14. Second that. MLKJr. on the money!
If Non-Presidents Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and Salmon Freakin' CHASE can be on the money, why not the Reverend Doctor?

5. Eisenhower told us of the military industrial complex.
When Roosevelt is placed 10 dollar bill, Eisenhower should be put on the dime.

7. Theodore Roosevelt.
He pushed to get Lincoln on the penny, it would be fitting for one of our greatest presidents to have the same done.

16. Washington is on the quarter and the dollar.
Edited on Mon Nov-10-08 02:30 PM by baldguy
Lincoln is on the $5 and the penny. Jefferson is on the nickel and the $2. FDR is at least as important as any of them.

And yes, I know the $2 is sort of a consolation prize for TJ - but still...

18. I always thought Ben Franklin should be on the penny -
after all, he 'coined' "a penny saved is a penny earned".
