STOP IDOLIZING POLITICIANS
IDOLIZE BEAUTY AND FREEDOM. Lets make some new, revolutionary designs in our nations coinage and currency.
Im sick of all this ego feeding BS.

stinkinlincoln---You need to go back and read the rules concerning political hate speach.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I suspect that the proposer knows this too.
I also suspect that the proposer just made the proposal to help himself win his Republican primary. Happens all the time, from politicians of all parties.
Don't work up a sweat about it.

If thats hate speech now, my point has been made.
And Ive read the TOS and 'new rules'
I'd also be in favor of Christopher "Don't tread on me" Gadsden. I'd love to see Neill "That's one small step" Armstrong on a bill after he passes.
Jack "Tell me where the bombs are located!" Bauer would be ok too.

I knew it would happen.
Our currency should express our national ideals and fundamental beliefs. As President Washington noted, the coinage must not glorify the civil agents of government - neither kings, nor Presidents, nor potentates. Presidents are but transient custodians of power delegated to them by the people and their elected representatives.
Hmmm.
Sold missles to Iran, after they held US hostages for 444 days.
Raised taxes on middle America.
In January 1981, when Reagan declared the federal budget to be "out of control," the deficit had reached almost $74 billion, the federal debt $930 billion. Within two years, the deficit was $208 billion. The debt by 1988 totaled $2.6 trillion. In those eight years, the United States moved from being the world's largest international creditor to the largest debtor nation.
I'm just not seeing it.
My vote is No.

All that changed during the Lincoln administration when government officials past and present were placed on currency.

The principle didn't change, just the practice. I agree fully with RWB that the principle should remain that presidents, etc. not appear on currency. No politics, I'm all for them ALL being removed, and none ever being added.

I agree and I'll amend my statement to include stamps under Polk, which was 14 years before Lincoln did currency.
This time I'll cancel it after being sent.

RWB and Jeremy, are you saying no political leaders should be put on our coinage and currency ever again??
I almost have to agree with that premise, as the modern day politicians have lost all credibility with the American people.
Less government more LIBERTY!!! U.S. symbolism, Lady Liberty, sculpture, landscape, great Americans, and art will do just fine on our coinage.

I'm happy to say no people, period. Some people stand for values, but we have seen so much coinage that proves the values can stand alone through art. Today we have ugly busts of dead guys.

I mostly agree. Coin World has been adding a section of World Coins, I couldn't help thinking those are some pretty sweet coins, expecially compared to our dollar coin...

I'm
quite
surprised
you're
aware
of
the
"no politics"
rule.
(Note to the forums: I am sorry for perpetuating this political thread, and realize that most of the times I start a post like this I cancel it before I send it. The explosion in the irony-o-meter closet must of clouded my judgment.)>>
OWNED!!!
<< <i>It was our first progressive president, Roosevelt I, who started placing people (Lincoln) over principles (Liberty) on our coinage and years later we wound up with his turd of a cousin on our dimes. >>
Did he? Seems like he was the one who helped encourage redesign of our gold coins around 1907.
As I recall, Lincoln didn't appear on the cent until the Taft Administration.
The whole debate about politics and liking or hating someone's politics is a good reason why we never should have gone there to begin with. Placing real people on coins are like government programs -- once in place, it becomes impossible politically to remove them.
Have we lost that?
The name is LEE!
No sir. Im with ya 1000000%.

I like a good political discussion as much as anyone but I'm concerned that Don Willis may start enforcing the rules and I'd hate to see any more of my good forum friends being banned.
