$3 bill is about right. It’s equally phony.

I agree with Ed. If the Republicans really think Reagan deserves to be honored on US currency, issue an Air Traffic Control commemorative coin and put him on that. Hey, what about Gerald Ford? Jefferson has had a long run on the $2 bill; let’s give Ford a turn.

Don’t try repairing our economy, change the picture on a denomination, that may soon be used to buy a day’s food. Bring back the $500 bill, and maybe even a circulating $1,000 bill. Who knows! With inflation, we may need both denominations.

Now that I think about it, I think if we had to have President Reagan on something, it should be the half dollar. The Kennedy design has had a good run and on top of it, I could imagine that Republicans would want to see this coin be successful and force vendors to finally accept half dollars to make the coin more acceptable. The half dollar is badly in need of resurrection. I do what I can giving them out in change at work, but there’s only so much one man can do (and that’s apparently about 1500 coins a year).

Paleeeeze,

Bonzo might be a hero to some, but not to me.

His policies only benefited the rich (what a shock).

He had scandals like all of the recent presidents.

He is not deserving of that honor.

If you want to put ronnie on some money, make it monopoly money!

The $100 bill buys what a $20 bill did (or less) when high-denomination notes were suspended, so a $500 bill would be just about right. And Europe has a €200 bill so why can’t we plug the gap between the $100 and $500 with a brand-new denomination? Put Ronnie on that, or on a $2 coin.

While we’re at it, why not a Teddy Roosevelt bill or coin? He’s as deserving as anyone but nobody seems to care about him either.

Why don’t they just resurrect the idea of placing President Reagan on the dime? While I’m tired of our current portraiture series of coins, the timing’s right to place him on the coin for his centennial in 2011. 2010 marks the 65th year of the Roosevelt dime. It is also the traditional retirement age. So “retire” the Roosevelt image with dignity and replace it with a new coin as it could have been anytime after 1970.
