That sounds like how they do things in some other countries -- or used to: Descartes, Pascal, Cezanne, Voltaire, Hugo, Delacroix, Berlioz, etc. on the French franc, etc.

So much of who we are has gone into the "Dead Presidents" currency, though, that changes can be traumatic.

I guess we'll survive, but I don't really see why this change was considered necessary.

They’re changing it for reasons of political correctness, inclusiveness and diversity. My attitude is that if they’re going to hand us lemons, let’s make lemonade.

Using “Dead Presidents” is a way of saying that the Government is God.

No more politicians on money, period. America is not about the government, or at least, that’s how it used to be.
