What is the hold up?
Since they said no new images of the proposed design will be unveiled until 2028, sounds to me like the design leaked and there might have been some evidence that counterfeiters were already working on fake bills. They may have had to scrap the entire plan if enough of the info got out and the bad guys were ahead of the curve.
So they will continue to use bills that counterfeiters have mastered for the next 9 years.
Makes sense.
Exactly. Even if the design did not leak, why are we going to continue to use a, presumably easier to counterfeit $20 for another decade, but will redesign the less counterfeited bills to prevent counterfeits?
Also, if the design leaked, why release the $5 and $10 dollar bills that have the leaked features? Also, how will treasury prevent future leaks, they need to answer that question also.
