You should just rotate the people on your currency more often than 'never'. There are lots of great Americans in the pantheon, more than six deserve - Roger More Apr 13, 15:25 12
- why don't you go back to Russia!....nm - x Apr 13, 16:33
- Canada should find someone more significant than Borden for the 100. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 16:12 3
  - John Candy? -- nm - mud Apr 13, 16:26 2
    - leslie nielsen!...nm - x Apr 13, 16:34 1
      - That bill would randomly make farting noises. -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 16:36
- Howard Cosell! -- nm - prayformojo Apr 13, 15:32
- US currency is the most counterfeited in the world, mostly because we don't change it often. - nic to be determined Apr 13, 15:29 4
  - They don't make changes because a very loud group of Americans is always eager to scream about change -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 15:31 3
    - And how much it costs. Of course the counterfeiting costs a lot too. -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 13, 15:34 2
      - I think the cost of switching designs is mostly minor. They're always creating new plates, tooling for a new design isn't going to add all that - TWuG Apr 13, 15:49 1
        
        That's the excuse they keep using, not saying it's true, just the excuse they always bring up. -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 13, 17:19
- It's all about the Tubmans. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:28
Good because Hamilton deserves to keep his spot and a woman should be on the $20. Jackson doesn't deserve to be on currency. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:20 6
- In 2030 -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 13, 15:26
- Though I would be okay with moving Hamilton to the $20 and putting a woman on the $10. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:24 4
  - get rid of them both. John Adams deserves a bill before either of them fools -- nm - the brain Apr 13, 15:26 3
    - Hamilton deserves to stay on currency considering what he did. Adams can have a coin someday. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:29 2
      - "Why did everyone hate Alexander Hamilton?" -- (link) - the brain Apr 13, 15:31 1
        
        Doesn't matter. He earned his spot. Adams can go get a donut in Boston named after him but he's not booting Hamilton off anything. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:35
F*ck that sh*t. Hamilton DESERVES recognition. Get rid of that asshole, Jackson, on the $20. -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 15:18 1
- Yeah! -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:21
also: timestamp it -- (link) - ty97 Apr 13, 15:18 [Backboard]
Eh whatev - they should feel free to take famed and noted Native American killer Andrew Jackson off the 20. Put a lady on that bill. -- nm - Divaerys Targaryen-Breaker of Chains Apr 13, 15:16 3
- Yeah! -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:21
- we put Susan B. Anthony on the dollar coin. nobody used them -- nm - the brain Apr 13, 15:18 1
  - Why would they when the paper dollar was still available. Nix the paper dollar and coin use will go up. -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 15:20
Put a woman on the $20. Done. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 15:14 16
- How about a wholesale reshuffle? Drop Jackson, Grant, and Franklin. Move Washington to the $5, a woman of note on the $10, Lincoln to the $20, - TWuG Apr 13, 15:24 14
  - What's your beef with Franklin and the dollar still has buying power. You can drop they penny and nickel but not the dollar. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:33 11
    - No beef with Franklin, other than I wouldn't miss him on currency. The $1 note needs to go. The $1 coin lasts a LOT longer. -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 15:38 10
      - Honestly, I wouldn't miss anyone currently residing on our notes and coinage. Let's start celebrating - TWuG Apr 13, 15:43 3
        
        I'd be okay with putting non-political figures but they'd have to be American and no sports figures. - Krusty Apr 13, 15:55 2
        
        Einstein was an American citizen. - TWuG Apr 13, 16:02 1
        
        Riiiiight... celebrating science on American currency. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 13, 16:07
      - Americans hate them and I can't say I'm a fan. Coins are annoying to carry and are heavier than paper currency. The savings from switching - Krusty Apr 13, 15:40 4
        
        Somehow Canadians have sorted all that out. If we *need* a note under $5, there's the $2. But even that should be a coin. - TWuG Apr 13, 15:45 3
        
        They're also into poutine and ice shuffleboard those weirdos. - Krusty Apr 13, 15:47
        
        gotta have quarters. laundry, yo -- nm - the brain Apr 13, 15:47 1
        
        That's what the coin changer is for. -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 15:50
      - twonie! twonie! twonie! -- nm - b. Apr 13, 15:39
  - But then the "$10 founding father" lyric would make no sense! -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 15:27 1
    - Nor would "All About the Benjamins" but who gives a fuck. -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 15:28
- Yeah! -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:21
