<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 834241, member: 39&quot;]Then again, it is their money (I am not from the US either). I would not want somebody like Reagan to be on circulating US coins or notes, but if the Americans want (wanted) that, their business. Personally I also find depicting Andrew &quot;Indian Removal&quot; Jackson ($20) offensive, but at least on coins that is part of a series depicting all presidents except for the recent ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>It does make a lot of sense that we do not have living people on legal tender in most democratic countries (OK, in monarchies it is common to show the head of state). And in my personal opinion a politician should not appear on money shortly after s/he died either. In the Federal Republic of Germany we did that, on coins, with our very first president (Theodor Heuss) and head of government (Konrad Adenauer). I would not have done that, but back then I could not say anything. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
