There is talk of putting President Reagan on the fifty dollar bill, do you support the move?

     No, though President Grant shouldn't be on it either. Put someone like Coolidge on there.

I agree they should put Reagan on the fifty, and create a new one like $75 with Coolidge on it.

     Really, they should start printing bills over $100 again. A dollar now is worth much less than it was in 1969, such that someone actually using a larger bill isn't so implausible.

Agreed

Why do you need people on the bills anyway?

Buildings looks just fine as well.

(Note: I don't support the Euro... I just think they look very beautiful)

Ugh.  Imaginary buildings.

Here's what I would put on U.S. currency and coins if I could dictate such things.

Currency
$500: James Madison / Christy's Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States
$200: John Marshall / Supreme Court courtroom
$100: Benjamin Franklin / Trumbull's Declaration of Independence (formerly on the back of the $2 bill)
$50: Henry Clay / U.S. Capitol
$20: John Adams / White House
$10: Alexander Hamilton / Trumbull's Washington Resigning his Commission
$5: Abraham Lincoln / Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech at the Lincoln memorial

Coin ($2 to $¼ to have a bald eagle on the reverse)
$2: [bimetalic ring] Old Faithful
$1: Statue of Liberty (current reverse of the $1 presidential dollar series)
$½: [new 4.05g coin of the same composition as the $1] Golden Gate Bridge
$¼: George Washington
dime: Ring of thirteen stars / Liberty Bell
nickel: [same size, but nickel-plated steel] Indian Head / Buffalo

I agree that John Adams should be one.
