<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1082908, member: 12789&quot;]I think most Americans forget that most USA currency actually circulates outside of the USA - for instance I can spent it very easily in E. Europe where it is money of choice along with Euro because the local currency fluctuates in value too much and usually downwards.&nbsp; Anytime you have larger purchases, prices are in Euros or Dollars only - for instance want to buy house or car, or even some appliances.</p><p><br /></p><p>So with all these new currency issues with colourised bills from $5 - $50 the Treasury had to have big advertising campaign targeted to areas where the dollar circulates - which is no small task.&nbsp; Changing money for just money that only circulated in the USA would be relatively easy.&nbsp; I have been the recipient of older bills, like those from 1980&#039;s etc because I can authenticate them and take them back to the USA to spend or deposit.&nbsp; Otherwise in E. Europe they are NO good at all.&nbsp; People do not trust anything out of ordinary and known.</p><p><br /></p><p>The new colourised $100&#039;s were originally slated to be released into circulation next month but with the flaw they discovered it might actually be a couple more years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
