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??

Washington on the dollar coin and the $5 bill (thus, keeping the pattern of Washington on the highest generally circulating coin and the smallest generally circulating bill).  Lincoln bumped up to the $10 and the quarter (dropping the penny), Hamilton bumped up to the $20 (or Lincoln bumped up to the $20, Hamilton staying on the $10).  The $50 and $100 stay the same.  Another idea - Washington on the $20 bill, Lincoln on the $1 coin, again, killing the penny  06:27, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Oh, and while we're at it, let's add a $500 bill.  And make our bills prettier  06:29, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I think it's quite a demotion for Washington to go from the one-dollar bill to the two-dollar bill.  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  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.

MrWeeble, no one in the United States ever uses two-dollar bills. They are considered rarities.  21:17, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

My vote is that they kill the Sacajawea dollar. I hate coins so much. - 09:18, Mar 5, 2004 (UTC)

Branddobbe, please don't say such a naughty thing. Please say instead, "I don't like coins because..." with a detailed explanation.

Would you rather use bills for everything, even cents?  06:17, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
