This is simple absurdity to anyone of economic knowledge. New design does not mean new currency. Are there two quarter systems? Old quarters circulate overseas and 50 state quarters circulate only in America? Of course not. The sky is not falling, not on America, not on Israel, not on anybody.

New design does not mean new currency.

Clearly it is new currency distinguishable from the old, and if they can't be exchanged as has been contended:

foreigners will continue to be allowed to use the greenback while U.S. citizens will be stuck with the "crayola currency" which cannot be exchanged.

It seems a further restriction on our ability to take our cash where we wish and spend it as we wish.

Presumably there would be some mechanism to take cash on a foreign trip, but the article seems to imply a lot of reporting might accompanying such an exchange (at customs?). It is not to hard to understand how this can be used to 'track' bringing cash resulting from foreign bullion sales onshore.

The point of the post was to vet this article. Might you have any information to support your viewpoint?

Are there two quarter systems?

Yep, 1964 and earlier coins ..... and the crap minted since.

[Fledermaus]

100% correct, this article is total BS.

Consider the source ("gold-eagle"). Look at their website. They will say anything for people to buy their gold coins.

BINGO:

This is simple absurdity to anyone of economic knowledge. New design does not mean new currency. Are there two quarter systems? Old quarters circulate overseas and 50 state quarters circulate only in America? Of course not. The sky is not falling, not on America, not on Israel, not on anybody.
