Poll Question
As I said, I would want President Willaim McKinley from the Series 1928/1934/1934A $500 bill retained on the front of the new $500 bill, if reissued, just as Thomas Jefferson was kept on the front of the $2 bill when it was reissued in 1976. I wish they would go back to the Monticello reverse $2 bill with the upcoming redesign as well. The front of the new $500 bill should also feature a golden 3D Motion security ribon woven into the paper with little moving "500s" that turn into small "eagles" or something reprsenting Liberty, color-shifting ink in the lower right-hand numeral, and similar to the "Bell in the Inkwell" on the new $100 bill, I think that the $500 bill should have an "Eagle in the Statue of Liberty" which would be a golden colored Statue of Liberty, with a small, but not too small golden color-shifting ink eagle that turns green if you tilt the bill, in the Statue of Liberty's body, or some other form of shigting ink object similar to the "Bell in the Inkwell" theme on the $100 bill that represents Liberty. I also think that they should keep the same reverse theme that the Series 1928/1934/1934A McKinley $500 bill had on it, which was a large oval with the numeral "500" on it, with the second 0 in the 500 slightly bigger than the 5 and last 0 that surrounded it. The different things I would add to the reverse is a large vertical-platinum colored "500" on the right of the bill, similar to the $100 bill's large verical golden-colored "100" and "In God" on the left side of the large oval with 500, and "We Trust" to the right side of the oval with 500, some microprinting within the design theme of the oval with 500 design and some speckles of little yellow "500s" around the oval with 500 and a splash on sone type of color theme (perhaps yellow, representing "gold" but light enough to see the little yellow 500s) And as a very special and unique anti-counterfeiting feature from all other denominations, there should be color shifting ink that makes up the large numeral "500" in the middle on the centered oval, that turns from green to copper when the bill is tilted. Thats right. Color-shifting ink on the BACK of the bill as well as on the front, to make it even harder for counterfeiters to fake. Anyway, in you're opinion, do we keep the McKinley obverse, and oval with large 500 reverse, or do something new? (Why do I get the feeling "Ronald Reagan" is going to be brought up in this thread?  )

I think the denomination-in-circle reverse theme is somewhat boring and 19th-century; you should be able to come up with something more interesting than that.
Perhaps, continuing the theme many US notes have of depicting on the back of the note some significant monument for or memorial to the person depicted on the other side, the back of a new McKinley $500 note could have a panoramic, 3-D full colour holographic view of Denali - known in some circles as Mount McKinley.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

The presidents of the old large bills were relevant be in their own time. But today we need to see newer faces. Maybe FDR should appear or Truman. People seem to love those guys for some sick reason.

I like Sap's idea- that would be a really cool reverse

Maybe you could come up with a more interesting revrerse, but that "denomination-in-circle" is mt favorite design of all U.S. Federal Reserve notes. And like I said, they could make that huge numeral "500" in the oval out of color-shifting ink, which could be a very secure and impressive security feature. Quote: The presidents of the old large bills were relevant be in their own time. But today we need to see newer faces. The only way I would like to see, or even agree to McKinley (and or the oval with 500 reverse) being replaced on the $500 bill, if if we changed the presidents/people on ALL denominations. Plus, even though the $500 bill has been out of circulation for almost 45 years, people who are old enough to remember the older $500 bills may get confused if someone other than McKinley were on the new $500 bill.
