Reagan on the $50?

It doesn't buy what it used to, but will this swap-out be granted?

Remember when Grover Norquist was on that tear to have one thing in every state named for former President Reagan? So adorable. We thought he mostly gave up but in truth, we quit paying attention when the plan to add Reagan to Mount Rushmore fell through.

It's an election year, though, so any and all ways for Republicans to ostentatiously honor the nation's 40th president must now present themselves and be heard. Rep. Patrick McHenry, a Republican from North Carolina, wants to boot Ulysses S. Grant from the $50 and give that space to Reagan.

I'll have to veto this, because Grant was also Republican and a war hero.

Put RR on currency that has a Rat on it; the time to whitewash the Rats out of existence is far overdue.

I veto it too. Create a new $100 coin and put him on that!

[pissant]

....as well as on Mount Rushmore

[grumpygresh]

We need a $500 bill. Wait till inflation hits. Put our greatest 20th century president on the top denomination bill.

It does look nice! But does AJ get the boot? ehh...

Put RR on currency that has a Rat on it;

How about the $20? Andrew Jackson, well known for his fights against national banking, must be rolling in his grave about being on one of the most widely distributed Federal Reserve notes.

YES!!! Bye Bye Teddy!!!

$1-Washington, Federalist
$5-Lincoln, Republican
$10-Hamilton, Federalist - Shot to death by Rat Burr in a duel
$20-Jackson, Rat
$50-Grant, Republican
$100-Franklin, No Party - before formation of parties

Limited choice.

Clinton already got the three dollar bill.

[pissant]

There’s a $100 coin already with Teddy

(hey, I made a rhyme)

[GOPsterinMA]

RR on the $10. Farewell Mr. Hamilton

I like it!

-OR-

RR on the $100, Ben Franklin back on the half dollar. Bye Bye Kennedy.

I love it!!!

[GOPsterinMA]

He replaced Nixon? /S

:)

FYI

[Willie Green]

Limited choice.

You forgot:

$2-Jefferson, Democratic-Republican

[GOPsterinMA]

Also looks really nice!!!

I don’t want any of the money messed with every time they do something like that it costs billions. Besides I sure don’t want an Obama bill someday so let’s not mess with changing them.

Would hate to see Grant go. But after Zero and the Dems get through, we’ll be using $50’s like $5’s.
