No. Leave our money alone. They will sneak "In God We Trust" off of it.

Well heck then, let's put Reagan on the billion dollar bill; and put Obama on the trillion dollar bill. Perspective served.

Put Obama's likeness on the Joker in every deck of cards.

Blogbudsman,
Good point. Except it would be bush on the trillion. Who knows where we will be when Obama is done. What comes after trillion?
But that does bring up an interesting point. To help introduse new funds, what if the US government officialy licensed the president?
Easy tie in products:
Obama: Oreo Cookie
Younger Bush: Hooked on Phonics
Clinton: Trojan Condoms
Older Bush: Birds Eye Broccoli
Reagan: Of Course Jelly Bellies, also credit cards
Grant: Jack Danials
Others?

no change needed.
Especially to put the President who popularized deficit spending on a bill.

Alan Greenspan belongs on the fifty, and Ben Bernanke on the twenty. Then ask the Treasury to add 4 zeroes behind each denomination so that we don't have to carry so many worthless FRN's.

I traded two Barney Frank bills for a sex dollar bill with Clinton's picture on it.

Lumpy, I remember when we had larger denomination Federal Reserve Notes. I bought my first used car (1953 Chevy) in the 1960's with a $500.00 bill.
