A caller to Savage suggested a new $40 bill with Reagan's portrait.
No one here has talked about this. I kind of like the idea: $40 for the 40th President.
That way we don't have to retire any current bills.
I like that idea.
If we're going to go for a new denomination, I think a $25 bill might be more practical.
How about a $3 note to honor our most recent past president? It would certainly be fitting.
All bills need to count to $100 or else tilling becomes a pain in the a$$.
Too late Clintoon is already scheduled for the SEX Dollar bill.
Now, now.
Let's all reflect the new tone.
Besides, everyone knows that Barney Frank is the only one worthy of the $3 bill.
That was the reason for my support of a $25 bill in another thread. We used to have twenty cent coins, that lived side by side with the quarter.

You're one o' dem metric guys, ain't ya? I ain't switching, I ain't switching. By Gum my wrenches come in /16ths and /32nds and my money should too. Errr. . .
Nevermind.
I've never been a teller, but 5*$40.00 = $200.00.
Failing that, who do we get rid of to get Reagan on a piece of currency?
I DON'T want him on the dime, or the dollar coin. For MY money, it's gotta be the $20, the $50 - or the $40.
No way.
I don't want to give the government another excuse to inflate our currency.
Don't get me started.
I think we should be on a silver/gold standard.
how about $200 bill? As costs go up, would be used more and more.
Ohhhh Kaaaayyy.
I wish we had $500 bills. I hate going on a long trip and have a large stack of $100.
Besides they will want to redesign the 20 in a couple of years any way. Let them start early and put Reagan on it.
Debit/Credit Card? Keep in mind, I have 0 credit card debt. I was on a 4000 mile driving trip last October and when I left I had about 4 dollars on me.
Maybe that's it! The Reagan Visa Card!!!
How about putting the Gipper on a $5 coin?
Then we can get rid of pennies and the dollar bill.
