Lew's loopy signature may end up on dollar bills
WASHINGTON (AP) - Jack Lew's nomination for treasury secretary means a new signature could soon be coming to the dollar bill.
Not that you'll be able to read it.
Lew's signature starts off promising enough, with a soft "J." But what follows are seven loopy scribbles, rendering his signature illegible.
The treasury secretary's signature is emblazoned in the lower right corner of U.S. dollar bills of all denominations.
No word from the White House on whether President Barack Obama asked Lew to clean up his signature before nominating him for the Treasury post - or if the Senate will make that a condition of his confirmation.

Another old white guy. First Kerry, then Hagel and Brennan, and now Lew. How about some diversity obama? This is just plain racism.
My English teacher would have rapped my knuckles with a ruler and given me a failing grade if my cursive penmanship were that bad.
I thought they wanted to do away with the bills and go with coins.
You can't make someone change their signature, and if you know the letters in his name you actually can see them there. Jacob has only one (arguably 2 if you count the J) straight lines when written in plain text. Obama wants to print his face on a platinum coin and value it at a trillion dollars. What's more loopy?
I say leave it.It fits.
I actually like it.Â
