Durable coins that won't wear out for small purchases (back when things actually cost pennies), and paper bills for large purchases with the anti-counterfeiting measure of being able to have large, intricate designs.
I'm not sure how important it is for small denominations to be durable, since a pocketful of loose change is practically disposable for a lot of people. As for anti-counterfeiting measures, I think coins have a lot of potential.
