Supposed the US started issuing new bills
Like a $75, $500, and $750 bills or something like that. Who would you like to see on them. Personally, I would want Herbert Hoover, Jack Ruby, and Richard Nixon. Thoughts?
Theodore Roosevelt should be on a bill.

Hoover did some good things before the depression. Jack Ruby, killed a guy who might have killed the president. Nixon....I....I just don't know...

$750 - Ronald Reagan
Dunno for the other two.
Homer Simpson, Saddam Hussein and Audrey Hepburn.
The war-time Hussein or the post-capture Hussein, cause I couldn't look at that second one...(shudders)
$750 - Ronald Reagan
Dunno for the other two.
Let's put a liar on the bill, why don't we.

This are my three suggestions - no order though.
Franklin D Roosevelt
Jimmy Carter
Bill Clinton
Y'know, Queen Elizabeth II derseves to have her face on an American bill! :D
Oh and if you pick Hussein - you can't leave out Fidel Castro! :p

Roosevelt, Roosevelt, Reagan would be my choices.
Some secondary ones: Wilson, Henry Clay maybe... Dr Martin King Jr.
This are my three suggestions - no order though.
Franklin D Roosevelt
Jimmy Carter
Bill ClintonBest choices so far in my opinion.

Honestly. I dont see why anyone would want to nominate Nixon. The crook deserved to rot in jail. Why not nominate Checkers? Or Ford?
Carter would not be a good choice either. Had a disapproval rating of 73% at his reelection campaign. Not a smart move to choke on pride and nominate him again.

You don't think I'd look good on currency?
Why are so many people recommending Clinton? Surely, you don’t think he deserves it more than Teddy Roosevelt. And hey, what about James K. Polk?He is one of the few politicians in history to fulfill all of his campaign promises.
I'm not an American, but I'd still like to nominate Daniel Webster, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin Roosevelt..
First only dead people are allowed on american money.
Second, they had a 500, 1,000 and I think a 250 bill, but got rid of them after the rise of the atms.

Haha. Bill Clinton. The man who lied under oath (illegal, regardless of the frivolous nature of the investigation), gutted our military and told Sudan he didn't want Bin Laden when they offered to hand him over to us in the late 90s (they had him in custody). Yeah, like I really want that image portrayed on American currency.
I would say Reagan, Teddy Roosevelt and perhaps FDR or MLK.

1. Nah, it isn't illegal to lie under oath. It's illegal to knowingly lie under oath. Clinton did not intentionally lie (hense why he was found 'not guilty')
2. Gutted our military? Mind expanding a bit more? You don't mean standing down the parts not needed, seeing as how I don't think tanks are going to be rolling across western Germany any time soon? You are aware that Bush's Defense budget called for negligable increases in defense spending?
3. Proof of this? You wouldn't be talking about a civilian acting 'on behalf' of a government, which we can't talk to, instead we talked to Sudan proper. We had no case against OBL, and extraditing him to the US most likely would have resulted in an aquittal. He was well watched in Sudan, better then he could have been anywhere else.

You're not going to see them...
$75.00 seems unlikely, given the already present divisions. ($1.00, $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $50.00, $100.00)...
Denominations over $100.00 were discontinued in 1969. Prior to that, there were denominations of $500.00 (William McKinley), $1,000 (Grover Cleveland), $5,000 (James Madison), $10,000 (Salmon P. Chase) and $100,000 (Woodrow Wilson)

Jefferson is out.... He's on the rarely circulated $2.00 bill (as well as on the common $0.05, and uncommon $0.02 nickels.
MLK Jr. is out, because he doesn't match the proper tradition of featuring either a president, or prominent cabinet membet...

Jefferson is already on the $2.
I'd prefer that only Presidents appear on our money, I'd rather see Franklin & Hamilton removed and replaced, preferably by Reagan & John F. Kennedy.
Also, no one alive can be put on money or postage stamps. I believe you have to be dead for at least 10 years.

I don't believe that James Earl Ray actually did it.

1)I believe that John Adams is on the $2.00 bill.
2)Benjamin Franklin appears on the $100 bill, and he was neither president, nor a Cabinet member.

2)Benjamin Franklin appears on the $100 bill, and he was neither president, nor a Cabinet member.
1) Nope, it's been Jefferson since 1869; from 1862-1869 $2 bills had the image of Hamilton. Approximately 0.5% of all US paper currency are $2 bills.
2) Incorrect. Franklin was the first Postmaster General of the US, and served in Washington's Cabinet. The position of Postmaster General was discontinued in 1971.
OK, I said "I believe" for the $2.00 bill. And I'll admit that I'm wrong about Franklin.
