US currency has gone through lots of updates, primarily to thwart counterfeiting. Meanwhile, the $1 bill has been left behind, in part because of legislation that doesn’t allow changing it I believe?

Seems like this makes our currency look like a cluster. Differing designs and nothing standard across denominations.

What’s the likelihood of getting everything updated and consistent? Either redesign the dollar bill or eliminate it in favor of dollar coins. Maybe even ditch the nickel too, since like the penny, it costs more to make than it’s worth.
