Proposal would put Ronald Reagan's face on the $50 bill

I’d rather see him on the hundred. That’s the largest denomination in circulation, and I’d say Reagan deserves it over Franklin.

ZULU, you haven’t kept up on my posts here on FR, but I’ve gotten into a few exchanges with people who love Bush more than I. I was let down like many were let down and after initially signing up on this site in 2001 I had inquired about a new screen name, but never got a response back or a new name. But love how you try to turn it around in your disrespect of Grant and saying he deserves no such honors. I just pointed out that Grant WAS MORE THAN A PRESIDENT as you well know and you want to sweep the true reason he was given the honor away and not address his pivotal role in the saving and rebirth of the Republic as General in the Civil War. You are all shameful to push this when there are other honors to be given to Reagan, but at the cost of Grant you people have no respect for a remarkable man who I’m sure Reagan would be appalled at the disrespect.

I'd just be happy if they would pick a blasted design in paper and coin currency and stick to it. I wish they would stop changing the blame currency at the drop of a hat. Nickles now look like quarters. The bills look like something out of Europe now. Gee I wonder why /sarcasm.

Reagan was my favorite POTUS and I don't begrudge him his due honors but I'm tired of the currency changes. I can only imagine how frustrated a blind person would be with this.
