Yes, every US state will be forced to give up its own currency and the new federal currency will be accepted in every state.

Well the old money will probly still be good. I really doubt they change that, but I do bet that anytime greenbacks that have new 'racially divisive term'(colored) replacements go to a bank they never come out.

AHHhhh...
One day closer to a cashless society. Of course the old bills will be destroyed. Not only that, it will be ILLEGAL to keep them in any large quantities other than souvenirs. What's going to happen is that there will be "something wrong" with the NEW "colorful" bills that will make them obsolete about 2 days after the old money is all destroyed. There will be lots of legislation signed really quick by both parties to take care of this "unfortunate" mistake. Ten reasons why 90% of the American sheeple will accept a cashless society without a fight. They will believe that; 1. You cannot lose it. 2. The new technology to work with a credits- only society will lead to more jobs. 3. You will not need to do your taxes as they will be done automatically for you. 4. No need to print money or mint coins looks like the government can "stop spending". 5. No money leaving the country illegaly. 6. No money coming in illegaly. 7. Gee, it's a really good way to track terrorists and people who buy bad things. 8. People like having cards with their name and photo on it. I dont know why, but they just do, It makes them feel like they "belong". 9. The security of a "dna" encoded card means you wont have money stolen. 10. Its good because the gubmint says so. 666 |

It's more of anti-counterfitting I'm willing to bet. Your old money will still be good just as the old "silver certificates" and "horse blanket" dollars from the last century are still good today. Bring me in some Morgan silver (or gold!) dollars and I'll even give you $2 for everyone you give me [:D]. Trust me. |

We do loose billions of dollars a year due to the counterfitting that goes on. Some other countries actually print our money in an attempt to destroy us. This cheapens our money, stealing money from our treasury without even entering the country. The newly designed money was in response to the "super bills" that were manufacutured in the mid-east in the 80's and 90's. |

Super Bills are counterfeits of US currency that are nearly indistinguishable from real money. Most fakes, even the good ones, are easily spotted by trained inspectors that work for the treasury but super bills have to be heavily scrutinized to find the flaws identifying them as counterfeit.
I'm not a money specialist, but I did watch a Discovery channel show on counterfeiting the night before last. FYI...the best counterfeits ever made* were done by a guy called "King Kong" in Bangkok. He even did some of the final touches by hand after printing them on a homemade press. He made an estimated $4M in $100 bills before they caught him and his notes had circled the globe. *This is not taking into account the foreign countries that are suspected of counterfeiting US notes, namely Iran. |

Pardon the paranoia, but I do believe the old currency will become void. What a great way to hit the black market economy. The money might also have chips so that computers can track the movements of $100's.
Personally I am not worried, since I only have hard currency in the house right now, pennies, dimes & nickles. [rolleyes] |

Quoted: Pardon the paranoia, but I do believe the old currency will become void. No, the national reserve will slowly pull it out of circulation and destroy it, replacing the bills with new ones. Just like they are constantly doing. Once money is legal tender, it's always legal tender. It's not something that can be voided. |

You can laugh at me all you want.
Our government is chomping at the bit to get all money or "credits" traceable. Why do you think my tinfoil hat is on at the moment? (it is but thats another story...LOL) Seriously, have you ANY idea how much tax our government is losing (not being able to steal) by having "private transactions" take place? Private money transactions are NOT a Constitutional right. The only thing that currently allows them is the little disclaimer on the current notes that say it's legal tender for public or private transactions. Approximately 10% of the worlds economy is in the form of paper money. The U.S. probably has 35-40% of that 10% (3%-4% global total). It would be nothing for them discard the paper system, Yet their gain (taxes, terrorism tracing, ease of snooping, drug war use) would be phenomenal. |

US notes are not worth anything until they are designated legal tender and from then on they can be used as currency. Every note ever distributed by the federal government in the US that has been deemed legal tender is still worth exactly it's face value, at least. $10,000 bills were pulled decades ago but I could take one to any bank today and get change for it. Since this whole thread was specifically about US dollars I thought that everyone would know that I was also speaking specifically about US dollars. Sorry for any confusion.... |

Interesting, especially since government spending has increased greatly without tax hikes to finance them. I guess the plan is just print money like crazy and keep lowering interest rates. Borrow, borrow, inflate, inflate. It's only a matter of time before inflation really starts kicking in. It wont be as bad as Weimar Germany, but I think there's going to be a double whammy of unemployment and rising inflation very soon. |

yes, greenbacks will always be legal tender. they will, however, be slowly removed from circulation.

The reason that the anti-counterfeiting "updates" do not work is because when they change U.S. money, old money is still good. The only way to stop the counterfeiting of U.S. older style notes, is to do an "exchange", as was done with the Euro.....
