The only real motivation to change a bill is counterfeit bills. No one would ever counterfeit one dollar bills because it would cost them more to make them than they'd get back by exchanging it in circulation. A change of the 1 dollar template would cost too much money as well.

To stay ahead of counterfeiters, the U.S. government plans on introducing new currency designs every 7-10 years. The first note of the new currency designs, the $20 note, was issued October 9, 2003. The series will continue with the $50 note, which will be issued in late 2004, followed later by a new $100 note. Redesign of the $5 and $10 notes is under consideration, but there are no plans to redesign the $1 and $2 notes.

Ruffryder's answer was pretty right on. Another thing I have heard is that in Canada and Mexico they gotten rid of the one dollar bills over time and got people on the coin dollars. That is one thing they are thinking about doing here. Another thing they have in the works is a "plasticized" dollar. It's like half plastic and half paper. It is supposed to extend the life of paper money from the average of 18 months they have now to about 5 years. And they are also supposed to be impossible to forge. They are testing these new bills out in Romania and 2 or 3 other European countries to see how forgery rates go and to test the average lifespan of them.
