In response to "I am not happy with the plan to remove Hamilton from the $10 bill. I do want a woman on a bill but leave Hamilton alone. Take Jackson off the $20. " by Krusty

I'd enjoy a refresh that rotates people of distinction every 5 or so years. -- nm

I think so too, but I'd suggest every ten-fifteen. You guys have seven notes, and you don't want to change them too quickly. - Roger More Jun 18, 06:48 9
- Americans are almost pathological in their fear of change to their currency and coinage. - TWuG Jun 18, 06:52 8
  - I'm from a country that got rid of its pennies and converted $1 and $2 notes into coins 30 years ago. You don't have to tell me ;) -- nm - Roger More Jun 18, 07:01 1
    - i had a penny in my wallet's change compartment this week. and i was annoyed. "where the hell did i get *that*?" - Andie Jun 18, 07:06
  - the all-one-colour thing is really not user-friendly. You know who has awesome currency? Norway! -- (link) - Andie Jun 18, 06:54 5
    - We've added color to our new bills. They look cool but a bit weird still. -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 07:02
    - I remember seeing a design contest and one of the best ones had the Bill of Rights spread across the different bills. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 06:56 1
      - don't go spreading radical ideas -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 18, 11:01
    - The Euro is done really well. Bright color AND the larger the denomination, the larger the physical size of the bill - TWuG Jun 18, 06:56 1
      - the pound does as well, (right?) -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 06:58
Not a bad idea but would likely be expensive. -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 06:48 2
- They have a new "series" every couple of years anyway, which denotes some change to the bill. Any change requires new plates, so make the change - TWuG Jun 18, 06:51
- Notes have to be upgraded for new security measures anyway. And the UK does this, so it can't be that expensive. -- nm - Roger More Jun 18, 06:49
