Yes Nora, small potato counterfeiters would do this - but that's inconsequential to the amount of circulating dollar bills.
the idea is to give big time counterfeiters trouble. They just can't "move" lots and lots of old bills without raising suspicion, hence the continuous re-design of money.
It's quite difficult to choose one Hindu temple in India over another - there are just so many of them. Furthermore, a lot of them share similar names (so one search for "Sri Venkateswara Temple" brings up many temples around the world, not just the main Tirumala one.
Incidentally, I chose Srirangam over Tirumala because it's far more colorful.
Indians are so touchy when it comes to their temples ;)

I like this one that came from left field by Ben #19. Completely unexpected, but made me snort my milk! "Gumby was an ugly baby ..."
Congratulations Ben!
