I think it's probably well intended. Notice that under George Washington it has "First President" and the dates. Presumably they will have similar short descriptives for the other presidents, as they are added to the series.
So they wanted to make more room for these short descriptions. Since children are no longer taught anything about the presidents, this could actually be useful.
WJC - "put some ice on that"
JEC - "Wear a sweater"
LBJ - "good buddies with Billie Sol Estes and Bobby Baker"
And these dollars may actually get used a lot, as our money continues to be devalued. Soon, dollars will be used for what quarters could previously buy, just like quarters are now used for what dimes or even pennies could once buy.
