Change We Can Believe In | Hoefler & Frere-Jones
Above, the new face of British currency, announced by the Royal Mint. The striking new designs, selected from an open competition that attracted four thousand entries, are the work of a 26-year old graphic designer named Matthew Dent. They are Mr. Dent's first foray into currency design. Below, the new five dollar bill, introduced last month by the United States Department of the Treasury.

The new coinage that will be rolling out in the UK starting this year is beautiful. American currency, by comparison, is fugly. |

The new UK coins, designed by 26-year old graphic designer, Matthew Dent, are really, really beautiful. Like *really* beautiful. America's new five dollar bill is -- well, ugly as sin. |
