This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 12, 2007:
Now there's a job I'd accept anytime!
If I were doing it now, I'd do it in the spirit of Zaads.
First of all, I'd want to make these bills unable to ever smell like money. I'd hire perfume designers and engineers to create papers that smell like orchids, jasmine, patchouly and lavader, and never lose their scent.
On the front of every bill I'd put pictures of one of the wonders of the world, or wonders of nature. Each bill would have another reminder of earth's beauty and wonder.
On the back side I'd put quotations of our enlightened spiritual masters, and excerpts from great books and sacred scripts. Maybe even a slight portrait of them next to it.
For coins I'd invent an alternative, some other material that doesn't react in smell when touches your skin, but rather, is scentles and differs in size and touch acoording to its value.
Maybe some rocks would fit the purpose. Any ideas?
p.s. Do you think I'd end up in court for putting spiritual masters on money bills?

I'd love lavender and patchouli scented money! You have the best ideas! :)
I think the scent idea is fabulous…but I’d avoid the whole spiritual masters thing, nice idea, but treading on a mighty thin line!
Yeah, it really is a mighty thin line to put that on money. I probably got too much into the idea of spreading it.
Maybe the best thing to be put opposite world wonders is the “profile” of the country where the featured wonder is.
Thank you Jen, for your input, and Victoria - thank you for making me really think twice about this!
Awesome idea, idea much enough to abolish political societies. but i think all is praisable except posting pictures of religious leaders.
Thanks for posting such prolific ideas.
