<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 83261, member: 66&quot;]If they wanted to make special 1, 2, and 5 dollar notes for sale to collectors this would be the way to do it.&nbsp; The idea of redesigning these low denomination notes just to create something to sell o collectors would not be cost effective.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think you understand just how much it would cost to create the design and engrave the new master plate.&nbsp; It makes sense when you are doing it for a production note that will be reproduced in 100&#039;s of millions of copies but not to produce a couple hundred thousand notes for collectors.&nbsp; A new plate requires the work of a dozen or more high trained and well paid engravers and would take close to a year to create.&nbsp; A new coin design probably costs 30 to 60 thousand dollars to create.&nbsp; A new currency design probably costs close to a million.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
