Hey all,

I just had some quick questions.

I may have mentioned at one time or another, that I may try to invest
in real estate, so,
I was wondering, if I had a fairly descent amount of money, would I
possibly be able to get some, if not all of my ideas going? ("Famous
Dogs Half Dollar Coin Act" redesigned $2 bill act",issued $200 bill,
and reissued $500 and $1,000 bills)?

I know that it costs thousands of dollars to draw up designs for
currency notes, but I am not sure about coins, but here are the
designs I would have drawn up for some of my ideas I have been
proposing for over 10 years:

Nine obverses for the "Famous Dogs Half Dollar Coin Act" YEAR ONE:
First coin: Balto. Second Coin: Togo: Third design: Togo's half
brother Fritz. Fourth design: Fox. YEAR TWO: Fifth design: Sye. Sixth
design: Old Moctoc. Seventh design: Tillie. Eighth design: Billy. YEAR
THREE: Ninth design: Alaska Slim (These are all famous sled dogs
involved in Balto's Serum run. I would hope that we could move on to
police, fire, rescue, and military dogs for the rest of the designs
for the rest of year three and years 4-9.

Three reverses for the "Famous Dogs Half Dollar Coin Act" a Gray Wolf
reverse for years 1-3 of the program, a Coyote reverse for years 4-6,
and a North American Red Fox reverse for years 7-9.

A redesigned $2 bill obverse with an updated portrait of President
Thomas Jefferson, little yellow "02s" and an opened up blue scroll to
the right of Jefferson representing Liberty in the form of the
Declaration of Independence.

A redesigned reverse of the $2 bill, featuring a return to the
Monticello design (Yeah, I know, many people love the $2 bill's
current "Signing of the Declaration of Independence design on the
reverse of the current $2 bill a lot more, but not me. I prefered the
Monticello design from the moment I first saw it) and a medium-sized
low-vision numeral 2 in the bottom right corner that will be blue, and
in between the size of the old $5 bill's low-vision numeral 5, and the
new $5 bill's huge purple 5.

A $200 bill obverse featuring the portrait of President Theodore
Roosevelt, and a yellow star with a smaller copper star in the middle
of the big yellow star, to Roosevelt's right. And clusters of little
yellow "200s" in spots.

A reverse of the $200 bill featuring Mount Rushmore, and a huge silver
low-vision numeral 200 going the same way as the new large golden 100
on the new $100 bills coming out. And little clusters of "200s" in
spots.

An obverse of a $500 bill, continuing to feature President Willian
McKinley, and the head of the Statue of Liberty in gray with a copper
American flag in the forehead of the Statue of Liberty head, to
McKinley's right. And clusters of little "500s" in spots.

A reverse of the $500 bill retaining the oval with huge 500 in the
center, and a low-vision numeral 500 in copper color placed the same
way as the new golden 100 on the new $100 bill to be released soon.
And clusters of little "500s" in spots.

An obverse of a $1,000 bill continuing to feature President Grover
Cleveland, and a brown full Statue of Liberty with a copper army medal
in the Statue of Liberty to Cleveland's Right. And clusters of little
"1000s" in spots.

A reverse of the $1,000 bill that retains the fancy text "The United
States of America" and "One Thousand Dollars" and a low vision numeral
1,000 with a comma in it and the numeral "1" and the comma will be
copper in the low-vision 1,000, the two middle zeros "00" will be
golden in color, and the top zero "0" will be silver. In other words,
the low-vision numeral 1,000 will be multicolored in the three basic
metal colors of copper, silver and gold. The low-vision 1,000 will be
placed the same way as the new $100 bills golden 100. And clusters of
little "1000s" in spots.

These ideas will be drawn out differently, if I do not get the money
to have them drawn out by the time the currency is redesigned again.
If the currency is redesigned again before I have these ideas drawn
out and proposed I will change them around a bit if the next redesign
is very drastic compared to our current design.

So, would I get any interests out of this if I had money? Would people
in Congress maybe pay more attention to me?

Sure. Drop enough bundles of the current Ben Franklins on some
congresscritter's desk and you can get a bill in the hopper. Be prepared,
though, to have to repeat that about 218 times in the House and 60 times in
the Senate if you expect real results.

I don't think it's required to bribe fully 1/2 of the House and 60% of the
Senate.
Usually, it seems, in the scratch-my-back-I'll-scratch-yours atmosphere in Foggy
Bottom, a few well placed "campaign contributions" to the right Congressman and
Senator does the trick.

I was making a sarcastic point, not a literal prediction. But I did need to
pick a number; and he'd need a comfortable cushion because you know that at
least a few will take the money but not vote yea, just to "prove" that their
vote cannot be bought.
