Comment on The problem with adding forgery prevention features to paper money is that people could just forge the old version of the bill.
Maybe the US is weird then? Seems like old money is always valid:

Yeah in the UK old currency is fazed out in less than a year. £1 coins changed in 2016 and it only took a few months till the old design was invalid
Wait, then how do you deal with that?
There’s an overlap where both are valid for a few months and you can trade them in at post offices and banks but after that period is up it’s just tough luck I guess
That’s stupid lol
