Now we need a Smith's Bros. (remember them) cough drop lookalike coin.

How about this “Bob Hope” note of Fractional Currency?

The man on the face of the bill is actually William Harris Crawford (Feb. 24, 1772-Sept. 15, 1834), who according to the U.S. Congress, was the seventh U.S. Secretary of the Treasury for almost nine years under Presidents James Madison and James Monroe and also served as U.S. Secretary of War and as a member of the U.S. Senate. He finished third in the 1824 presidential election behind John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson despite having the support of Thomas Jefferson and Madison.
