Bank notes seem to come with faces, so perhaps use guy fawkes as Nakamoto.

will this be paper? Will this be like the bitchecks that people are kicking around with the checks with the private key hidden with a hologram or is this something new?

I am not a designer but I can help with perhaps the process and if a website needs to be built around it you can count me in!

Casascius drop me a PM.

I seem to recall a thread about this a while back. There was discussion about famous mathematicians/cryptographers/formulae as possible motifs for bitcoin bills.

I'll see if I can find the thread. Maybe there are some useful ideas there...

The Casascius 1oz 10BTC Silver Round (w/ Gold B)

I would like to commission the creation of some artwork to serve as a print-your-own Bitcoin banknote. This is something I am willing to pay for (and I pay decently for things), but want to openly throw out what I'm looking for before actually negotiating a deal.

So, here is what I am looking for:

Artwork for a banknote that represents Bitcoin well, meant to be printed on paper and cut out to the approximate size of a dollar or euro banknote
The banknote should not have a specific denomination - it should simply be a generic "Bitcoins" banknote.
Artwork preferably needs to be in vector format, such as svg. Regardless, it must look good at print resolution, and it needs to look good on home printers.
Despite all real-world fiat banknotes being double-sided, only a single side is needed.
Two blank spots for QR codes on opposite sides of the banknote are needed: one 25x25mm and the other 30x30mm.
The objective of this is to merge the resulting artwork with the code at BitAddress.org to create a "print cash" feature, and then release the whole thing to the public for free.
People printing these notes shouldn't have to worry that they'll be spending a fortune on ink or toner printing them in bulk. So something that is simply abstract line art - with most of the page being white - would actually be preferable to something that was some huge graphical blob. Simple is good.
The artwork should not depend on color, and should look decent if black is the only ink color available.

To anyone is interested in doing this project, if you have some samples of other artwork you've done that you can point me to, that would help greatly. Thanks in advance!
