Those are all good ideas, I think.  I love the notion of making it an old fashion looking bank note 'BitNote' dollar design deal.  It represents the ideas that cryptos tend to stand for and it also gives the coin apparent sophistication with layers of different shades of green, and watermark binary code.

I agree though, I think someone really qualified should get a bounty for rehashing the current one and making it look better, although I appreciate it as it stands.
