HMMM…INTERESTING…

Filed under: | News

Supporters of the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project propose to put President Reagan’s face on the $10 bill, replacing Alexander Hamilton, who’s been on it since at least 1929. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has already said that he’ll sponsor a bill to do just that when the time is right.
Accordingly, opponents of the effort include admirers of Hamilton, who was a founding father of our country and was fatally shot in a duel 200 years ago by Vice President Aaron Burr.
Let’s review portraits which either currently appear, or have appeared, on the modern currency notes and coins:

While the list appears to me to be quite balanced, the $2 bill, the $1 coin, and the 50-cent coin are no longer being minted...and they should be. I can understand why Reagan supporters believe Hamilton should be replaced. After all, neither Hamilton nor Franklin ever served as President.
So in this instance, I ask you to draw your own conclusions.
