Currency in the 31st century, at least originating from the USA, seems to still be dollars. Most notes look just like they are today, and each one of them has the face of an important individual on it. The $500 note has Al Gore (2ACV07), the $300 note has Richard Nixon's head (4ACV16), the $10 note has Benjamin Franklin (3ACV11, the $20 note has a Blob, probably H. G. Blob, saying it is "legal tender" (BBS), and the $5 note has Abraham Lincoln (ITWGY). The coins also seem to be similar to what they look like today.
