<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1310561, member: 19065&quot;]I vote indifferent as to which denomination should be used: $200/$250. The poll is missing that choice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either denomination would work as a monetary device and they&#039;d spend&nbsp; like anything else too. </p><p><br /></p><p>They are easy enough to count, by human or&nbsp; machine. </p><p><br /></p><p>Either note would also be collectible/collected.</p><p><br /></p><p>In all likelihood, US paper money goes away entirely before you&#039;ll see a&nbsp; new denomination in circulation under the current form of Federal&nbsp; Reserve Notes. An unknown process, in modern US currency, of making the&nbsp; case for a decision to add a new denomination to our currency would have&nbsp; to be over come. This would entail seeking the approval of such a move,&nbsp; decisions would have to be made just to reach the stage of doing&nbsp; feasibility reports, then there has to be approval of financing, costs&nbsp; and effort spent designing, preparing printing facilities, test&nbsp; printings, actual printing, distributing and above all else, <u>educating the public</u> on these notes to teach them that they are safe, secure and authentic, and that they should use them!</p><p><br /></p><p>As it stands, we&#039;re yet to even see the last addition to the design&nbsp; changes of our existing circulating currency line up reach circulation.&nbsp; The newer designs have taken more than a decade to roll out from the $5s&nbsp; to the new $100 note. The $100 has been fraught with technical problems&nbsp; and remains held up, behind schedule and has wasted buckets of money to&nbsp; date trying to figure out the glitches, and we can&#039;t even get hold of&nbsp; them to spend them, nor collect them. By they time they figure it out&nbsp; they&#039;ll have to ditch all the current signature plates because the&nbsp; Treasury officials are likely to be replaced.</p><p><br /></p><p>The lowly yet&nbsp; mighty symbolic $1 is facing it&#039;s demise at every turn, as ordinary&nbsp; citizen, politicians and even collectors voice opinions for $1 coins in&nbsp; place of paper $1 notes. </p><p><br /></p><p>While other nations convert from paper&nbsp; to polymer, the US is likely to hold onto paper until circulating paper&nbsp; money is removed from circulation in favor of digital banking and forms&nbsp; of payment.</p><p><br /></p><p>It doesn&#039;t really matter whether you pick a $200 or $250 denomination at this point. The thing that will confuse people the least is a digital format that doesn&#039;t require them to count at all. Just mindless swiping at some arbitrary number given as the value/cost for the purchase they are making.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
