This article does not make sense. Sitting here in Panama, we use U.S. paper currency. (Panama has none of its own. There is a special treaty between the U.S. and Panama about this that was passed early in the 1900s.) Bills wear out. The old ones are flown back to the U.S. for destruction and new ones are flown in which means the old ones will be replaced by the multicolored ones. Therefore, all $20 will eventually be replaced by the new ones all around the world. Maybe someone can explain it to me.

See my post #14 re maintaining and circulating two sets of currencies, and agitator's post#8.

Maybe someone can explain it to me.

I'm looking to figure out what's true and isn't myself.
