<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1279195, member: 22476&quot;]No, there are no plans to redesign the $1 or $2 notes. But I wish there was. The Series 2009 $1 bills are already out, and have been for a while and are the same design as the Series 2006. There is also an order of Series 2009 $2 notes planned for fiscal year 2012, and I doubt they will be redesigned either, seeing as there was no announcment or unveiling of a new design $2 note. That and the Bureau of Engraving &amp; Printing&#039;s words &quot;There are no plans to redesign the $2 note&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My reason for checking this thread too. I was hoping it would say that they are finally changing their minds about not redesigning the $1 (and $2) notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a little mention. I really wish the Treasury would redesign the $1 and $2 notes for us collectors to have a little more eye candy, but all they keep telling me , is that they do not redesign the currency for aesthetic reasons and only for anti-counterfeitinbg features, and the $1 and $2 are not counterfeited enough. But I do not see a reason not to update the designs at least, if not add a few security features, other than it hurting small businesses and the vending industry a bit, but as I&#039;ve said, I&#039;ve head of no problem of these retailers updating for the new $5 notes and they are seen about as common as $1 notes, so why not redesign the $1 and the $2 might actually get more attention if redesigned. </p><p><br /></p><p>And the thing is, the $1 note WAS in the original plans for the first currency redesign, and the $2 note was kind of not totally decided, but I later in the 1990s wrote to the Treasury &quot;Is the $2 note going to be redesigned like the other denominations?&quot; and my response from the BEP was &quot;The $2 note will be redesigned&quot; That was all that they put in my letter. What in the heck could have made them change their minds?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
