Message:: [QUOTE="Drago the Wolf, post: 933052, member: 22476"]I went to a coin shop to cash in some silver, and I was talking to them about reissuing $500, and $1,000 bills as well as issuing a $200 bill, and they told me that, some places in Europe are trying to ban and phase out the 500 Euro note, so, if that is the case, I might as well not seek to try to get anything larger than $100 issued in the U.S. again. :crying: I am now shifting my lobbying efforts completely to redesigning the $2 bill, the half dollar coin, and even a redesign of the $1 bill. Yes folks, a redesign of the $1 bill. You know? That issue Congress always seems to stop from happening due to the cost to vendors and small businesses?" The fact is, I am getting sick of the old $1 and $2 bill looks. I want to see redesigned big head $1 and $2 bills with some color added. In fact, as I said, I also want to see ALL denominations in polymer plastic so that our U.S. FRNs last longer and are more sanitary. I give up on $1 and $2 coins because I believe that, if the government really wanted to replace the bills with the coins, it would have been done, what? 30-40 years ago? How long have they been trying? But the American public has spoken, and apparently, the general public's words are the most important words in this issue. So, I am still going to push for a redesigned $2 bill, only I am going to probably advocate the return of the Monticello, as, believe it or not, I love the Monticello design on the reverse of the red seal $2 bills a LOT better than the current signing of the Declaration of Independence reverse on the current green seal $2 bills, contrary to many other people's opinion, who like the current $2 bill's reverse design the best. The half dollar coin, I will still advocate my "Famous Dogs Half Dollar Coin Act" no matter how stupid it sounds, because, there have been a lot of other ideas accepted that seem like dumb ideas. Like especially two different dollar coin programs (Native American and Presidential) going on at the same time for a coin denomination most people do not want, and never use or receive in change, unless by a machine. As for the $1 bill. I just want a simple modernized redesign of the $1 bill similar to the redesign sketch that the Coin Coalition had drawn up by an artist, to show Congress what they did NOT want to happen. I liked how they got rid of the huge spelling of "ONE" in the middle and merged both of the seals together on the reverse. Its a very nice design. But even that design would have to be upgraded due to the fact that it is styled after the first currency redesign, with the oval still around the portrait, but with another slight redesign, the proposed sketched design could work. And of course some added color would be nice.  Finally, all veding machines should be programmed and retooled to accept and dispense $2s and halves as I have said time and time again, however, this time, I am meaning that maybe there should be a law enacted that ALL vending and self checkout machines must start being manufactured to accept and dispense ALL denominations, including $2s and halves, because they ARE LEGAL TENDER currency for all debts, public and private. So even though I know that the government can't "force" any specific denomination on us, they should still enact a law that states ALL new coin and currency machines MUST be equipt to accept and dispense ALL current denominations of coins and currency, except the dollar coin on the dispensing issue of course. The $1 coin should be "acepted", by self checkouts, but not dispensed from self checkouts unless the machine runs out of $1 bills and can switch automatically to give out $1 coins in their place. Only certain vending machines should dispense $1 coins, as people somply do not want them. But I do agree that all machines should at least accept $1 coins.  I think its time to redesign the $1 and $2 bills and also, halves, and it is time to get $2s and halves circulating once more. :hail:[/QUOTE]
