quarters are still sitting in the coin collections.
John Adams silver dollar is printed three months after the launch of
George Washington dollar coin.
OOOPS! 3:am inspiration; worked hard -- then got to re-read the contest rules and see that this just ain't right... I somehow got confused and mixed it up with the stamp contest? I dunno -- but I had to share! (flag if you like)
