Should the U.S. $1 and $2 bills be redesigned?

Agreed. The back of the $2 is a thing of beauty in my book. Plus, you can't beat Thomas Jefferson's somewhat surprised look on the front!

I think the design should stay the same and just keep on the way we are.

People please, please don't suggest we have a commem paper dollar with different themes or it changing all the time, I mean who really cares. It's boring now but familar plus they are never going to make the switch to dollar coins in the next 15 years anyway - there is never going to be even the slightest chance of getting any $200 notes (for gods sake!) or a $500 or thousand dollar note. Frankly I'm sort of stunned by these suggestions. I mean they are so far "out there" as to be absurd. Honestly I have not read every word of this (these suggestions) but this is getting comical. First why on earth do you for one second think any petition (for these absurdities) would actually mean a thing to our Govt. in this day and time - they don't care?
It's a buisness not wish center. Art in paper money was lost forever by 1934, really before then. The common man could care less about the paper money he has because he only wants it to buy what he wants when he wants. He does not want to carry around 7 or 9 stupid looking Chuckey Cheese tokens (our President Dollar series) either banging around in his pocket.
Leave the BEP alone, yes it's boring, yes it's common but it works just fine as is. What really scares me if they adopted any of these fantasy suggestions, and after the Govt. got through with their fine tuning and homogizising we may end up with God in heaven only knows what and everybody would have wished they had kept thier collective mouths shut.

Now before you'all pile up on me - I was nice, not personal and it's just my opinion and one I think some other will have expressed or not.

You can't, no matter how much you love beautiful paper money, "go back". We had classic and it's been lost. That is right and just and always the truth. The very reason those notes or denomination you love so much are wonderful (and they are) is because of the ones that aren't. Beauty does not live forever, nor should it.
Your right that we "could" have beautiful paper again or the larger or different denomenations from the past but I bet we will not.

 

And this would be sent where??
