All about the Reagans

(via Joe Bob’s Week in Review)

The Ronald Reagan Legacy Project has spent the past three years planning to get the $10 bill changed to feature Reagan instead of Alexander Hamilton. Meanwhile, Representative Jeff Miller of Florida introduced a bill to put Reagan on the half- dollar coin, domain of JFK, while Representative Dana Rohrabacher of California wants to put him on the $20 bill, currently occupied by Andrew Jackson. There’s even been discussion of replacing Benjamin Franklin on the hundred-dollar bill, because he’s “not a president,” raising the specter of “The Reagan” being the preferred currency of drug dealers. It would be especially nice if the reverse side featured Bonzo.
