Message:: [QUOTE="Resu Eman, post: 709751, member: 9147"]You know, I'd really like to see Teddy Roosevelt on a banknote - especially all done up in his 'Rough Rider' hat and all (we'll forget the fact that he didn't ride with them, and that they didn't get to ride themselves, but had to charge on foot - most people don't know or care, anyway.) Einstein would be a great one too, but I doubt he'd make it; Not much of a politician or statesman. Same too with Martin Luther King. And as much as people love Kenedy and Reagan, I'd rather see them on coin than on banknotes.  That said, I'm all for having commemorative banknotes - even an odd $25 banknote which could cycle through all the presidents, civil rights leaders, scientists, etc.  $25 would be enough to circulate, be able to have most people afford it and would be a fun way to introduce new designs and printing methods.  But I still like the more historical figures that we currently have on our notes. I might suggest replacing Grant with Roosevelt on the $50 and have John Adams on the $500 I guess. Otherwise I like the guys we have.[/QUOTE]
