Eleven years isn’t that long. I’d like to see designs stick around for 20 to 50 years. Redesigning and reprinting money is expensive, and it loses its familiarity and icon status every time it’s redesigned. You also open up confusion where it’s easier to pass counterfeits to tourists, etc. who are unfamiliar with which designs are accurate.
Nobody is about to redesign it again. I think having exactly TWO designs ever is completely fair and you cannot speak of any unnecessarily frequent changes here. The redesign that did happen was crucial for security (a lot of new anti-forgery features added, included ones that are meant to be easy to check for tourists or otherwise) and accessibility.
What I meant is that if they don’t feel the need tp redo it again after the same amount of time, it must mean there was a good reason to do it before, and they probably addressed all the problems they wanted (mainly about security). Also I don’t feel like the iconic look changed that much. The format is the same, the color is the same, and the buldings are similar
