<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 808367, member: 22476&quot;]I heard about them planning on printing more $5s and $10s for FY2010, and that really scares me. Because, is there a chance that the new kodachrome $100s might come out in 2011 then? I have been waiting and wanting to see the new kodachrome $100 bill for 5 years now, when the oginal plans were to release the new $100s in 2005. Thats a long wait. :headbang:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I really hope that, by the time the $2 bill is printed again, which would likely be around the time that the currency is redesigned again, and since many articles I have read have stated that ALL denominations except the $1 bill MUST be redesigned to have features for the blind and visually inpaired, the $5-$100 was mentioned to be getting this redesign, so, WHAT ABOUT THE $2 BILL? The BEP has always told me that the $2 bill will STILL not be redesigned, and I have even wrote to the American Council of the Blind, urging them to push for a $2 bill redesign, as it stands, the $1 and $2 bills are probably the two &quot;hardest&quot; denominations to tell apart, especially in low-vision cases. The guy at the ACB told me that &quot;Most cashiers will be honest, and tell a visually impaired person if they are owed money when spending a $2 bill&quot; to which in these days I think &quot;Yeah, right&quot; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have also been trying to get the vending industry to lobby for a redesigned $2 bill with the next redesigned $5 bill so that, when the vendors have their machines all taken apart to reprogram them to take the new $5s, they can also reprogram them to take a new $2 bill design, which would likely cause more $2 bill circulation for two reasons: 1. The $2 bill being redesigned, will cause hoarders to think &quot;Wow! They still print these things?! In that case, they are not rare collectibles, so I can spend them instead of hoarding them&quot; (although, the SERIES YEAR on the bill alone, should tell &quot;Averge Joe&quot; that) and 2. If vending machines, and self checkouts were reprogrammed to accept and dispense new $2 bills (some self checkouts already take the current $2, but thats not enough, as the denomination also NEEDS to be DISPENSED as well), people would use them in every day business. (Same thing with the half dollar, as I have said, &quot;Have all cash machines spit out $2s and halves as needed in change, (like the post office machines spit out $1 coins, just make sure these machines all also &quot;accept&quot; these two denominations) and FORCE these two denominations on the general public, and there will be the typical whining and complaining for a few months, and after that, they would just accept their money, in no matter what form and use it. People are not going to go out of the way and go to the bank to say &quot;Hey, can I get a strap of $2 bills and a couple rolls of halves, while you&#039;re at it?&quot; Just ain&#039;t gonna happen until they recieve these two denominations regularly, and machines accept and dispense them&quot; (Sorry for the repeat of this. This was just for the Newbes)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So anyway, I hope a redesign of the $2 bill is ordered by the next time they print them. Some websites have &quot;claimed&quot; that the current style $2 bill will be changed over to a new design, but hey, I&#039;ve heard that before, for years (a decade or so, actually), and so far, nothing has happened with the $2 denomination. 2012 or sooner or a bit later would be a good time to redesign the $2 bill, in my opinion. (But it would also be a good time to get rid of the $1 and $2 bills in favor of coins, if it hasn&#039;t been done by then. :whistle: )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
