If you could replace the presidents on the US paper currency

[darkxshade]

Who would you replace them with? The only rule is you cannot replace them with another bunch of presidents. Try to stay within a category. Be creative.

Here's mine:

$1: Bruce Lee
$5: Jean Claude Van Damme
$10: Jet Li
$20: Steven Seagal
$50: Wesley Snipes
$100: Chuck Norris
-----
$2: Jackie Chan(Cuz his kung-fu isn't serious... like the $2 bill)

They used to be a lot more creative with portraits and things on the currency. Used to change them up all the time. In the 1920s when they shrunk the size of paper money to its current size (it used to be quite a bit larger), they settled on the current ones (which were a subset of what they had been using on large-size bills at the time) and never changed them again.

E.g., in the late 1800s they were really big on (Union) Civil War generals (arguably this is why Grant is on the $50, since he wasn't much of a president). Also lots of secretaries of the treasury (two of them made it to the small size bills: Hamilton and Chase (on the $10,000)) and treasurers of the US and such. they also went through a bit of a phase with famous US inventors -- Samuel Morse and Robert Fulton were on a couple bills. Also they were a lot more creative with the reverse designs, until at one point I think Congress passed a law saying the reverses all had to be buildings. (After that the $2 had Monticello on the back, but either they repealed the law or just don't care about the $2, since they changed it to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1976.)

yeah, I'm a geek about this stuff.

Steven Seagal on the $20 bill? No way. He deserves to be on the penny, so when I stick $30 worth of pennies up my ass every morning I'll be making Steven Seagal ass pennies.

I'd use famous scenes from American history on our money. Neil Armstrong on the moon, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, mushroom cloud over Hiroshima (remind the world what happens if you mess with us!), etc.

How about lynching a black man?
Or the masacre of American Indians?
Scenes from the Civil War?

Rambo would be on my $20 bill. I would get rid of all the other bills.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Just put Ron Jeremy on all the money and be done with it.

Uh huh.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I would discontinue the $1 bill just like the penny.
$2: I would be on the 2 dollar bill. And I would charge people 2 dollars every time I saw them in the street.
$5: I would put a picture of an ice cream cone on the five dollar bill. I like ice cream. And 5 dollars will get you a very big ice cream cone.
$10: Bacon. Crispy bacon. Not because it's a picture, but because the 10 dollar bill would be replaced with 2 pounds of bacon.
$20: The guy with the "I beat anerexia" t-shirt. I want that shirt.
$50: A picture of an oil well pump, because oil should never cost more than $50 per barrel!
$100: The dude with the windmill in his beard. The reason for this is that he has a motherfvcking windmill in his motherfvcking beard!
$500: I would bring back the 500 bill, so that you can make large cash transactions without carrying around so many bills. This one would have a bigger picture of The dude with the windmill in his beard.

Steven Seagal on the $20 bill? No way. He deserves to be on the penny, so when I stick $30 worth of pennies up my ass every morning I'll be making Steven Seagal ass pennies.

I LOVE the Upright Citizens Brigade!!! One of the greatest shows of all time!!!!

Replace Snipes with Epic White Beard guy on the $50.
