Message:: [QUOTE="Dr Kegg, post: 827558, member: 23476"]In regards to something of this magnitude, I think that we should take a moment to consider whether we have distanced ourselves from the recent past in order to subjectively look at the subject. In my opinion (and it's only an opinion!!), I don't believe that we have. We as a nation are still debating numerous aspects of his tenure as President, especially some of the controversy surrounding Iran and CONTRA. On the other hand, he steered the USA through the end of the Cold War and is seen by many as righting fiscal policies that had gone astray. Personally, I would love to see the Statue of Liberty on a note, or one of the older large-size note images make a resurgence, but that probably won't happen. A good thing to do is to realize that the only candidates to take off are Jackson and Grant, and Grant was the Republican. Makes more sense than dime or $10 since Hamilton is the reason why we have our modern monetary system and believe in the greenback. Basically I think that he will eventually be on some sort of bill or coinage, just not in the near future...[/QUOTE]
