<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 780151, member: 22476&quot;]Here&#039;s an idea I had on redesigning the $2 bill. You may have seen it, along with a couple more proposals on the internet:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>LOUISIANA PURCHASE $2 BILL ACT</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Section 1. Short Title </p><p><br /></p><p>This Act may be cited as the &quot;Louisiana Purchase $2 Bill Act&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Sec. 2. Redesign and Issuance of a $2 Federal Reserve Note, Featuring a Louisiana Purchase Theme. </p><p><br /></p><p>(a) Notwithstanding the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury under the 8th undesignated paragraph of section 16 of the Federal Reserve Act, beginning January 1, 2010, Federal reserve notes in the denomination of $2 shall be redesigned to feature a Louisiana Purchase theme, and a low-vision numeral on the reverse, an enlarged portrait of President Thomas Jefferson, two watermarks, one of a huge numeral &quot;2&quot; to the right of Jefferson&#039;s portrait, and a watermark of the spelling &quot;TWO&quot; to the left of President Jefferson on the new $2 bill, in the same three spots that the three small numeral &quot;5s&quot; appear on the left of President Lincoln&#039;s portrait on the new NexGen $5 bills, as opposed to three little numeral &quot;2s&quot; to help people detect a counterfeit $5 bill printed on a bleached $2 bill easier, clusters of little yellow &quot;02s&quot; on the reverse and/or obverse, a tint of bluish green, including an image of a blue scroll on the front of these new $2 bills, as the symbol to represent Liberty in the form of the Declaration of Independence. The low-vision numeral would be the same size as the new $5 bill&#039;s huge purple 5, but blue in color. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sec. 3 Return to Monticello Design </p><p><br /></p><p>Louisiana Purchase themed $2 bills shall only be issued for one year, for commemorating the bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase. After a one year issuance of new Louisiana Purchase themed $2 bills for a one year program, the $2 bill shall revert back to a permanent modern NexGen Monticello $2 bill reverse. These new $2 bills would retain all other designs, security features, and color added to them, including the bluish green scroll representing Liberty in the form of the Declaration of Independence, on the obverse of the new $2 bills. These Monticello design $2 bills, shall be placed into circulation after December 31st 2010. </p><p><br /></p><p>END </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Note: Dates would need to be changed around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
