Only as part of a complete redesign of the coinage that removes all presidents and politicians.  Given the small size of the coin, I'd favor a design for the dime that had the Liberty Bell on the obverse and a ring of 13 stars on the reverse surrounding the denomination.

Removing them was more humane then allowing them to continually get in conflict with Europeans.

By that standard, it would be more humane to remove the Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza than allowing then to continually get in conflict with Israelis.

Altho, if Jackson is to be on any denomination, the $20 bill is the one he should be on, as one of the stands he took during the Bank War was that there should be no bill smaller than a $20 bill.  At the time, the highest value coin minted by the U.S. was the gold Eagle with a face value of $10. In other words, he was against the use of paper money when specie coins could in theory do the job.

Adjusting for inflation, his position is that there should be no bill smaller than a $500 bill.

Actually, a $1000 bill if one uses the value of gold as a guide, but we don't have specie currency anymore.
