<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 871807, member: 19065&quot;]I think you&#039;re missing the point and I&#039;m well aware of the unrelenting issues of forgery that the Treasury and Fed of the US face in regards to security and the issuance of new Series of notes. The entire lineage of paper currency is one long record of security innovation for just these reason. That suddenly a light went on in your thinking isn&#039;t grounds for the hysteria that I&#039;ve tried to point out in regards to your alarm bell ringing. Your cause for alarm is clearly skewed due to your personal aesthetic distaste for the new $100 Series, as well as the other denominations of current Series. Instead you desire to see them all changed but have little faith in the security features in place let alone an understanding of past measures. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your own penchant towards MPCs, if not purely nostalgic and for aesthetic appeal, ought to be one of a proclivity for matters related to security issues, which should imply that you are abreast of the situation historically and presently in regards to how the US issues each new Series and writes its policies in regards to how they deem necessary to handle new and previous Series of notes. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, you misdirect this topic suggesting I&#039;m kidding myself when you&#039;re own misinformed paranoia has been stoked on by the possibilities you suggest in the OP, which are anything but original. If you had the ability to dream up the breech of security between new and prior issued notes which are still legal tender in this scenario then consider that those agencies who have dealt with these matters since their inception, those agencies of the Treasury and the Fed, both have previously considered and assessed these potentialities and determined the best course of action was to innovate security features with each new Series issued and to eliminate by culling earlier issue notes without the need, distraction, expense and confusion of demonetizing previous Series.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s also no need to demonize foreigners by implication of media stories you read about. The threat is global and all nations face the same undermining effects so must be diligent in their security innovation. The sooner you realize the that technology has taken the front seat long ago, the sooner you may come to embrace the elegance of non-aesthetic technological beauty that has come to dominate modern currencies visual look. </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps the problem is that due to public outcry and a general resistance to change, the US currency has incorrectly left too many semblances of classic security design features in place. A more radical shift, like the outlandish coloration and scale (sizes) of MPC for aesthetic reasons along with modern security measures may have been a more acceptable transition in the long run.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
