Ernesto "Che" Guevara

 

Idi Amin, Uganda

Not mine.

 

He's looking a bit peckish there.

 

Trail of Tears.

 

That didn't take long.

 

This is a "fantasy" novelty note I got on eBay last year (I am an avid WWII collector) and only paid about $15 for it. Totally worthless, but a part of history nonetheless.

 

Didn't mean to man, but he killed some relatives of mine on the ToT. How is he better than Mao except for scale, and most likely killed more than Che.

 

If Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, and Nicholas Biddle were still alive, you'd probably get the same answer, albeit for different reasons. Regardless, I'm probably missing a few, but for Jackson making political enemies was as easy as breathing.

 

Jean Bedel Bokassa/ Emperor/ Central African Empire
This thug also was a cannibal.

 

Not sure how sir. Were they President and ignore a point blank Supreme Court ruling causing the death of 10,000-20,000 Americans, or did they just fight over a national bank?

 

Plutarco Elias Calles on a 1988 100,000 Peso note



Marx on the Zero Euro note



And who could forget our boy (and Glorious leader of the People) Kim Jong Il?



I would like to post one with Xi Jinping but he's not on any banknote I could find.

 

I have no idea, but I'm being assured by people on other threads that disrespecting Jackson means that you "hate white people". It's a puzzler for sure.

 

There are some fantasy bills I would post, but I won't get too political, even 20 years later.

 

Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot aimed to turn Cambodia into an agarian "Stone Age" society. He also wanted to abolish money. in the next two years his henchmen murdered a quarter of the Cambodian populace.

 

I'm just simply stating that several historical figures contemporary to Andrew Jackson likely held him in similar regard as you do now, albeit for different reasons.

 

Including murdering people who looked like intellectuals -- say, because they wore glasses. Or because they spoke multiple languages. Intelligent people, he reasoned, were more likely to threaten his regime. Yeah, there have been a lot of evil leaders in history, but not many further down my personal fecal roster.

 

I have one of these but not sure where it is.

Dr Francois Duvalier, President for Life, was, by all accounts, a rather horrid individual.

Lovely banknote though. ABNC really did a great job on these.
