If so, which one and why (think about who's already on the bill/coin).
My opinion--the quarter. Washington has the 1, he doesn't need two pieces of money. Besides, I doubt he would want one anyways.

Definitely! What an excellent idea. I can't recall your money, been a while since I last used it, so I can't offer much in the way of replacing someone, however your Washington idea sounds logical.

Why does Washington or anyone else have to be bumped in order to make room for someone, anyone, else? Why not just come up with a new bill or coin? Or bring back the $2 bill that we used to see only at the racetrack?
Your question seems to me to be aimed just as much as taking someone off as it is at putting someone on. I would say that honoring someone by putting him on a bill or coin is a worthy objective; and that dishonoring someone by taking him off a bill or coin is an unworthy objective.

Yeah, but Lincoln has the $5 bill and the penny, so if you want to put King on something, let's put him on the penny. For that matter, let's take Hamilton off the 10 and Grant off the 50 and replace them with someone else, King or for that matter, The King (Elvis). Only kidding! What Grant did to get on the 50 is beyond me. Maybe he could be replaced with FDR and then we could put MLK on the dime....that'd be cool.

Does Martin Luther King deserve to be remembered and revered? Absolutely. I don't know that he was a great leader of *America*, though. He was more a leader of a human rights movement. I say this not to disqualify him, but sadly to say that I don't see him on American currency any time soon.
Then again, we were wise enough to put Susan B. Anthony on a coin. Perhaps MLK's time has come.

Maybe in 2100 It's still a little early to compete with the Currency Crowd.

But of course. Why not? A quarter. a dollar. A ten. twenty. A fifty. A hundred. ten thousand. one million. I'd spend it just like any other money. Would not matter one bit.

Sure, he did as much as Sacajawea, or walking liberty or a buffalo.
