<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1440297, member: 19065&quot;]I rather think that U.S. currency currently has sufficient symbols of liberty in place, such that adding the word &quot;liberty&quot; would just be redundant and clutter the design of notes that have been effective at protecting the currency and projecting the image of liberty crafted and defended by those persons and institutional structures represented on U.S. currency.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&nbsp; highly doubt that such a change as you suggest is something that we will be seeing&nbsp; added to the currency any time soon. It would simply entail massive&nbsp; redesign efforts and the creation of and implementation of new printing plates. That&#039;s not something that&nbsp; happens on a whim by deciding to add new features to currency just to be consistent with coinage. It would&nbsp; also mean that new awareness campaigns about the new designs would have to be&nbsp; launched globally so people would know to accept and use the new notes as&nbsp; authentic U.S. currency. Those things all costs a tremendous amount of money and as we have seen with the number of years it has taken to re-deisgn each denomination with the so-called &#039;large head&#039; design, it&#039;s not something that rolls out quickly. Additionally, the redesign of the $2 notes is NOT something in the works. Government spending cutbacks that are currently hot topic issues being debated and being curtailed are further indicators that there will not be such a redesign anytime soon, not lest new security features are needed to protect the currency from counterfeits. </p><p><br /></p><p><i>But in the meantime,</i> if the so-called &quot;new&quot; $100 note&nbsp; is ever finished and issued with its current design, it would feature&nbsp; an image of the &quot;Liberty Bell in the ink well&quot;, so maybe that&#039;s something to hold you over.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, some might say that &#039;legal tender&#039; isn&#039;t a form of, Liberty such that it&#039;s fitting not to have it on paper currency... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
