Visual Economics posted this infographic that shows the value of U.S. currency currently in circulation. The graphic also shows the life expectancy of each denomination of bills and it turns out that the $100 bill lasts about 7 years before being replaced.
Also, if you look at the bottom of the chart (not shown above), you’ll see how ridiculous the amount of pennies in circulation is.

I actually enjoy this set of redesigned Dollar denominations. I don’t think the United States Mint would ever go with a design this radical, but it’s nice to look at anyway. Although, I’m not exactly sure how I feel about having the bills be predominantly vertical rather than horizontal. I think that’s more of a radical change than simply putting more colors on the Dollar.
