I don't like our money choices. I like the color and design, but not the people.

I go

unit     front               back
$1       MLK              Jackie Robinson

$2      Audie Murphy       Gen Patraeus

$5     Lincoln            Lincoln Monument

$10     Hamilton          Signing of declaration of Independence

$20     Elvis             Stevie Wonder

$50     Dick Butkus        Joe Montana and Archie Griffin

$100   Bill and Melinda Gates     Ronald Regan

$500  Superman      Marilyn Monroe as Statue of Liberty     


penny       Bill Russell          Bob Cousy

nickel       Eishenhower          Patton

dime   John Paul Jones  the guy that shot down the Red Barron 

Quarter   The Apollo moon lander         Neil Armstrong on moon

Half dollar    George Washington     Signing of US Constitution


I wonder who I forgot.

Nah, since the $2 bill is more myth than real, and since its not in major circulation I think you should have Tupac on it.  Works on so many levels.


$2 bill, 2 pac
2 and 2, it works perfectly


Man 1:  I saw a $2 bill the other day. 
Man 2:  No you didn't stop lying.

Man 1:  I saw 2pac the other day. 
Man 2:  No you didn't stop lying.
See, both happen all the time now in real life.  They're perfectly interchangeable.

Maybe on the back, you can have Elvis hanging out with Bigfoot and the Lochness Monster or something.


Bill Gates on the $100?   It's all about the Gates? It's all about the Bill bills?  Nah, that doesn't work.  It's all about the ______ (what works well here?)  Maybe put Marilyn Monroe here, cuz we do it all for the women, we spend all our money on those type of women.  Ya that's what it's all about.  Or maybe put her on the $1, cuz ya know where you spend those $1's at  ;)

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

I like it but George Washington was the most important person in American history he deserves the $1. He could have easily become a dictator or a king - the people WANTED him to - and he refused. He is the only reason that the American Democratic system exists today and had we gone to a monarchical format who knows if our country would be around any more, period.

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift...

I thought about Jordan and just couldn't. He's not clearly the best player so I went with Bill R due to the most rings.

I thought about Michael Jackson and then just came to the conclusion that one is just not gonna fly

For a minute I was thinking the exact same thing and then I had a quarter with him on it and on the back a quote that said "The only founding father to free his slaves" and just in the end I couldn't put a slave holder on money. I tried, but just couldn't.

Also I apologize that obviously a native american should have been on something.  Since we broke so many treaties it probably wouldn't be good to put one on bonds.

I guess I'd go with the one that was nice to the Pilgrims or maybe Crazy Horse or Sitting Bull. Maybe Techumsa or Sacajawea, but she had her chance.
