Also, Andrew Jackson engineered the Irish Potato Famine, and started the Great Fire of London in 1666. Whoa, year of the devil! Two more good reasons to remove this genocidal maniac from our currency.

National Scenes: New York harbor. Mount Rushmore. Yosemite. The Golden Gate. The Mall in Washington. An anachronistic scene of a paddlewheeler going past the Gateway Arch.

I’d like to see those put on the backs of the notes, or even historic scenes like the flag raising at Iwo Jima, or Washington crossing the Delaware, from the painting. Actually, the $2 bill has the signing of the Constitution, but as we all know it doesn’t circulate. It amazes and saddens me that any such idea never gained enough traction to become the custom, when what we have now are just austere images of government buildings. It’s the way you would imagine Soviet era Russian money to be…the Palace Of The Soviets on the back of the 5-ruble bill, or whatever.

The Kremlin. Soviet ruble bills had the Kremlin on the back for every 50 ruble bill or above.
