Did you know, the 'plastic' $100 bills actually smell like maple syrup. True fact, no word of a lie.

Especially the little see through plastic slit, really hard to copy[/QUOTE]
Australian money is great, all the crazy patterns are actually copy prevention measures, they both make it had to copy and easy to detect faults in. It also hides microtext that validates the note. It's very hard to rip or tear since it's made mostly of plastics.
Also it's colourful like a fucking money rainbow.

the US has pretty much the coolest currency in the world[/QUOTE]
I would prefer we never change out money, it's too iconic the world over, and it's been the way it is. All US Dollars should be modeled after the 1 dollar bill, with one change; the border of the bill will be given a colour that represents it's value for quick identification.
Red for 1's, Blue for 5's, Cyan for 10's, Yellow for 20's, Purple for 50's, Green for 100's.

There'd be nothing stopping the US from honoring the current designs if they made the shift to polymer bank notes. For example, the building side of the $100 note offers two great spots for transparent windows, and the US Federal Reserve seal would work nicely as a holographic seal.
Personally speaking as an Australian however, the designs aren't THAT iconic internationally. They could stand to receive an upgrade. :v:
I wouldn't want the US dollar's design to change, it's just so iconic. They should just make plastic money with the old design and that's all
I don't see it.
Fun fact: Canadian 100 dollar bills smell like maple
why do we have to have that old hag printed on our money in 2012 again?
I've actually been to that war memorial.

I personally prefer the current dollar bills.
