The alliteration in the title of this post is mostly for the joy of alliteration (which is abundant). I would say they're not so much more current as they are more attentive to the history of the US' wealth.
The existing bills are already historical, but as we know, it's problematic to point to a specific history of individuals and call it the history of a nation.
Also, the architecture and the language pictured on the existing bills connects our image as a country with Roman antiquity. This is certainly accurate in its comparison. It could be said, I suppose, that what these redesigned bills do is try to depict the implications of that connection.
