The US needs some updating as well - see the kerfuffle about trying to get Harriet Tubman on the $20, which Trump nixed, because racism. He wanted to put her on a reissued $2 bill, but I'm not sure there's an appetite for that. Symbolism matters in this case, and Trump is clueless.

I still like this concept from a while back:

Replacing GW with Obama might be a bit contentious, but the rest of it seems solid.

Wow, that redesign is really impressive! I hope something like it gets adopted eventually.

That’s incredibly bold and ambitious. I kind of love it. It breaks a universal tradition that I didn’t consider before.
