[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 26090278, member: 4626"]More of a convention than a rule... no living person has been on US currency as of yet, but there have been people on US coins while they were still alive (for example, Calvin Coolidge, Eunice Shreiver, and I think whoever was governor of Alabama in 1921). I suppose Congress could make an exception. It would just seem weird though... precisely why they generally don't put living people on currency (and to date, have not). Had to look it up to be sure it wasn't a joke, but apparently yes, it is an actual introduced piece of legislation. Not got to the point of being voted on yet. Kind of doubt it will get far. To be fair though, we used to have bills higher than $100. Arguably makes more sense now that it did then. $250 just seems a weird denomination though. If it does come into existence, will have to keep at least one.[/QUOTE]
