Polk... He is the only persident to fulfill all his campaign promises!!!

MLK will make it onto a commemorative, there's no doubt. I don't think they would put him on a circulating business-issue coin. He is overdue- I'm surprised they haven't done him already. TR is also overdue, though he might have snuck onto a modern commemorative without my noticing(?)
Ronald Reagan. He fulfilled his campaign promises as well.
He brought down the Berlin wall and ended the USSR as it existed and won the cold war.
It's long past time to remove FDR from the dime. Very little about him was good and we are still suffering from his policies.
"Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Marnard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920, page 235ff
I'd like to see a dead President - how about Clinton!
"My friends who see my collection sometimes ask what something costs. I tell them and they are in awe at my stupidity." (Baccaruda, 12/03).I find it hard to believe that he (Trump) rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world.

I think it should depict Andrew Jackson running after his attempted assailant with his cane! There's a way to show people that they can't mess with us.
Not so much for what he did as President although he managed to keep us out of war with France and held the country together during the first few years of the post Washington presidency (no small feat). But add to that his major contributions in arguing for independence, helping to draft the Declaration of Independence (and commissioning Jefferson to put the principles on paper), fighting to overcome the resistance to making Washington commander in chief, gaining financial support from the Dutch to fight the war and negotiator of the Paris peace treaty between England and the U.S. He was also a staunch abolitionist and one of the few Founders that reputated slavery and never owned slaves.
The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin
I agree with the many who want Dead Presidents off our coins, but that was not the question.
My answer is "Old Hickory" Andrew Jackson. It was during his administration that the US Mint established the first Branch Mints at New Orleans, Dahlonega, and Charlotte.
John Hanson...the first President of the US gets my vote....put him proud on the new $1 coin and add some real silver to it...so it has some respect.... Washington on the paper dollar and Hanson on a good coin...thats the ticket!!!!
I don't care but lets not put a new one on a denomination until the year 3003. Until then, lets try something a little different again and see how it goes.
Time sure flies when you don't know what you are doing...
For Vice President - Spiro Agnew on the -$20 coin. For President - Teddy Roosevelt for me too. $5 coin the size of an Ike Dollar. Other notable American - Industrialist and Banker JP Morgan.
I agree Teddy deserves a place on a coin. However, we begin to set up a semi-monarchy (inherited political power) if you think about the fact that FDR has the dime. Will we see Herbert and W on coins in the next century.
Sorry, current disgust for the passing of political power from daddy to son (Bush and Gore) has me a little peeved. I thought one of the reasons for founding this country was to end political birthrights.
If the Mint does use the image of a president, I would go with Teddy Roosevelt on the dime (keeping it in the family). Personally, I'd prefer to see more classic styles like Lady Liberty. I think MLK, jr would make a great commerative coin. I'd like to see a comem with some of the famous industialists/robber barron/financiers, like Carnegie, Morgan, Rockefeller and Vanderbilt, but there are a lot of people that would take exception to that. Brian
Martin Luther King FDR maybe even TR im not sure if you all would go with that one. i think it would be cool to see the 1980 olympic hockey team on a dollar coin the size of an IKE.

Forget the politicians, famous or infamous, and revive the cool and inspring images of "Liberty"! Too often politicians represent the worst of our system, but "Liberty" reminds us of the best!

No more presidents hijacking circulating coinage, please.
I kind of like the idea of a two coin set (Half Dollar, and $1 Gold?) honoring Teddy's contributions to numismatics and conservation, respectively.
