[QUOTE="CheetahCats, post: 835759, member: 23874"]lol.. deja vu... this topic is being discussed on another forum too! here's my two cents from what I posted elsewhere: [INDENT]Dead leaders for commemoratives only. [U]With respect to the U.S.[/U] I believe that [I]idolatry [/I]on U.S. tender is pretentious, pompous, and even dangerous for a democratic republic; Government is supposed to be "of the people, by the people, for the people" -- not a medium to subjectively deify politicians. Reagan is proffered, yet could we actually imagine a "Carter Quarter", a "Hoover Half", or a "Nixon Nickel?" No - as it should be, and neither should it be for historically-subjective "rock stars" like Reagan, Roosevelt, et al. I'm all for the return of liberty and symbolism for regular coin and currency issues. Something of beauty and pure artistry like the Educational Series for currency would even be nicer!
