Should the coins and dollars be changed to more recent presidents? Do you think it's about time to update our currency to the modern times? To represent someone different for a change rather than the same faces that have been on each quarter, dime and nickel? Or should we keep them the same as a representation of the past? What do you think?

I really couldn't care less. Money is money no matter who's on it.

in that case, they should put some pop star on the twenty.
anyways; just because they're dead doesn't mean they weren't presidents. the coins/dollars should remain. |

If we reprinted 1 dollar bills with George Bush on them, it would truly be, "All About the Benjamins." |

The representations of the present could be representations of the past to the future (that makes sense?). The faces have been the same for a long time and people have taken their messages for granted now. If there was a change, do you think people will respect the new faces? Being the president of an important and difficult position. If you want to honor someone that has worked so hard to keep the country together, what better way to do this than put it on something that someone sees every day? And values? Do you think it's about time we should let some rather ignored presidents get their share of time on the US currency?
Do you even care? o_O; |

if we changed the faces on the cins or bills; i think somene might get confused and think its worth otherwise. And they have been updating the coins and bills; jsut not the faces. Maybe the goverment is laready on planning on doing so just not yet. They have been changing the looks of the 20's and 50's and some of the coins.

saying "well, maybe my freind mr. kenedy can change your mind" just doesn't have the ring of 'mr. jackson' or 'mr. benjamin'
for this reason, no faces should change. |

Whatever the case, as long as we can prolong inflation until the next fiscal year, I'm coo with it. |

of course not. the presidents on our money are the most IMPORTANT and well-known ones from history ... they should always be on the coins and dollars no matter what.

i would said .. coins w/ old faces would be better than the new faces because they are recent people who hate recent president. Why would recent people hate very very old president like .. George washington ? i cant explain but if you think about it . its common sense. there will be more conflicts to the president faces . its better to leave the old face alone.
