<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dponsness, post: 385056, member: 14967&quot;]What you are seeing with this, IMHO, is the precursor to the end of the $1 FRN.&nbsp; Given the court decision last month - about our currency not being &quot;friendly&quot; to the blind and vision impared - it is a given that the Treasury will have to re-design all of the FRN&#039;s (with the exception of the $5 perhaps) soon.&nbsp; From what I understood, the options are to either vary the sizes of the notes <u>or</u> add &quot;features&quot; to them to comply with the court decision.&nbsp; I think the courts will do what the politicians couldn&#039;t/wouldn&#039;t do!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>From a standpoint of economy, it would make sense to quit producing the $1 FRN as there is already a suitable replacement for it already (at least that is what the gov&#039;t can say).&nbsp; And since the $5 would then be the lowest denomination FRN in common circulation - and would probably be OK as is - only the $10, $20, $50 and $100 would need to be modified by either changing their sizes and/or adding new features.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I can then foresee the inevitable issuance of a $2 coin as well once the initial public acceptance of the end of the $1 FRN note is set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
