[QUOTE=Cows Rule;50038183]Should I be saving my $10 bills then? I'd think the monetary value wouldn't change but one day people might be looking for old fashioned bills.[/QUOTE]
not for a long time
[QUOTE=butre;50038196]it sure would be something to put on the $20 bill the face of a man who was in power at a time when nobody had a $20 bill[/QUOTE]
As oppose to the current $20 having the picture of a man who destroyed the banks? :v:
What's so bad about Alexander Hamilton?
[QUOTE=Atlascore;50038170]Fuck that, put FDR on the $20 bill.[/QUOTE]
What about Japanese Internment Camps.
[QUOTE=Duck M.;50038146]Ah yeah that's right lets just forget that whole "trail of tears" thing[/QUOTE]
Shit, I actually forgot about that. Fuck me
How about Eleanor Roosevelt
It seems kind of weird replacing Hamilton, especially now since the Broadway musical has kind of re-popularized him as an American history icon.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50038221]What about Japanese Internment Camps.[/QUOTE]
Given that we have the man behind the Trail of Tears on the current $20, I think this would be acceptable.
What about Theodore Roosevelt?
[QUOTE=wauterboi;50038159]I don't see anything wrong with it. It's not like it takes a lot of effort to change it.[/QUOTE]
The issue I have is there's no reason to remove Hamilton or to change anything in the first place. But there's especially no reason, again, to remove Hamilton. I mean, the man was one of the Founding Fathers, he was a very notable war hero during the revolution everywhere from the Battle of Trenton to the Siege of Yorktown (leading a bayonet charge at the latter to take British redoubts), and he was our first treasury secretary. Honestly, as much as I like Jackson, I'd sooner favor him being removed than Hamilton.
My first choice in any situation however would be to change nothing.

This is who I originally wanted to see go on some piece of currency, assuming they were as hellbent as they originally seemed to be on changing it up. TR was awesome.
[QUOTE=wauterboi;50038159]I don't see anything wrong with it. It's not like it takes a lot of effort to change it.[/QUOTE]
Ahh, no, but it does take an absolute fuckton of time and money and debating in congress just to agree on changing a bill. Another cycle to decide which bill gets changed and what part of it is changed. Can't forget yet another cycle of debating and bickering to choose who's face gets put on the back of the damned thing, if that changes. Then another cycle to agree on a contractor to make the new engravings for the presses. Debate cycles within Congress are done now, but the engravers have to spend an absolute fortune of time making the new plates for the presses, which then have to be cleared by the government and shipped to the mints, installed, tested out.
Only then can the new bills actually start being pressed, itself not exactly a cheap or easy operation.
So, really, it [b]does[/b] take a lot of effort to change our currency. There's a good reason the design didn't change significantly for nearly a century. Pretty much the only surefire way to get it changed is when counterfeiting runs rampant.

This is my only issue with it. I don't have a problem with changing it at all, but I think it's a waste of time and money. My response is both "why not?" and "why?"
It'll probably be FDR. I can't imagine them picking anyone else

[QUOTE=The Duke;50038106]st face we have on a widely-used US currency is John F. Kennedy on the 50 cent coin and he ended up on the coin in less than a year after his assassination, 53 years ago.[/QUOTE]

Ah, missed that point. Maybe then Eleanor Roosevelt, as someone else suggested. I could possibly see Susan B Anthony as another choice, perhaps even Harriet Tubman
[QUOTE=The Duke;50038106]Lincoln is already on the $5. :v:
How about Reagan for the $20, the youngest face we have on a widely-used US currency is John F. Kennedy on the 50 cent coin and he ended up on the coin in less than a year after his assassination, 53 years ago.[/QUOTE]

Susan B Anthony would be a poor choice since she's already on a coin.
[QUOTE=The Duke;50038133]Reagan has been deceased for over a decade and hasn't been in office for nearly 30 years, but fair enough.
How about Woodrow Wilson?[/QUOTE]
Wilson was a pretty big racist though.
Imagine the uproar if they do another white male on the dollar hahaha
My proposition for the $10 bill is a line of Contras with the word "Whoops" in all caps faintly visible across the entire bill.
in impact font.

Clara Barton would be a great choice for an American woman, doubt it's her though.

Photoshop "Million" there and put it on the print.

JFK is the last president that needs to be on any currency (in chronological order, not because he was bad).
Whoopi Goldberg for her role in Sister Act.
Anita Sarkeesian should be on it.
also, it's really goddamn dumb to replace the $10 bill and not the $20 instead. Andrew Jackson was much more of a piece of shit than Hamilton was, and on top of that, Jackson was against any centralized banking system, so it's even dumber to have someone like him on our money.
With the Broadway musical, you'll now be able to sell a $10 from 2015 for $100 since it has his marketable face on it
