What a joke! Regan was only helpful to the rich.
He is the reason most small towns across the midwest are dead. He is the reason why our money is worth less.
Why would we want to honor him? We should make Regan toilet paper, not Regan money.

I, too, would like to see no Presidents on our currency. But, if we are going to keep doing it, then Reagan should get serious consideration. And to Paul: Get real.

paul, I don't know what you are talking about but in my opinion Regan was one of the last greats we ever had running this country. We sure haven't had anyone with the morals or the brains to do the job since. I am not going to get in any political debates as I said this is just my opinion but each president of the United States should have our respect and the toilet paper comment is pretty disrespectful if you ask me. Even the President we have now should have our respect even though I do not feel to safe in any way (economic or personal) with him in the seat he holds but the majority of the voters put him there and we are stuck with him and you will never see me disrespect him in the way you have done above

Whichever way it goes, it's time for a change. I too would love to see a return to the designs of yesterday. Save the dead presidents for commems. As soon as I hear that the change is imminent, I'm getting a bunch and looking for uncircs.

I'd rather see polk or mckinley on our currency. Perhaps taking lincoln off the five and washington off of the quarter since they already have two currencies each lol.
I also think they should start circulating the 500's again. It's pretty annoying as a bank teller when you have to count out 10,000 in hundreds, and it would allow us to reclaim some of our clout as a reserve currency in competition to the 500 euro note.

Dead leaders for commemoratives only.
With respect to the U.S. I believe that idolatry on U.S. tender is pretentious, pompous, and even dangerous for a democratic republic; Government is supposed to be "of the people, by the people, for the people" -- not a medium to subjectively deify politicians.
Reagan is proffered, yet could we actually imagine a "Carter Quarter", a "Hoover Half", or a "Nixon Nickel?" No - as it should be, and neither should it be for historically-subjective "rock stars" like Reagan, Roosevelt, et al.
I'm all for the return of symbolism for regular issues.

Xavier 500 Euro Notes are great. I carried two around during my trip in Spain and it was so much more convenient. There are two problems with the Euros though: they are all different sizes and are a pain to find a large enough wallet and losing a 500 Euro is a lot bigger than a $100 bill.

I'm all for the return of symbolism for regular issues. I agree with this statement. There are too many dead men on American money already. Now we have the Presidential dollars so each president will get his name and face on a coin. However, I vastly prefer the Native American dollars over the Presidential dollars. They're nicer in appearance, IMOHO. It would be great to have coins and paper money with Miss Liberty and symbolism instead of your favorite president gracing the front. They've been talking about putting Reagan's face on coins, on Mount Rushmore and now on the $50 bill. They've named office buildings, expressways, airports, etc after him. Knowing what he was like during his presidency, I don't think he would approve of all of this fuss. Indian head pennies, Mercury dimes, Buffalo nickels, Walking Liberty quarters..... we had them all now but with the exception of one coin it's all dead presidents. Does anyone use the $50 bill anymore anyway? |

I would also like to see prominent Americans on bills or coinage. Civil War Colonel Joshua Chamberlain would be nice or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I know they are dead but it would be nice to see a change like that too :-)
