<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 1825933, member: 11668&quot;]Right.&nbsp; Now that the Kodachrome design generation is complete (with the issue of the new $100), nothing else is going to be redesigned for quite a few years.&nbsp; The next design generation is scheduled to begin around 2020, and *that&#039;s* the generation that (according to the top post of this thread) will include a redesigned $2.&nbsp; We&#039;ll likely see several more series of current-design notes in the meantime, in all denominations.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The next design generation will include tactile features to allow the blind to identify different denominations by touch.&nbsp; These features are being added by court order, to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.&nbsp; Therefore, it appears that they&#039;ll have to be incorporated into all denominations, including the $2.&nbsp; (The $1 is specifically excluded from the court order because Congress prohibited any changes to the $1 a while back.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Edited to add:</b> <a href="http://www.moneyfactory.gov/images/Meaningful_Access_White_Paper_06-25-13.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.moneyfactory.gov/images/Meaningful_Access_White_Paper_06-25-13.pdf" rel="nofollow">Here&#039;s a BEP document</a> (PDF) from a few months ago, laying out the current status of the next design generation.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t specifically mention the $2, but it does say that the tactile features and large high-contrast numerals will be added to &quot;each Federal Reserve note the BEP is permitted by law to alter&quot;, with a footnote explaining that the BEP &quot;is not permitted to redesign the $1 Federal Reserve note&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
