Change the faces on the currency?

[greekguy]

i saw in the NSA thread some people talking about how some pretty bad people have ended up with their face on U.S. currency. so, i thought i'd start a thread where we could decide who gets there face on which coin/bill. that way, the people who deserve the honor get it, and goons and morons stay off our money!

for reference here's who's on U.S. currency right now:

penny: Abraham Lincoln
nickel: Thomas Jefferson
dime: FDR
quarter: George Washington
50 cent coin: JFK
$1 dollar coin: Sacegewea
dollar bill: Washington
2 dollar bill: Jefferson
5 dollar bill: Lincoln
10 dollar bill: Alexander Hamilton
20 dollar bill: Andrew Jackson
50 dollar bill: Ulysses S. Grant
100 dollar bill: Benjamin Franklin

if i left out any money, please tell me and i'll add to the list.

plus, based on what people say in the thread, i'll revise the above list to match what us CFCers think who should be on the money.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

I find it deeply offensive that only white males, and no men and women of color are on our currency

 

[Follow Gandhi]

Gandhi should be on our currency.

 

[North King]

The only current objectionable one is Andrew Jackson. All the rest aren't particularly bad or good.

 

[Leatherneck]

HELLO .... Sacagawea $1 coin

 

[.Shane.]

The only current objectionable one is Andrew Jackson.

Yeah, and I guess, it doesn't bother me much, because I think it makes AJ roll over in his grave.

Given Grants record as president, I suppose, I'd reconsider him.

 

[GenMarshall]

We hardly use the $.50 piece.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

HELLO .... Sacagawea $1 coin

Nah, thats not real money. Who uses $1 coins?

I do and I use $2 bills that you can still easily at the bank just to mess with people. since they rarely see them.

Well, only the $2 bill is in active circulation

Mass transit systems. That's how I've gotten all of mine. I believe that they stopped minting Sacagawea coins this year, however.

Also, yay for my ancestor on the $10,000 bill. Whatever you do, don't ditch him. (I don't care that the $10,000 bill isn't printed any more.)

2 dollar bill: The Last Conformist
5 dollar bill: CurtSibling
10 dollar bill: Stratego
20 dollar bill: Birdjaguar
50 dollar bill: Fifty
100 dollar bill: Perfection

You could still walk in to a store and use a $100,000 dollar bill (you'd be a fool to do so). The last $2 bill was printed in 2003.

No you couldn't. It's a federal crime to own a $100,000 bill

Yeah, but they're still in active circulation. You can go to any bank and get some. They don't print more because banks don't want more. If banks started wanting more they'ed probobly print more.

How come????????

 

[.Shane.]

Nah, thats not real money. Who uses $1 coins?

They're perfect for vending machines.

 

[Perfection]

How come????????

They were never issued to the public they were only used for intergovernmental trasactions.

They're perfect for vending machines.

Except that no vending machines ever accept them

Then you have crappy entreprenuers where you live.

The last 3 jobs I've worked the vendors all used them in the change machines. It actually is a very good use for them.
