USA Today is reporting on the possibility of Ronald Reagan on the $10 bill.

I like the idea. Hamilton who?
This is not a new idea; The New York Times reported it in February 2001, according to the ReaganLegacy website, and before that in the St. Petersburg Times.

Now if you were a dead president, would you want your face to be our currency? And if so, which denomination? It it’s the $1, everyone would see your face all the time. $20 and it would be your face being spit out of ATM machines everywhere. $50 or $100 and you’d be tucked into birthday and graduation cards. $1000? You’d feel important, but would anyone ever remember you were on it? Can’t remember the last time I saw $1000 bill (if ever).
Maybe coins are the way to go. You get to jingle around in people’s pockets….

I’m thinking if I’m dead, I pretty much don’t care…. Ok, ok, I think I’d rather be on the quarter. Lots of people have quarters, they’re desired as the most useful coin (weight/value ratio, useful in tollbooths, etc). Washington shouldn’t mind, he’s still on the dollar. Also, he’s dead, too.
