Should we update our paper money?

Question

I say put Reagan on the quarter (Washington already has the one), and put Martin Luther King Jr. on the ten (back off, Hamilton! You stunk!).

Any other suggestions?

Answer 1

If we're ever going to change it, I'm in favor of doing what many other countries do and move away from political figures and start to use notable important people from other walks of life. Steinbeck, Edison, people like that.

Answer 2

Reagan? For what? Record trade deficits? Taking credit for the end of the Cold War when he had little to do with it? I'm cool with MLK, perhaps, but Reagan? Best put MLK on the quarter and leave Hamilton on the ten. You think he stunk? I guess you didn't pay much attention in history class. All he did was lead our country as the first secretary of the treasury, invented the National Bank, co-wrote the Federalist papers, and almost single-handedly got America off to a good economic start. Yeah. He sucked.

Answer 3

Well if your going to include MLK just for the sake of his civil rights movement, than I want an influential hispanic, chinese, italian, and Irishmen on some of the currency.

Answer 4

I haven't liked the last round of updated currency. Looks like cheesy Monopoly money.

Answer 5

Congress already wastes enough time on non-binding resolutions. Don't give them more ideas on how to kill time.

Answer 6

Leave the money alone. Don't try to fix something that isn't broken.

Answer 7

How about money with a mexican on it? I would be all for that idea!
