My personal opinion: trying to dump FDR for Reagan is foolish and would be overly divisive. I would alternatively suggest putting Reagan on a two dollar bill, which would then be issued into wide circulation. Given inflation, a $2 bill also makes good sense.

Or a half dollar a 90% silver one...

$2 is a loser. Get him on the 20. Dump Old Hickory. Know one cares for him anymore anyway. Especially the new french looking Jackson.

Put Ronnie on the twenty. the Ronnie Twenty as a good ring to it.

Barry Goldwater believed that there should be no public tribute to a man until he had been dead for 50 years and could be judged dispassionately by history. That meant to Barry: No statues, no dollar bills, no coins.

Had we observed that 50 year waiting period, it's possible but unlikely that FDR would have gotten on a coin in 1995. And I can absolutely guarantee you that Jack Kennedy would not get anything when his turn finally came in 2013.

Dump Andrew Jackson, and replace him on the $20 bill with Ronald Reagan. Old Hickory has had his run, and there aren't two people in ten who could accurately identify Jackson in his historical context.

Put him on the $100 so I can hear the rappers sing, "It's all about the Reagans".

Reform the currency at the same time.

Dump the penny (a dime is worth a minute of a minimum-wage laborer's time; smaller coins are a drag on retail transactions.)

Phase out the nickel and quarter.

Coin a new half-dollar, sized between dime and dollar coin, with Jefferson's image (needed, for reasons below.)

Dollar coin would become the third smallest coin denomination (instead of the sixth smallest.) Change to Washington's image from welfare mom.

Add a 5-dollar coin with REAGAN's image.

Drop the $1 and $2 bills.

Keep $5, 10, 20, 100, and add $500 bill comparable to 500 Euro note.

(A less radical version of this plan keeps nickels and quarters.)

The above system is equivalent in value to a pre-inflated ~1960 system of penny, nickel, dime, half dollar coin, half dollar bill, $1 bill, $2 bill, $10 bill, and $50 bill. It wasn't radical then, and shouldn't be now.

IMO it is too early to consider this. Well, maybe not too early to consider but far too early to act upon it. His widow's grief is still raw and she opposes it. I am all for the idea of Reagan on currency but I feel that it is too soon. Out of respect for his wife I would say give it a while.

[AntiGuv]

FDR should stay on the dime. I say ditch Andrew Jackson from the $20..

[Condor51]

How about just making a NEW Treasury Note? A Twenty-Five Dollar note with this picture on it:

In addition to new RR money, what would really tick off the RATS would be to start re-naming any Fed Building with 'Kennedy' to REAGAN. They'd go apoplectic! Teddy would croak right in the Senate, it'd be a thing of beauty :-)

And screw FDR & his stinking dime. FDR's policies were only worth ten cents anyway.

[stillnoprotestsagainstmuslims]

What party has the goods on money? It seems they`re all Democ-rats...I can think of only Lincoln off hand...Who else is a Republican on money? I think Lincoln is the only one, oh wait Grant, he`s on the 50 buck bill. Then you got the Indian chick and that Susan B.Sarandon coin...Man, Repubs need more money with them on it. Maybe they can put Reagan on that coin and lose the broad.

[LibKill]

Put Reagan on the dime. To hell with what the 'rats think.

[Freebird Forever]

$20 dollar bill bump

[cyberjet31]

BUMP!!!!

[SamAdams76]

I would like to see Richard Nixon on some of our money as well. Seriously. Nixon should get the dime or the half-dollar. I'd like to see Reagan on the $20 bill and the dollar coin. Harry Truman should be on something too. How about the $5 bill? Got to throw the Democrats a bone here and Truman is the only Democrat president that doesn't make me want to puke. And what about Theodore Roosevelt? He was right up there with Reagan IMHO.
