What do you guys think would be the best method of redesigning a currency?
I've been assigned a project to do just that while having to use primarily photo shop but I may use some assets from illustrator.
These instructions are pretty vague so I was curious as to how anyone would go about it.
Pic unrelated, I am currently on mobile sorry.
Think about the functional and symbolically important parts of the design, and thing about WHY they're functional and symbolically important.
Look at foreign currencies to see how they handle emphasizing these aspects.
Spoiler: your professor expects colorcoding, size coding, large print numbers, and a reselection of pictures to match a modern conception of your country's identity (fewer bureaucrats and presidents or monarchs, more artists and reformers; fewer seats of power, more landmarks.)

Thanks! I've got most of the concepts down
I was more curious about how to handle the actual crration of the bill, I've made the layout in illustrator but the project is meant to be done primarily in photoshop.
Is there some way to make a layout in photoshop that I'm missing?
I'm relatively new to Adobe
Short answer, and I'm not being a dick for the sake of it. Photoshop comes with a manual, and there are thousands of tutorials on youtube.
Go do the work required to learn how to use the tool you've been assigned to use.

But I'll give you a hit: File > Create New Document > Type your layout dimensions. Hit Enter.
this is so basic and self-evident when you start working in PS, that it appears you're trying NOT to learn how it works.

That's not what I meant at all but alright.
There's a reason I stopped browsing 4chan, everyone here is so eager to demonstrate that they're not a failure that they just belittle everyone else.
I'm to blame, I didn't specify the complete details of this assignment.
By layout I mean the actual details and art found on currency.
I'm just going to import everything I've made so far into the photoshop document I've made.
Our professor was incredibly vague and can't speak english so multiple people are very confused.

Learn to create and use guides.
I hope you are using CMYK not RBG
What's the issue that you're having with layout? What exactly do you need to lay out?
google banknotes, analyse their design principles
here's a few mock banknotes - you probably can already analyse their notable features
