Reagan coin?

[pupdog]

I think it would be perfectly appropriate for Reagan's likeness to adorn that gold-colored coin. On the back should be a starling, which ought to be the National Bird (how many eagles have most people seen this morning?).

In Canada, we don't have problems like this. We just put the Queen on everything.

Oh yes, enforced Reagan tatoos on everyone's forehead (note: Ronald -6 letters- Wilson -6 letters- Reagan -6 letters! The number of the beast!) It would only be a fitting honor to this greatest of all Americans ever in the whole history of the human race (including the history to come that hasn't been made yet but which will someday be in a time when everyone is free to sing the praises of Reagan openly and with confidence that they are doing proper honor to the greatest human being to ever stroll the hills of California.....)

I remember when I first met Reagan. He walked across the water on the reflecting pool, he then healed a bunch of leapars whith a wave of his hand. We we hungry and he fed the crowd with only one bag of jelly beans, he sobered up Ted Kennedy, he flew around the world and reversed time in order to save Lois Lane. Ah yes I miss the 80s' that was the decaded............I dropped alot of acid.

Some other countries have scientists on their currency.

That's a much better idea.

That's a pretty dated site. How long has Charlie Darwin been on the British 20 pound note? It wasn’t featured on that site.


But we do have one scientist on our money.

I don’t think he should be taken off, but should instead be in a less prominent role. Jefferson on the 2 is somewhat of an insult. And what about Madison? Can't they made a 75$ bill to put him on? He deserves the recognition.

Madison's on the 5000. You don't have one handy? Cheapskate.

 

[Skeptic]

I think there are three non-presidents on bills: Hamilton ($10), Franklin ($100), and Chase ($10,000).

can we put thomas paine on something?

that was nice of him to cure the leapers. people cursed with uncontrollable jumping are truly to be pitied.

Doesnt the money really insult the non-money presidents. Soory Taft, you sucked. No $2 bill for you!

Yes, but can we make the bill wide enough for him to fit?

Would you guys settle for a McRonald Reagan gift certificate good for a Happy Meal?

Oh my, yes! A Happy Meal's got all the vegetables a growing person might need ~~ ketchup! I'm all for it.

 

[Evolver]

How about putting him on a billion-dollar bill. That way, only the people who benefitted from his presidency would get to see it.

Since Ronald Reagan (along with his two Bush successors) is responsible for most of this country’s national debt, I have the following proposals:

1) Put Reagan’s picture on the United States Treasury Bill, our principle unit of public debt.
2) Rename the Watergate the Ronald Reagan Memorial Watergate Hotel.

Gotta love that rainbow divider. If only there was an 'under construction' graphic, too. Darwin is on our ten pound note, but as he wasn't a physicist, he wouldn't have been on the site. Michael Faraday used to be on the twenty pound note and is included. He was subsequently replaced by Elgar, though.

Nancy Reagan is against the idea

Since Ronald Reagan (along with his two Bush successors) is responsible for most of this country’s national debt, I have the following proposals:

Surely you realize Clinton added almost as much to the national debt as Reagan did (1.6 vs 1.7 trillion).

 

[headscratcher4]

Surely you realize Clinton added almost as much to the national debt as Reagan did (1.6 vs 1.7 trillion).

So, that is the standard you want to set?

You hate Clinton, so the fact that he almost ran up as much debt as Reagon says what about the allegedly fiscal conservative/pro-small government Reagan?

Clinton "did it" so now it's ok, indeed, deserving of a "coin" for being great? Than, maybe Clinton should get a coin for not having run up quite as much debt (Georgie W. btw, is well on his way to beating both Clinton and Reagan and GROWING the size of government at the same time...there soon will be a new standard..."well, at least he didn't run up as much debt as George Bush...).

Sheesh, are you a member of the Clinton defense league? I was simply offering a point of fact on national debt. And do you think perhaps having to deal with a recession during your term of office has something to do with national debt accumulation?

BTW, for the record, I don't hate Clinton. I think he blew a golden opportunity (read 8 years of economic stability) to make some real progress in the country and internationally, but instead focused on getting bjs. What a pity.
