While at the bank today the lady teller she heard on the news that there is a movement to replace Andrew Jacksons face with a woman. After a quick little internetin' search i found this,
http://www.womenon20s.org/ Chatting with this lady we both agreed that this isn't necessary and i said "only Ben Franklin is the only coolest guy not to be president to be put on our money". So i'm just curious to hear what the people of WAguns has so say. |

The irony of Jackson's face on a bill issued by a central bank has always amused me. I also think our money should be more varied and reflect more of the people who made this country. Let's shake this up, the faces on the paper have been around for ages. I'd be happy to see some fresh faces just for giggles and variety. Women, military leaders, scientists, natives, whatever...

So i'm just curious to hear what the people of WAguns has so say. I guess that leaves out Salmon P. Chase from this discussion of coolest non presidents on US paper currency. Although Mr. Chase was on a larger denomination. |

What Hillery wants to be on a bill now?
So...Unless it's Betsy Ross, Hanna Arnett, Abigail Adams, or Martha Washington....I would probably say NO. _________________ What is a Waterbouget? It is that yellow thing in the middle, below my user name. |

It's illegal for a living person to be on a bill.
Also, why just those three? Are there no other women in US history worthy of being honored? _________________ "I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said." - William Buckley, Jr. "...steam, artillery and revolvers give to civilized man an irresistible power." -Perry Collins |

Don't fix what ain't broke. How much money is it gunna cost the tax payer for the artist to create the sketch then the scetch to do all its remodeling and such to be turned into a plate.... There's a lot that goes into that art work, I watched a show on tv(discovery or history channel) that showed the whole process of turning a portrait into that of a plate... And it ain't easy, so I bet it ain't fuckin cheap

So you make a few jobs, make the money a bit nicer for a change *shrug*. Beats some of the stupid shit the government spends money on anyway.
