Redesign Of The $2 Bill

I prefer something a little more like this:

But I want the $2 bill to have its own color scheme, like a bluish-green tint of color, including an bluish-green opened scroll to the right of President Thomas Jeffereson, representing the Declaration of Independence, and a large dark blue or the green low-vision numeral "2" on the designs I posted links to in the lower right corner. Notice how the front of this $2 bill mock-up is on the current $5 bill, and the back is on the back of the current $20 bill. I also think that they should put two new watermarks in the new $2 bill. To the right of Jefferson, they should put a watermark of a large numeral "2" just like the current $5 bill has a large numeral "5" in that spot, but to the left of Jefferson, put a watermark of the spelling "TWO" in the three places where the little numeral "5s" appear on the $5 bill as opposed to three numeral "2s" as many people may mistake the three little numeral "2s" for numeral "5s" if they look at the bill too quickly, where they could tell three words "TWO" from three numeral 5s no problem. And even though it may not need it, the $2 bill should also get its own security thread that glows its own special color under ultraviolet light with "USA 2" going down it. This would prevent people from bleaching $2 bills and printing new $5-$100 bills on the genuine currency paper, as I have said. This major $2 bill redesign could pave the way for the replacement of the $1 bill with the dollar coin quite nicely, in my opinion.

(Just to clarify things, I did NOT create this $2 bill. Someone on the "Where's George?" website did, just so people know that I am not out there, creating counterfeit money)

This is the first time I have seen a proposed redesign of the $2 bill and I have to say who ever designed it on Wheres George did a nice job.
I would be quite satisfied if they really made the new $2 look similar to that.
Fox, you sound like you should be a designer for the BEP.

I really can't find a picture of what the rear of Montecello would look like. But I thing that the designed should be freshened up and hopefully it would cireculate more.

thestew,

The new design $2 bills are supposed to come out with the next series of U.S. currency redesigns. The BEP recently printed a run of Series 2009 current style $2 bills, but the supply is only supposed to last until 2014, which is when I am thinking the next redesign is going to start, since the new $100 bills come out this year (or are supposed to anyway) that will mark a 10 year period of the NexGen Series (2003-2013) and the Treasury has said the currency redesigns will happen every 7-10 years or so, so, maybe they already have some of the redesigned $2 bills to come out in 2014, after Series 2009 runs out.

For many, those are fighting words!

The $2 still is a surprise to most people as they've rarely seen one before or maybe even never seen one. I usually like to leave old '57 $1 S.C.s part of tip, but it's the same idea as Harold.

I have a nagging suspicion that if Nina worked at the BEP she'd have "WE THE PEOPLE" replace "IN GOD WE TRUST" on all bills haha

Perhaps a bilingual bill that says TWO DOLLARS/DOS BARROS .... hee hee chuckle

Monticello's already on the nickel, no? Or was that discontinued?

Considering hispanic-americans are one of the fastest growing groups in the U.S., it is quite possible to one day see Spanish next to English on U.S. currency.

@Nina: as a fellow cashier, you get a intimate knowledge of how quickly you go through your change. Singles/Quarters/pennies fly through the door while nickels last the longest easily.
It seems obvious, but only those who have been through our line of work usually realizes.
