<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 2402182, member: 23368&quot;]Don&#039;t get me wrong, I support any women on a coin or paper money. However; I think all portraits, even women&#039;s, should be allegorical. I hate politicians or presidents on our money. They belong in history books or on commemoratives. The greatest of all collection pieces had neither. The educational series on paper currency and the classic coins until the late 1800&#039;s. Then the dumb politicians realized they had a way to immortalize each others party officials. I would just love to keep real people off our circulating currency. Remember the history behind the fractional currency when William Fessenden put himself on the 25c fractional paper currency? Congress went into overdrive and gave the Secretary of the Treasury the power to decide portraits. Dead presidents and exceptions for Alexander Hamilton, (who maybe dethroned) Salmon Chase and Benjamin Franklin; were still allowed. No disrespect, but I believe political overtures should not be part of that decision. I believe our countries soldiers fight for freedom, liberty, God and justice; not dead presidents from political parties. Honor ideal&#039;s which are proven.&nbsp; IMHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
