<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1540873, member: 22476&quot;]I keep on waiting, and waiting, and waiting, emailing the BEP every couple months, asking them:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I KNOW there is NO SET &quot;release date&quot; but can you AT LEAST tell me if they are &quot;close&quot; ro &quot;announcing&quot; a release date?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>All I ever get from them, is that, they don&#039;t know, and that the Fed is the one in charge of that decission. Maybe I should try calling the Fed again (I have before) and ask if they are close to releasing a release date. My mother keeps on saying &quot;They should just scrap all of these current new colorized $100 notes, and wait till the start the NEXT currency redesign, to issue a new $100 note&quot; and I told her &quot;No. They should either just release what they have right now that they know is good, and who cares if people find some errors? People will sell them at a premium. Ooh, Ahh. Big deal&quot;. OR they should simply make the $100 note be the last denomination to be redesigned in the next (Meaningful Accress) currency redesign, since they will be redesigning the $50, $20, $10, $5, and even the $2 note has been confirmed as part of the next round&#039;s redesign, so, release a denomination each year, or maybe with a couple more years worth of time spread out in the gap, and the &quot;new colorized&quot; $100 note will be at least seven years old, as how they do the redesign schedule, and they can redesign the $100 note seven years after the &quot;current&quot; new colorized $100 note comes out. This will give the new $100 notes time to wear out, as the lifespan of a $50 and $100 note is usually around nine years or so, but I have heard from a Federal Reserve Bank in an email, before the &quot;Series 1996 non-colorized&quot; redesign happened, that the lifespan of a $2 note was either thirty-four or thirty-six years old. (I can&#039;t remember which, but I believe that the lifespan of a $2 note has since been reduced, as people are using them more, or so I am reading. Where are they using them? I don&#039;t know, because the only time they&#039;re using them where I go, its ME who is using them. (Then there are those stupid &quot;strip club&quot; arguments out there that I read about from time to time).</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I hope that the new $100 notes are released by summer of 2013, or I am going to be very disappointed. If we are given a six months&#039; notice tomorrow, you might as well call it October and say that the new $100 note will be released in March or April at earliest. Those are usually about the months they come out with new design U.S. currency, so it wouldn&#039;t suprise me. Plus the BEP was only planning on printing enough &quot;current style&quot; $2 notes to last until 2014, so, I&#039;d say 2013 should be the year for the current new $100 note, so that they can start printing up the new Meaningful Access $2 notes (Even if the $2 is not the first denomination to be redesigned in that series)</p><p><br /></p><p>(I wonder how much public education efforts will be put into the redesigned $2 note&#039;s introduction in the Meaningful Access redesign)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
