vcczar Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Who would you put on American paper money and coins if charged to reform who and what appears on the currency. You may opt to keep things the same or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, I'd have to carefully consider that, too. But I'd be willing to give it thought and opinion. Don’t forget to take the president poll in the other thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConservativeElector2 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I don't think any changes should be made. There are many people worth being on the money, but I'd leave it as it is. It would be cool though, if all states printed their own interchangeable dollar coins and notes in addition to the ''federal dollar'' and gave them individual symbols or people mattering for that particular state. I like the idea of knowing from which state I have currency in my hand. Other than that I'd also like to see the higher denominations, which have been cancelled in 1945, coming back. Fun fact: I got a coin from Iceland (1995) today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPotatoTed Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I’d leave it as is. I liked @ConservativeElector2’s idea of letting each state choose someone for their interchangeable dollar...but then I realized there’d be 50 different active variations of a single denomination for clerks, tellers, etc to memorize against fraud, and that’s just too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in the US at least, cashiers are taught to test bills that are $20 and higher, because counterfeiting anything less than that apparently isn’t worth it.

vcczar Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 I would probably put a different president every year on the 100. Different politician on the 50. Different non-politician non-political citizen of note on the 20. I’d put a different activist on the 10. I’d put a different cultural person (poet or artist etc) on the 5. I’d put a random living us citizen that makes middle or less income on the 1. Every year the person changes on all of these. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
