An object from the United States that I think carries messages of revolution much like the dollar bill is the U.S. postage stamps.  Unlike the dollar bill, which has stayed consistently the same throughout history since it was first created the postage stamps have changed to represent our changing history.  The stamps have shown images of many different things such as:

• presidents and other important figures
• important landmarks 
• new inventions
• important events
• important sayings and quotes
• other things that represent the U.S. as a country and its history

Past U.S. Stamps

Todays U.S. Postage Stamp

I think that these objects are revolutionary because they show our changing history and everything that that includes whether its changing presidents, advancements in technology, important milestones, or things that represent us as a nation.
