Take Jackson off the $20 and put Reagan on instead. Jackson opposed the very idea of the Federal Reserve and would not have wanted his image used.

To be more precise, Jackson was virulently opposed to the Bank of the United States, which was the conceptual predecessor of the Federal Reserve Bank. His success in destroying the Bank ushered in decades of fiscal chaos which substantially hindered American economic development in the nineteenth century. So, yes, it is extremely ironic that he now has a place on our largest frequently-used bill.

Agree. $20 would be a better place for the Gipper's mug.
