$1 - Sojourner Truth
$2 - Sequoyah
$5 - MLK Jr
$10 - Frederick Douglass
$20 - Harriet Tubman
$50 - Wilma Mankiller
$100 - Ben Franklin
$500 - Maria Tallchief
Maria Tallchief was a total bitch. If she goes on the $500, I’ll never use them again!
$1 - Kermit
$5 - Fozzie
$10 - Gonzo
$20 - Miss Piggy
$50 - The Swedish Chef
$100 - Statler and/or Waldorf
$1… Bald Eagle
$5… Red Wolf
$10… American Moose
$20… Bison
$50… Armadillo
$100… Grizzly Bear
Kim Kardashian
Since the OP’s TITLE says “Presidents,” I say we can still use Franklin and Hamilton, so
$1 - Martin Luther King Jr.
$5 - Mark Twain
$10 - Alexander Hamilton
$20 - Thomas Edison
$50 - Neil Armstrong
$100 - Benjamin Franklin
You have to be dead. On second thought…
I think we could go to non-human images. Every person has their faults and failures. So…
$1 Statue of Liberty
$2 Empire State Building
$5 Apollo-Saturn V
$10 Bald Eagle
$20 Lunar Module
$50 Space Shuttle
$100 Liberty from the St Gaudens Double Eagle
How do you separate the two of them? Chainsaw?
$1 - Liberty
$5 - MLK
$10 - Earl Warren
$20 - Neil Armstrong
$50 - Patton
$100 - Ben Franklin
I’d consider Franklin to be far more than a politician- inventor, writer, diplomat, etc.
Ben is so great, I’d have to leave him on. $100
I think we should make sure that John Adams or John Jay are also honored as two of the Founding Fathers who were not Presidents. $5? $50?
Samuel Clemens= $2. He’d like that.
Sachmo. Harriet Tubman. Tecumseh or Sequoyah. $10, 20, 50.
Put Sacagawea back on the dollar coin.
Neil Armstrong is also a good choice.
Oh, neat thread!
$1 Dennis Miller
$2 Bobcat Goldthwait
$5 Danny DeVito
$10 Mel Brooks
$20 John Belushi
$50 Cheech Marin
$100 Robin Williams
Do that, and I’d start carrying cash again.
I’d go with national parks.
$1 - Yellowstone
$2 - Glacier
$5 - Grand Canyon
$10 - Yosemite
$20 - Arches
$50 - Volcano
$100 - Saguaro
I think you have an error above, John Adams was our second President, not a very good President but a great founding father of course.
Doh, :smack: I mean Samuel Adams.
Yes, on all the bills!
I would question your choice of Patton Oswalt.
I say we sell them like desertmonk says, say in 2 year increments via auction.
So
$1 = Godaddy.com
$2 = Sam Adams
$5 = Coca-Cola
$10 = Tide
$20 = Chevrolet
$50 = Apple
$100 = Progressive.com
or something like that
Well, he has his beer at least. He is well recognized.
I really don’t see putting artists of any kind on money. I think it’s a conflict both to the money and the artist! I think the ideal individual is a distinguished statesman. Not necessarily a President and **not **a politician, but a statesman (IOW who we already put on them!). And because as I said above it must be a deceased one from more than a generation ago, I can’t think of too many women or minorities that would be appropriate without it just being undeserving political correctness. I really don’t like retconning history.
This is similar to a prior thread.
Not that anyone has heard of them, but for Cayman it gets tricky eliminating the politicians. Editing my result from the last time I’ll make a couple changes.
$1 - Gladwyn K. Bush aka ‘Miss Lassie’, Caymanian folk artist
$5 - Capt. Rayal Bodden, Caymanian shipwright and architect
$10 - Generic turtle fishermen motif, a nod to our seafaring past
$25 - Sybil Joyce Hylton, Caymanian social development pioneer
$50 - Capt. Charles Gerald Kirkconnell, Caymanian sea captain and entrepreneur
$100 - Dr. Marco Giglioli, immigrant entomologist who brought mosquito control to Cayman
