Leave it to Mrs. Reagan to add elegance and class to any issue surrounding her husband. She should replace Sacagawea on the dollar coin. I guarantee its circulation would go up dramatically if that was done.

Mrs. Reagan has a point. I have a counterpoint. Let's have a new denomination, a forty-dollar bill for our 40th president, or a forty-cent coin (less readily defaced by liberals).

I strongly agree. If we could just take one of the pieces of currency that has a president's face on it that is also on another one, I think it is OK. Doesn't Ben Franklin have his face on a piece of currency? He wasn't a president. Take his face and replace it with Ronald Reagan's. Don't get me wrong I do agree with all of those who think Ben did a fine job, he did find us electricity, didn't he?

Of all the people represented on our currency, Sacagawea clearly has the shakiest credentials, but "political correctness" will dictate that she stays around. Anyway, the only time you see her is when you get change from stamp machines, and with snail mail becoming obsolete, she's likely to become even more obscure. (Although we should keep trying on the dollar coin, like the UK's one-pound coin. They last hundreds of times longer than paper money, and are therefore less expensive to produce.)
Second in the "questionable creds" race goes to Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill. He might be a logical face to retire in favor of Reagan.
But I still think the best idea is to go after one of the presidents who has double representation on our currency.
