<p>[QUOTE="NOS, post: 1365128, member: 2098"]Well I'll be Drago, I think I finally found something that I can agree with you on. :thumb: I think it would be pretty cool to put the Monticello back on the $2 note. Everything else that you post about though I don't really see eye-to-eye with too much. While I feel that you want the currency to be changed solely because it means a new design, I am against changing the currency to suit the visually impaired. This is being done for what, an extremely small percentage of the population whose vision is so poor they can't distinguish between a $5 note and a $20 note? For people in that situation they can easily use a hand-held device which tells them what denomination notes they have. The activists who pushed for these currency changes for the visually impaired will never be happy, they are like hard-core environmentalists in that they don't believe in meeting in the middle. The government added a large and purple "5" when they redesigned the $5 note to assist the visually impaired. Activists still complained that it wasn't good enough. No matter what is done they will want more and will find something to complain about. They will never be satisfied.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
