When will we have a new US $1 design?

So, the 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 etc have all been updated. What about the
$1? It just doesn't match anymore! :-)

Neither does the $2 bill, but the government says no redesign is
planned for the $1 or $2. Counterfeiting is not a problem with these
bills, which is the major reason for redesigning the other bills.

Hopefully the $1 bill will be discontinued before it is ever redesigned.

It should be dropped altogether.

How would one get change?

In Pocahontas dollars, of course.

Do you really want those heavy dollar coins in your pocket? I'll take
the bills. Didn't you mean Sacagaweas' Darren? Where are the Pocahontas
dollars?

If 8.1 grams each is "heavy", then you should get a coin pouch installed on
your wheelchair.

And you should be dedicating 100% of your waking hours to the end of the
cent coin since it weighs so much for the value (do the math).

Sorry Fred, I didn't mean to invoke so much anger on the subject. All is
cool, relax. And besides, Lincolns are my favorite and original
collection. I hope they never stop making them. If any monetary thing
should be changed, at least put Reagan (Ronny) on a bill of some sort. I
don't want to dethrone any great president by any means. Just give
Reagan the $50 or $100 bill. It might take 30 more years, but I bet it
will happen. I'm no political freak to begin with, so don't accuse me of
that. But when is the Hillary nickel coming? Please don't reply to that
last question.

Ah, welcome to the 21st century! We've had small, lightweight,
conveniently sized dollar coins since the 1990s!

Fair enough. Have fun unrolling, straightening, unfolding, taping
together, swearing at vending machines and all those other oh-so-fun
dollar bill related activities!

Padraic.

Well, almost all of my purchases are via my bank debit card. I almost never touch currency for the
purpose of spending. Plus, why would you ever need to have more than a small number of them in your
pocket from change? I have had (when I DO have currency on me) a few quarters in my pocket at one
time. No problem there. I, for one, would be thrilled to have dollar coins in the size of the old
Ikes and Morgans. I think those are great coins.

No, I meant Pocahontas.

Or think of any other trivially important "historical figure" put on a coin for politically-correct
reasons. It'd fit just as well, concidering that the person on the coin is just some model and not
any type of representation of Sacagawea OR Pocahontas.
