<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1360463, member: 22476&quot;]Thats what I thought.

I don&#039;t see what the big deal is, though, seeing as the $5 bill was redesigned twice, and the vending and small business industry had no problems with those bills. Although I DID read somewhere that the vending industry was not happy with the second redesign of the $5 bill, and somewhere it was stated that, the current purple $5 bill would be the LAST redesign of the $5 bill, however, when I talked to the BEP, they said that they had never heard that the $5 bill would never be redesigned again, so I&#039;m guessing that was just a rumor. It doesn&#039;t matter now if it was a rumor or not, because of the court ruling for the next currency redesign stating that ALL denominations, including the $5 bill (and hopefully, the $2 bill) except for the $1 bill, for the reasons stated above.</p><p><br /></p><p>But because of the fact that language is always passed to prohibit the redesign of the $1 bill, I do wonder if there are some people in Congress or the Treasury that have interest in redesigning the $1 bill. But they have not redesigned the $2 bill yet, and there is NOTHING to my knowledge, blocking them from redesigning the $2 bill, so, why would they redesign the $1 bill, even if they were premitted to? Maybe because the $1 bill circulates a lot more than the $2 bill? (If so, still a stupid reason not to redesign the $2 bill, just as the reasons for not redesigning the $1 bill are stupid)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
