Message:: [QUOTE="Numbers, post: 2760882, member: 11668"]Remember, they don't change the date on currency every year, but only when there's actually some change made to the notes, like a new signature or a new design. In this case, we'll be gettting a Series 2017 because both signatures will be changing.  Rios and Geithner, who signed Series 2013, are both out of office now.  The new Secretary of the Treasury, Steven Mnuchin, has been in office since February.  A new Treasurer, Jovita Carranza, was appointed several weeks ago, but as far as I know she hasn't actually been sworn in yet. Once she's in office, the BEP will have both new signatures that it needs to begin making printing plates for Series 2017.  Based on past new series, we can expect that it'll then take about three months for the first denomination of Series 2017 to start rolling off the presses, with additional denominations following at the rate of about one per month. The length of time it takes for newly-printed currency to make its way into circulation can be quite variable.  Series 2017 will probably show up *somewhere* within a month or two of being printed, but if you don't happen to be in a part of the country where the first few shipments of new currency are sent, it could easily take six months or more before the new notes make their way to you.  So if you're unlucky, you might not see any Series 2017 currency until 2018.[/QUOTE]
