<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1222368, member: 22476&quot;]Hey,</p><p><br /></p><p>Thought I&#039;d give everyone an update on how my coin and currency legislation idea is going. My Congressman&#039;s Secretary is working, in what sounded in a determined way, to get new $2 bills, especially, but that she would also fight to get the Congressman interested in new $200 and $500 bills as well and possibly new $1,000 bills. She said that the &quot;Famous Dogs Half Dollar&quot; idea wasn&#039;t well received, so, they were going to do a version of the bill without that part, to which I told them, it was no big deal, because I knew that honoring dogs on a United States coin or currency note was a losing battle anyway, but I did, however, ask her about a half dollar redesign program featuring the current Kennedy obverse, but with a few new reverses each year, picturing historical buildings and monuments such as the Monticello, White House, Washington Monument etc., and she said that, that idea would make more sense, especially since most of our paper currency already features such buildings. But we both agreed that changing the $2 bill to combat challenges for the visually impaired was the most important issue, followed by addressing the inflation issue by issuing new $200, $500, and possibly $1,000 U.S. Federal Reserve notes. I asked the lady if she thought going as far as a $1,000 bill would be pushing my luck, or going a bit too far, and she told me that, she couldn&#039;t really tell me, because she is not the type of person who would carry a $500 bill, let alone a $1,000 bill, however, she did say it depends on what the Congress and Treasury were interested in printing, and they may go for a $1,000 FRN to actively combat the E500 note. And the final, and least important issue of mine, was to get at least, some kind of program going with the half, just to try to get havles back into circulation, or at least boost their popularity to the same level as the PrezBux and Sacs. Anyway, thats about the status. Oh, except I also mentioned adding a few security features to the $1 bill without redesigning it, just so would-be bleach counterfeiters could not bleach a current $1 bill and print a pre-Series 1990 $2-$100 or soon, even possibly a pre (insert year here) $500 or $1,000 bill on the genuine currency paper, which would evade the pen test.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, anyway, as least this kind-hearted lady is helping me with these issues, and I may now have a winner on my side. I will settle for new $2, $200, and $500 bills, but new halves and $1,000 bills and $1 bills with new security features wouldn&#039;t be too shabby either. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Sorry that I keep bringing these issues up, but I just thought some people here would like an update. :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
