Others have mentioned this elsewhere, but if he does go on the $20, we need to start a grassroots campaign to nickname it the "Ronnie."

Just to piss liberals off, of course.

I say the $20. Is that Andy Jackson or Peter Gammons from ESPN's Baseball Tonight on the twenty? Let's end the confusion and start printing Ronnies.

Go for the $20 and not the dime.

Reagan = capitalist champion. The $20 is the standard unit of American currency, being the fuel of ATM's and the most circulated bill. It is fitting that Reagan, whose tax cuts allow us to have more twenties, be on them.

FDR = socialist failure. Sure, FDR was a great President in many ways: leading us to eventual victory in WWII, for example. But economically, he was a miserable failure. His picture on the dime is perfect, as it reminds us of "brother, can you spare a dime?" That's the liberal mantra: please give me money for doing nothing.

Reagan $20, FDR dime, that is perfection.

I say the $20 also. But Hamilton on the $10 has always bothered me. He was a sneaky backstabber and shouldn't have been surprised that someone wanted him dead. They should at least put John Adams on the $10 since he was a decent and honorable man (whom Hamilton slandered).

But if Reagan were on the $20, God would get praised and thanked every time someone went to an ATM (since we Republicans have all the money anyway) and that would be a good thing.

I'd actually like to see his profile on a new dollar coin just because it is a Naval tradition that when a newly commissioned ensign/2LT gets their first salute, they give the enlisted person a silver dollar.

Hey now, Hamilton was the 1st Secretary of the Treasury, and I'm sure he deserves his spot on the $10. FDR is perfect for the dime, because poor people are always saying "brother, can you spare a dime?" so handouts should stick with FDR.

What we should do is create a new bill (maybe the $15 or $25) and put Reagan on it.

I agree with Daschle's idea on how we should honor Reagan: With a huge new government program and the commoditization of human embryos. The Gipper would have wanted it that way.

Definitely not the $10 bill. Hamilton was too important of a founding father to replace him.

Reagan should go on a coin or bill where a president is already on both. Lincoln or washington come to mind. Or maybe the $20, because I doubt many even know what Jackson is all about. Or maybe we can replace Sacagewa on the dollar coin. That way people can take the new Ronnie dollar to the bank and exchange them for a real dollar.

All the bills could have a picture of Ronnie on one side, and a picture of a liberal strapped to a nuclear missle headed for the moon on the other.

Kevin,
heh heh, Simpsons...

I say we just quit calling the dollar a "dollar" and call it a Reagan.

"The Reagan is up .2 against the Yen..."

Doesn't really matter whose picture is on the $20, if it is $20 Reagans.

Then those liberals would all jump off buildings, because whether they had jobs or got handouts they would always be paid in Reagans!

That greedy bastard George Washington is on both the dollar bill and the quarter. I say we make him give one up!

How 'bout a $40 bill?

Oh come on...how come everybody's slagging on Hamilton? He's the one who made the famous curmudgeonly, misanthropic quote "The masses are asses." And then he also served as the inspiration for perhaps the greatest commercial of all time ("Aawon Buwh").

Hey Gunners...Don't forget..there's always the opportunity to use new 'U.S. backed Iraqi curreny'...maybe we should put ole Reagan on the Dinar.

Maybe a duel Bush/ Reagan Dinar...with Liberals strapped to the Weapons of Mass Distruction on the other side...oh wait...there were none...maybe we should just have Asscroft and friends on the other side...fisting your rights.

Put Reagan's face on the dime, put FDRs face on foodstamps.

And don't forget the benefits to American Slang...

I hate calling a twenty a "double sawbuck". Put ol' Ronnie on the twenty and call it "the Gipper".

I read at least one SF story set in a runaway inflation future where the commonest currency was "the old Reagans" at $1,000,000 per...

Being phased out in favor of the more easily-carryable "Carters" - $100 mil each.

Why not have a $5 coin? It could be one of those gold colored coins. This way whenever a liberal whined about how we don't care about the the world, we could flip them a "ronnie" and say, shut up. Go buy yourself a happy meal.

I don't think Hamilton should go anywhere. After all, he was one of the first great enemies of the Democratic-Republicans, who are the ancestors of the modern Democrats. He was also the first and a brilliant Secretary of the Treasury. But more importantly, he wrote most of the Federalist Papers and was one of the chief proponents of the Constitution. He should stay right where he is.

I think that Ronald Reagan was a great president, but let's not go nuts replacing a Founding Father's visage with his. I doubt President Reagan would have wanted that anyway.

That split-dime thing sounds OK. Or maybe the $20 idea, since, after all, Andrew Jackson sought to take down the Second Bank of the United States. In that light, it's a little weird he's on any currency.

I'm surprised that this site isn't all after putting Ronald Reagn on the $20, given that Andrew Jackson was also the first president of the US to belong to the Democrats.

Personally, I don't think that anything should be named after anyone until the honoree has been dead for at least thirty years.

lets bring back the 100 dollar bill because it's the most worth of all bills and it kicks the butt of all the others like reagan he wasby far the best of all conservative presidents and plus bush can be on a 50 when he leaves us because he would still kick butt but no one's reagan!
matt

Ok, first I thought we should just make a new bill (I was thinking maybe a $15, someone else suggested a $40, either way.) Then I started entertaining the idea of putting Reagan's visage on something more, shall we say, spiteful. One side of the bill (I am convinced the $10 is the one for him) his face, not staring off to the side, but looking straight at you, almost in an "Uncle Same Wants You" kinda way, but with a Reagen-esque smile. On the other, a rendition of the NYC skyline with Lady Liberty included. The nod there goes to 1. Freedom 2. Capitalism and 3. a subliminal nod perhaps to the WTC?
I was aiming for something that would speak to the success of the both the economy and the cause of freedom that we were the somewhat naive recipients during his administration. AKA maybe we didn't know how good we had it (or maybe how bad it was about to become just 4 years later.)

Here's a way to sneak Reagan currency through the Democrats: Republican in Congress tell people that it will be a one year comemorative thing, then when Democrats keep on losing elections, "forget" to change it back.

I'm personally inclined towards the Mt. Rushmore idea. Yet I don't think reagan would've approved of a multi-million "pork project" of the sort.

Reagan should be on the 20, if they put him up on a bill. 20s are all what the banks around here are handing out now at ATMs, so there would be Reagans everywhere! Besides, Jackson's legacy?? Oohh, he won a battle after a war was over, rounded up all those Indians and sent them to Oklahoma. Great legacy there....

Hey Entrepreneur, they still print $100 bills. It's the most used currency in black markets across the world.

Since the Donks probably don't want to replace the Native American female on the dollar coin (two, two, two voting blocks in one!), we could just put Ronnie's face on her little papoose.

Maybe they should bring back the $500, then. I work at a bank, and I have customers asking for them amazingly often.

I say "amazingly" since they stopped printing them 70 years ago.

i thought they stopped printing the 100 maybe some till circle around, and i had no idea there was a 500...but reagan deserves the best i tell ya

The $100 is alive and well and will be getting another facelift like the $20.

Put him on the silver dollar and kick Kennedy the hell off of it.

Kennedy is on the 50 cent piece.

Here are the actual bills in production:

$1 Washington
$2 Jefferson
$5 Lincoln
$10 Hamilton
$20 Jackson
$50 Grant
$100 Franklin

There are also larger bills still in circulation, but no longer printed:

$500 McKinley
$1000 Cleveland
$5000 Madison
$10000 Chase
$100000 Wilson

These are all still legal tender, but the Treasury is gradually destroying them and replacing them with smaller bills.

Now, the big question is, why the heck is Salmon P. Chase on the $10000 bill?

I say put Master Reagan on the dollar coin. This would achieve two things:

1. People would actually WANT to use the coin.
2. Who the hell is Sacajajkgeaweqawkakwea? No one cares about her.

First of all, to those saying it's too soon, both FDR and Kennedy were put on the coins within a year of their deaths.

Second, you would have to put Reagan on at least the $20 bill. If you put him on anything less the hippies would be likely to light it on fire during protests. If he's on the twenty, fifty, or hundred they wouldn't be able to afford one to burn even if they all pitched in.

Someone stole my thunder, so I'll second (or third) the sentiment. Replace the Sacajawea and SBA dollars with a new Reagan Dollar coin.

I definitely think it'll get a lot more circulation than those previous flops.

One word: RUSHMORE

I like the dime-splitting myself -we would have the people who played the largest part in winning the two greatest wars in history on the same coin, AND it strikes a very nice political balance.

Put him on any big bill. Reagan's victory will never be complete until the phrase "Change for a Gipper?" is said on the streets of Havana.

And Hamilton was a dirty Big Government Federalist...grrr...
