It appears that the coin might replace the $1 bill almost completely that soon the $1 bill might get out of circulation. As a result of this combined with the fact that Alexander Hamilton is no longer as well-remembered as he was back in 1928, the year that follows whatever year this happens (I believe it might be sometime around 2020) might be a time to change the portraits on the bills as follows:

The $2 bill changes from Thomas Jefferson to George Washington

The $5 bill changes from Abraham Lincoln to Thomas Jefferson

The $10 bill changes from Alexander Hamilton to Abraham Lincoln

The $20, $50, and $100 bills, however, will not change portraits.

What are your votes??

I think it's quite a demotion for Washington to go from the one-dollar bill to the two-dollar bill. --Bkell 18:31, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)


Surely being on a higher denomination (curculating) bill is more desirable? otherwise why not put old George on the cent coin MrWeeble 23:16, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Why would anyone want to put George Washington on the cent coin?? He is already on the quarter coin and it is silly for there to be 2 coins with the same portrait.
