Why hasn’t the US one dollar bill been updated like the other currency denominations?

All the other denominations over $1 have gone “Bigfaced” and been colored other than green. Why not the one-dollar bill?

The other denominations used to be older than the $1, and were all updated to add some security measures, and they updated the designs while they were at it. The $1, as it is, already has some security features, which the mint seems to be good enough considering how little it’s worth. If it doesn’t need to be changed, they aren’t going to change the design just for aesthetic reasons.

The $1 also isn’t really worth updating anymore because of inflation, so someday they are just going to stop printing them and switch to dollar coins, although there is a lack of political will to do that.
