Redesigning money
The comments below on Reagan, Grant, the Charter Oak, etc. got me thinking on a topic I have strong opinions about: more suitable subject matter for American money. My suggestion would be to retire the presidents. Beyond that, any artistic rendering of most any subject or non-political person would be welcome. Might I suggest Emily Dickinson, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Henry David Thoreau, Amy Beach, or Frank Lloyd Wright as suitable persons. American landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Yosemite, the Gateway Arch, the Empire State Building, or the Natural Bridge? American achievements such as the moon landing, the transcontinental railroad, the Erie Canal, or the invention of baseball? Any other ideas?
