I can't believe no one posted anything on this. What? Were you guysall waiting for me? (New $100 Bill Images) (I wonder if a new $500 bill wouldbe similar)
http://www.mydollarplan.com/new-100-dollar-bill/
I was a little disappointed with the back of the new $100 at first, because I thought the low-vision numeral would be similar to the $10, $20 and $50's, but now I grew to love both sides of the new $100 bill and the $100 is now by far, my favorite of this series. What sucks is, it is being released on Febuary 10 of 2011. I wonder why so long, because they are likely just about to release the next generation of U.S. currency. If the U.S. currency is going to be redesigned every 7-10 years, 2011 when the new $100 bill comes out will be 9 years since 2003, when the new colorized $20 bill came out, so, following the release of the new $100 bill in 2011, we may be hearing more about one of the already colorized denominations getting a redesign again the following year in 2012, the 10 year mark. I have heard a few things about the governement possibly changing the size of all denomination paper money and probably the designs a bit too, except the $1 and $2 bills. This really bothers me seeing as, I live in a family of people with poor vision, and my mother can hardly see without glasses, and has a hard time telling $1 and $2 bills apart without her glasses unless they are right in her face. I myself am 20/400 vision in both eyes and can see all right, but am supposed to wear glasses full time, but I only wear them when I drive or watch tv. I just can't read things in the distance, but, in the future I may depend on a different sized $2 bill. So I don't see why, if the government does not want to redesign or change the size of the $1 bill, thats is all fine and dandy with me, but if all other denominations are getting a redesign, as well as a resize, redesign the damn $2 bill. I DO NOT want them to just stop printing $2s, I just want them redesigned to make them more usable for those who use them. Everything else, including the half dollar coin has a distinguishible feature for the blind and visually impaired: its size. So, if the $1 and $2 bills remain the same size, and all other denominations will change in size, the $2 bill would still be discrimitory against the blind and visually impaired. Perhaps I should write THAT in a letter to my government officials. I wish they would just get rid of the rag $1 and $2 bucks. Unfortunately, in the testimony I read, no denomination was considered to be replaced with a coin, which is a real shame, because they could really make a nice $2 coin distinguishible for the blind. |

Well I guess you can post if you want too, as long as I don't have hear about anymore cats and dogs on coins or currency, and please get rid of the $1 coins and replace them with some kinda design that is presentable and tasteful. |

There was a lot of opposition to doing away with it; you would have thought they were proposing to murder babies or something. For some reason (presumably there were thought to be votes in it) politicians in the USA were opposed to replacement of the $1 by a coin, and when you did get one it looked like a quarter. Eventually that was fixed, except that apparently the note and coin circulate side by side. The average life of a circulating $1 note must be a few weeks at most. There are still 1983 1 pound coins circulating in the UK. The coin is far cheaper to make when you factor in the lifetime factor. -- Mike Dworetsky (Remove pants sp*mbl*ck to reply) |

There are still 1983 1 pound coins circulating in the UK. The coin is far cheaper to make when you factor in the lifetime factor. The paper note is made from a renewable source while clad metal coins are not. How much money would really be saved by eliminating the $1 bill while continuing to print $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills? Plus millions of unused $1 coins. So far, no need for the expense of a security redesign of the $1 bill either. BTW, are the latest plastic bills made from oil? In the US, there likely are loads of one dollar coins remaining in storage from 1979 that won't circulate largely because people don't care to use them. Nowadays, people don't handle coins often enough for them to wear out. Fifty years ago, it was common to receive well worn coins in change. Today it's common to find fifty-year-old coins showing minimal wear among your change, coins that would likely last another fifty years. |

No, I can't say I've received many dollar coins change, but I lay this fault at the feet of the mint. It's just that I feel the mint should have more pride in the job they do, and they shouldn't run the mint just for profit only, but too show what we as a country are capable of doing. I know most of you guys don't have same views that I do. Though that is okay, because that is one things that is still great about this country we live in. We have right to opinions and ideals, and we can take them and mix those ideals and opinion's too come up with something close to perfection. In my experience's in life, I've learned that it doesn't take just one great mind too make something work to perfection, but many. Now if we could just get the mint and government too understand that. JMHO for what ever that is worth "probably not much". |

I myself am 20/400 vision in both eyes and can see all right, but am supposed to wear glasses full time, but I only wear them when I drive or watch tv. I just can't read things in the distance, but, in the future I may depend on a different sized $2 bill. So I don't see why, if the government does not want to redesign or change the size of the $1 bill, thats is all fine and dandy with me, but if all other denominations are getting a redesign, as well as a resize, redesign the damn $2 bill. I DO NOT want them to just stop printing $2s, I just want them redesigned to make them more usable for those who use them. Everything else, including the half dollar coin has a distinguishible feature for the blind and visually impaired: its size. So, if the $1 and $2 bills remain the same size, and all other denominations will change in size, the $2 bill would still be discrimitory against the blind and visually impaired. Perhaps I should write THAT in a letter to my government officials. I wish they would just get rid of the rag $1 and $2 bucks. Unfortunately, in the testimony I read, no denomination was considered to be replaced with a coin, which is a real shame, because they could really make a nice $2 coin distinguishible for the blind. Well I guess you can post if you want too, as long as I don't have hear about anymore cats and dogs on coins or currency, and please get rid of the $1 coins and replace them with some kinda design that is presentable and tasteful. === Like, for instance......? Roast duck with lemon glaze? Hey it beats the crap we have on our coins now. ====== Do you really believe that non-collectors actually look to examine the design of the coins they spend? As long as they see it's a quarter, dime, etc., they couldn't care less what's on it when they spend it. As collectors, many of us tend to get emotional about new coin designs (along with old ones) and usually are eager to voice our opinions about each new one. If you don't care for the subjects on our dollar coins, I doubt you encounter them that often to worry about it. No, I can't say I've received many dollar coins change, but I lay this fault at the feet of the mint. It's just that I feel the mint should have more pride in the job they do, and they shouldn't run the mint just for profit only, but too show what we as a country are capable of doing. I know most of you guys don't have same views that I do. Though that is okay, because that is one things that is still great about this country we live in. We have right to opinions and ideals, and we can take them and mix those ideals and opinion's too come up with something close to perfection. In my experience's in life, I've learned that it doesn't take just one great mind too make something work to perfection, but many. Now if we could just get the mint and government too understand that. JMHO for what ever that is worth "probably not much". ===== So exactly what do you think is "unpresentable" and "distasteful" about our coins? I understand that many collectors have become bored with what they consider "tired" designs on our circulating coinage, but your words indicate a much stronger feeling on your part. Why is it the Mint's fault that you're not receiving dollar coins? It produces millions of them each year and distributes them to the various regions. Why not blame merchants who never request any for their cash registers? Or the banks that don't bother including them in change unless specifically asked. I will agree that the designs on the dollar coins leave me cold, but then the only time I ever see any are when I glance at my annual proof and mint sets for damage. The designs on our coins have nothing to do with "what our country is capable of". The committees that select the artists and sculptors and critique their coin design proposals should be the subject of your scorn, along with the Congress that decides what will be produced. Although I majored in fine arts in college, I would have a hard time figuring how to render a national park on a quarter. |

What sucks is, it is being released on Febuary 10 of 2011. I wonder why so long, because they are likely just about to release the next generation of U.S. currency. If the U.S. currency is going to be redesigned every 7-10 years, 2011 when the new $100 bill comes out will be 9 years since 2003, when the new colorized $20 bill came out, so, following the release of the new $100 bill in 2011, we may be hearing more about one of the already colorized denominations getting a redesign again the following year in 2012, the 10 year mark.

I saw on the news last night that the Washington Crossing State Park in PA (across the river from Trenton NJ) is closed due to lack of State funding. Without sounding like a radical (left or right), national parks may not be too far behind. Maybe a quarter with a sign that reads "Closed" on the reverse would be a good choice for the next eleven years. Then we wouldn't have to worry about changing designs for a while. Jerry |
