Grant was a drunk, how about the $100?

Have you had many problems buying stuff with that "worthless" paper money? It's always worked pretty good for me.
I would go with Jackson being replaced but never Hamilton.
Hamilton was taken off a cannon line during the Revolutionary war because Washington recognized the man's astonishing brilliance.
We owe to Hamilton the concept that a if a law is unjust, courts have a moral obligation to rule against the law rather than the accused.
Not to mention that he's the primary author of the Federalist Papers.
Reagan was an important man to the world and nation but, we'd need to wait 200 years to see if his contributions outstripped Hamilton's.
Poll FReeped and bumped!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
very few people use a $10 bill. Put him on the $20
your right, sorry i don't see many of those I guess!
My only disagreement is that Reagan should be on the $20 bill, not the $10 bill. Alexander Hamilton, though he was never President, was a very significant figure in the nation's history. On the other hand, not two people in ten could accurately place Andrew Jackson in his historical context. (Wasn't he some kind of anscestor of Jesse Jackson, or something? Or was he the Confederate general?)

Woodruff: Stupid is as stupid does.
I am forced to watch CNN Woodruff's Inside Politics everyday at the gym where I work out--(for some idiotic reason management caters to the liberal personal trainer/staff rather than the members who would prefer Fox). Yesterday Judy interviewed Grover Norquist, from the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, sponsoring the RWR $10 bill.
I almost fell off the treadmill laughing when the elitist hackess Woodruff asked Norquist if the idea was fair to "President Hamilton."
STOP THE TAPE!
She is so entertainingly ignorant and vacuous.
This was even better than the positively orgasmic utterance of "Howard Dean" at every opportunity during his glory days.
Well if nature didn't decide to put him one the mountain, what are we goint to do about it? </cher>
Absolutely, Ronald Reagan deserves the tribute of being placed on the $10 bill (or even the $20 for that matter)
If the libs cry too much, we can offer to place Bubba C on the $3.00....
Can't say us right-wingers aren't the hopeless optomist. I'd love to see this also, but it will NEVER happen.
I would rather not displace a president from any bill. Putting Reagan on the $10 would displace a non-president.
