When was FDR put on the dime? |
|
It seems like theres this huge rush to put Reagan on the ten (well, not that much of a rush, since they'd been trying since before he was actually dead, but anyhoo) and it seems bizarre that the discussions are starting this early, but I really have no basis to judge it on. Did they start talking about the dime this soon after FDR's death? How long did they wait?

4. Put Reagan on the Government Bonds |
|
Because he ran up the biggest debts in history (until Shrub anyway).

5. They put him on because of his work for the March of Dimes |
|
I think once the general public is alerted to that fact, the notion of putting Reagan on it will vanish. *IF* the general public is alerted to that fact.
