In France they used to put poets, playwrights, and philosophers on the paper money. Didn't preserve the value any better than presidents, but was more interesting to look at. On the whole, I would just as soon look at Ulysses S. Grant as Walt Whitman. EDIT: Hey we forgot that Franklin is on the $100. Some people are now calling them "Benjamins."

GST, I think a better idea is to put photos of (in)famous central bankers and financiers. I envision the John Law hundred and the new $5000 Bernanke. As expected, the bulls are buying. I'm tired of it. I wonder when the bulls will get tired? GT TH

debt free. yes. it is novel in the sense that the bankers (who benefit from the debt) have convinced people like you to love paying interest on the money supply. btw, it doesn't have to be paper, but it could be. it isn't what backs your money, it is who controls its quantity. as per the constitution, the lower house of congress would control the issuance of money and credit and the american people could vote out, every 2 years, anyone who was irresponsible creating too much money. right now, you have no power. $23.7 trillion to criminal bankers? yup. what can you do? nothing but eat the losses. and guess what, you get to pay these same bankers interest on the money they stole from you. and. you. love. it. being robbed, powerless to do anything and then charged interest by the thieves on the money they stole. and you defend their system and mock much better options that eliminate the criminals. the propaganda isn't really that good, people seem to have a mental fog that blinds them. it is bizarre.
