What is up with this? Are they changing the design of the dollar or what? Because funsubstance is always the place where you get information on the american government such as the NSA, the shutdown and so on...
A few years ago they passed a new law that requires paper money to have a new design every few years. And coins to receive a new design every several years. It's to help fight counterfeiting
But most people don't check for those. I mean, have you ever seen anyone questioned a large stack of cash that's handed to them? Of course, I suppose counterfeiting schemes are used for bigger things than going out and buying a can of Pringles.
The five dollar bill has had the color purple on it for a long time. I remember getting so excited that they changed the 5 to purple when I was little because it was my favorite color.
