Some bank tellers HATE writing or stamping on bills.
They similarly HATE the people who do it.
They believe that it is "illegal" and even think the people who do it are "evil".
SO, to drive the "evil" people insane, they make up stories and spread them. That way the
"evil stampers" will start hitting their heads like "Rain Man" and scream out "Serious
Injury"!
The perfect story is that all bills will be washed and the ink will be removed. How
stupid. how could anyone believe this? Do you have any idea what that would cost? Do you
have any idea how the "Evil ink" will be magically washed off the bill while the "Good
ink" remains on the bill?
There will be NO redesign of the FBI-RD. Eventually it will be discontinued. Deal with it.
Now the only true rumor is that they will be melting down the "RARE APOLLO XI DOLLAR COINS
FROM THE 1900's". I just don't know when.
Better start hoarding them all before they get melted.

I know people get tired of these posts about the $1 bill redesign over and over
again but I heard a rumor on the wheregeorge.com website someone posted that
went like this:
"Yesterday I was speaking to a manager of local McDonalds. He said that a bank
teller he spoke with told him two strange things that I don't believe:
1 - Bill cleaning:
Banks will be cleaning bills soon. Any writing or stamps on bills will be
cleaned off in a solution of some kind. I highly doubt banks would take the
time to clean every bill with writing of some kind on them. (How many bills do
you come across with numbers or letters written on them?)
2 - Redesign of the $1bill:
The portrait will be changed to be similar to the other bills and color
security features will be added to the $1 bill. The last I read, the BEP was
not planning on changing the $1 bill as it was not counterfeited enough to
warrent the extra costs.
I know I should consider the source (no offense to any fast food managers), but
has anyone heard about either of these two changes planned for the $1 bill?"
What do you guys think of these rumors? I thought it was interesting, but doubt
its true. I could see redesigning the $1 bill ( and $2 bill) to match the
higher denominations (large portrait, simple boarder, and low-vision numeral),
but I can't see them adding the color.
