<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 1545253, member: 2098&quot;]I used to think the same thing but I assure you the figure given out by the government is accurate. You really need to update your figures and general understanding of what drives the printing of currency. This is not the 1990s anymore where countless dollar bills are being printed. The printing of dollar bills has gone down a lot over the last decade due to a reduction in demand for them. This is due to people using less cash than they used to. </p><p><br /></p><p>Comparing the printing of dollar bills to fives and tens has now become apples to oranges. The paper used for fives and tens has been changed from what it was with the old style 1995 and earlier series as the government has designed the newer fives and tens to wear out more quickly than they used to due to their desire to change designs every seven years. In a nutshell the government has reduced the quality of paper used for new fives and tens but have continued to use stronger paper for dollar bills because they still want those to circulate as long as possible as there are no plans to change or modify the dollar bill in any way.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That adverb is a matter of opinion and frankly I wouldn&#039;t care if a dollar bill lasted for five months because the startup costs to transition to the exclusive use of a dollar coin still wouldn&#039;t be economically viable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
