Redesign Of The $2 Bill

Using cents, nickels, dimes, and quarters only, the average number of coins given out in a random environment (that is, you don't sell mostly 99 cent burritos or 5 dollar footlongs)such as a supermarket, is roughly:

10 "cents" per every 5 transactions, or 2 each transaction
1 "nickle" per every 2 transactions, or .5 each transaction
20 "dimes" per every 25 transactions, or .8 each transaction
150 "quarters' per every 100 transactions, or 1.5 each transaction

So, for every nickel given out, on average, 4 cents, 1.6 dimes, and 3 quarters are given out.

This will change dramatically if certain items or groups of items are sold far more regularly than others, such as value meals at a fast food venue, or beer at the ballpark.

I love the $2 and think often about how it could benefit from a redesign. I would like to see an updated Declaration reverse more than anything else. It's one of my favorite elements of the bill. As mentioned before, it isn't a picture of some structure, it's an event. I love it. But let's add a little more color to it now. Time to get the $2 into the 21st Century.

That's not a bad design, actually.
