<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 79502, member: 4373&quot;]I honestly think the printing bureau does take the value of US paper money very seriously. You must also not forget that the world isn&#039;t just US alone but also US paper bills are used overseas, from Russia to other small countries. And note that when travellers travel to such countries, they obviously don&#039;t bring too many small denomination notes but bigger denominations. Of course, there are plenty of stories that there are quite a fair bit of stores in the US don&#039;t take such big bills etc but that&#039;s how the rest of the world and probably criminal worlds work. There are plenty of countries that don&#039;t accept 100 dollar bills that are any older than 1996 if I am not mistaken. Therefore the bigger denomination notes are first priorized. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the lower denomination, why are there no new designs for now? Let&#039;s go back to the issue of US notes circulating worldwide especially the poor people. These people and in some cases, children, work less than 1 dollar at quite extreme countries and if you introduced something new, they fear that these might be fake notes instead. Indeed, you might think it is a laughing matter but if you see the paronia of their faces, it will give you a lasting effect. I remembered this when the US dollar was modified around 96. Some money changers refused to exchange it and I had to bring it to the banks for a horrible exchange rate. </p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore, my best guess is that by introducing the higher denomination value first, it will first sink into the people&#039;s image that the design of US dollars have changed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
