The New CATALYST Currency for the U.S.

An explanation of how paper U.S. dollars become digital dollars beginning in 2026.

A new $10 bill in 2026 will feature intaglio security measures and the capability to scan digital codes, enabling the exchange of paper money for digital currency.

‘So that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark’ - Revelation 13:17.

‘I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.’ - Thomas Jefferson.

I learn about life, culture, and the future by asking others questions, listening to their answers, and then reading the Bible and scholarly journals, and then reflecting.

This past month, I was in Durango, Colorado, with my family. In a local restaurant in Purgatory, I met two U.S. Treasury officials and struck up a conversation with them.

They confirmed for me some things about the future that I already knew were coming.

Because of my background in economics and finance, my knowledge of history, and my love for Scripture, I try to help people understand what is happening in our culture from a world-view based on the principles of the Bible.

Modern governments rely on fiat money created by those who need it to maintain their power. Thus, when governments are in trouble, they change the money system to confuse the people.

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ‘What is politics?’

The dad tries to explain: ‘Well, son, consider this house. The government is like your mother, because she's in charge of everything. The people are like me, because I work hard and provide for everyone. And the future is like your little brother, always crying and needing something.’

Later that night, the little boy wakes up to his baby brother crying. He goes to his mother's room, but she's asleep. He goes to his father's room, but he's also asleep. So the little boy sighs and changes his brother's diaper himself.

The next morning, the boy tells his dad, ‘I think I understand politics now.’

‘The government and the people are both asleep, the working class is nowhere to be found, and the future requires someone, somewhere, to clean up the mess!’

The mess we have as a country is our astronomical government debt.

The Change Coming to U.S. Money

The United States Treasury, Washington, D.C.

The Department of the Treasury will issue the first denomination of redesigned Federal Reserve notes, a $10 bill, which will be produced and distributed in 2026.

All denominations in the new series will differ in at least one crucial way from all their predecessors in that they will have Raised Tactile Features (RTF) applied on each new design by an intaglio printing process.
