I too wonder why we continue to reinvent the dollar. You and I deal with cash replacements on a daily basis and digital security seems like the most logical concern. I cannot help but think the reason for newly minted money lies within the article's discussion of $100 bills and their dominance on the world stage. Could it really be that U.S. currency is no longer printed for the people of the U.S.?

Likely. I can't tell you the last time I carried a significant amount of cash on me. It's literally only when traveling. In life, why would I use cash when I can use a charge card that gives me either cash-back or redeemable points? Obviously, I'm a bit biased, but it really doesn't make sense.
