<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stevearino, post: 3850079, member: 74571&quot;]I have appreciated Norway&#039;s and Sweden&#039;s practice of putting folks OTHER THAN politicians on their notes: authors, scientists, opera singers, actors, composers.&nbsp; Other than a few select USA politicians (states-men and -women...now isn&#039;t <b>that</b> a disappearing species) one could argue (I do) that many of our composers, scientists and artists have contributed more to our culture and society than politicians.</p><p><br /></p><p>Give many of them their &quot;spot in the sun.&quot;&nbsp; Norway and Sweden put new folks on their notes every decade or so.&nbsp; They accept the change, evidently, as I don&#039;t hear complaints from my friends and relatives.&nbsp; Norway just changed their notes, again, and this time they depict the ocean and its importance in the life of the nation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the American public can handle change.&nbsp; Heck, there are young people that have NO idea whose likeness is on our bills.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t believe me, just ask them. You&#039;ll be surprised.&nbsp; I&#039;ve heard of young clerks who accept one dollar bills with the corner numbers bleached off and replaced with &quot;100.&quot;&nbsp; Good ol&#039; George just increased in value by a hundred-fold.&nbsp; If tested with the pen, it will show as a real bill, because it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
