I, unlike many of you, refuse to get all emotional about currency. I like dollar coins. They feel neat, and are cool for tips. If you want to do something practical, GET RID OF THE FREAKIN’ PENNIES.
The time has come. Sheesh!

Hamilton wasn’t even a President if recall correctly, so he seems rather expendable in the scheme who should give up their spot on a dollar.
I personally want one of those dollar bills that Homer had promised Barney to plow his “Driveway” on top of forbidden widow’s peak.
Homer: There’s a $10,000 bill in it for you.
Barney: Oh yeah? Which president is on it?
Homer: Um, all of them. They are having a party. Jimmy Carter is passed out on the couch.
FYI: Salmon P. Chase was on the $10,000 bill.
Another thing I hate about coins is in Cities if the homeless hear them they zero in on you. In Chicago quite a few can be agressive. I have had, on more than one occasion had them say. “Hey I hear the money in your pocket.” With paper I say “I don’t carry money.” (these days I do charge most everything but like to carry about 10 dollars around.
If they insist on keeping the paper dollar, I think it’s time to redesign it in line with the rest of the bills, with a completely new backside. That pyramid with the eye just looks archaic. I always thought Washington crossing the Delaware would look good on a bill. If it has to be a building like the rest, then put Mount Vernon on there.
