[QUOTE="jlg1130, post: 1156255, member: 26655"]Thanks everybody, for your responses. It seems like folks have varying degrees of small portrait note sightings. When I received the $5 pictured above, it really took me by surprise, as I really hadn't seen one since....Oh, I don't know, probably 1999, or 2000. It's been a good 10 years, at least. I'm glad it came my way, as I much prefer the small portrait designs, and I miss seeing them as much as I have in the past. Like jmf2737, they remind me of when I was a kid, and my grandmother would always give me a few bucks for my birthday. The new, colorized notes aren't bad, but the generation in between those, and the small portraits was abysmal, in my opinion. They just look boring, and depressing. In response to Drago's comment on replacing the $1 and $2 notes with coins: I'd have to say, a $1 coin wouldn't bother me to much, but I love the $2. I'd hate to see it go. In my opinion, it is the most aesthetically pleasing, of the current notes, especially the reverse. .....and as far as Krispy finding small portarit $1's almost everyday, I have only one thing to say....wiseguy..lol. :)[/QUOTE]
