Unfortunately I don't think that we'll adopt notes in different sizes for different denominations any sooner than we'll retire the presidents tho.
but we did retire the presidents. from 1979~2006 no president appeared on $1 coins. or didnt you mean on paper money having no presidents? Franklin was never a president of anything except PEnnsylvania, yet he is on the $100?
What if our coins were science?
Imagine having something as sturdy as a coin instead of a flimsy credit card. You put the coin into a machine and it works like a credit card and does the transaction and spits your personal coin back out.
You get to design your own personal coin and then not only do you have your electronic banking device, but your pocket piece is the same thing! Every coin is unique and issued by the mint or by your bank like a check card or credit card company.
What wold happen to coin collecting? Instead of collecting dead presidents would you collect your deceased family members? Celebrities? If Bansky got their design on a coin, would the electronic data or the artwork be worth more?
What would the personal coin of different people be like, would the be like class rings that have the specific themes? Steve Jobs would have been the Apple logo? Walt Disney would have been Mickey Mouse. Bill Nye would have a Bill Nye coin. Stallone would have a Rambo or Rocky Balboa? Maybe he would have two, one for business and one for personal so each would be a half Balboa?
What future tech could we look forward too? All the fondle devices now have gotten silly, the only thing left really since we have gone ot space, envisioned living on the moon and other planets is that money starts spending us! Every thing else is science fiction like Jules Verne wrote until such a time as it becomes science fact.
