I'd like to kick our dead presidents off our coins. First, I'd go with a 19th Century oldies-but-goodies design for the coins as a stopgap, then replace them with new designs with Liberty on the obverse.

I agree about getting rid of the dead presidents on coins. We can (and did) a lot better. The presidents on coins is too like having royalty on coins. We’re not that kind of country (or at least we didn’t used to be).

Presidents on currency have been around a lot longer, but there too, there were some glorious bills produced that didn’t feature politicians. The “Educational Series” shows what the Bureau of Printing & Engraving was capable of back in the day.
