Change the faces on the currency?

[greekguy]

ok, i added a few more monetary values to the first post to make the list more accurate. i also crossed off Jackson, since most of you want him off the $10. so, who should replace him? also, a bunch of you said Grant should be off the $50 (i agree with you, he was a great general, lousy president), but not quite a majority. if a few more people say Grant should go, i'll cross him off.

Ike Turner on a coin, thats classic PrinceOfLeigh.

If Congress ever does vote to get rid of the Penny, there might be some shuffling to get Lincoln on another coin. Although he is on the five as well.

I wouldnt mind seeing Jackson get the boot, but like Shane said above, I love the irony of Jackson on a Federal banknote that is not backed by a gold standard.

Clinton should be put on the $1. If only to allow you to shove Clinton's face in a strippers g-string. Almost as ironic as Jackson.

Grant off, MLK on.

I support the removal of Grant for either MLK, or Samuel L Jackson.

If Reagan gets put on money, we should have to use red ink.

Turner?

Good ole' Dwight Eisenhower.

Can't you put some of Godwynns girls on your money? It'd encourage people to save.

Just put my face on it instead. It will surely stimulate the economy since no one will want to look at me.

If Reagan needs to be put on something, put him on a new coin with a value of $0.001, because []THAT'S ALL THAT "TRICKLED DOWN" TO THE LOWER CLASSES UNDER REAGAN'S ECONOMIC POLICIES!!!!!!![/]

REAGANOMICS is an anagram of A CON GAME SIR

ok, so i crossed Grant's name off of the $50. now we need to figure out who should replace him and Jackson. MLK was thrown out there, anymore support for him? also, anyone think Lincoln and Washington should only be on a coin or a bill, as opposed to being on both?

I'm surprised no one mentioned Teddy Roosevelt yet. McKinley is another good choice, IMO. I think that Teddy should be on the 20, and Eisenhower on the 50.

I've got no problem with MLK but he's already a street or school named after him in every town in America ... my podunk town has a MLK Blvd. and not a single street named after a President.

If we do not have a faithful picture of Hubbard on our 1,000,000,000 currency note I will go berzerk! Let Scientology be part of the American life!

Zombie Reagan for the Pi dollar bill.

Zombie Reagan for the Pi dollar bill.

Shouldn't PI be on the $3.14159265 dollar bill?

 

[Riesstiu IV]

Probably but that would be boring. We would be the only nation to have a zombie on its currency.

I say we remove the faces all together, and focus on pictures that represent events, this way we can't have any of the silly "I don't think this person should be on the bill because they were so incredibly stupid." crap that happens from time to time. Let's say for example:

$1 - Signing of the Decleration
$5 - American Revolution
$10 - Manifest Destiny
$20 - Mexican–American War
$50 - WW1
$100 - WW2

I wouldn't know what you'd do with the coins though; There isn't much room to add a picture. Maybe add a symbol of events, like a ship for the Revolution, a cannon for something else and so on.

Native Americans would love the choice for the $10.

Let's get some new pictures on the currency, and eliminate the debt at the same time by opening the chance for corporations to buy the right to a currency and have their logo printed on it for a certain number of years. *Waits patiently for onslaught of angry anti-corporate responses*

 

[Leatherneck]

I think we should put Playboy Bunnies in full buff on our money and that would keep Hezbollah from handing it out and using it ... put warning on it to that it has been dipped in a mix of beer and pigs blood on the back.

They'll just use a different currency. So will I.

As galling as it sounds, that's not really a bad idea. Can you imagine actually having legitimate Monopoly money?
