Started as an 8th grade civics project in 1997, the “Liberty Bill” would superimpose an abridged version of the U.S. Constitution on the back of one-dollar bills. This would include the entire Preamble, followed by a listing of what each of the 7 Articles and 27 Amendments is about.
The Liberty Bill will:
- Save Tax Dollars
- Promote Patriotism
- Support Our Military
- Advance Human Rights
- Spread Democratic Principles

More one-dollar bills circulate in other countries than in the United States. Imagine the power of our American ideals of freedom exchanging hands around the world each day.
