Ronald W. Reagan Money $10.00/20.00

WASHINGTON - Ronald Reagan's enthusiastic supporters say the late president deserves a place on the nation's currency, even if it means a lesser or disappearing role for Franklin D. Roosevelt, Alexander Hamilton or Andrew Jackson.

Getting their hero's face on the dime may be easier than other goals, such as seeing it etched on Mount Rushmore, but that idea still will be resisted by Democrats defending their own icon, FDR.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., a speechwriter in the Reagan White House, plans to introduce a bill to put Reagan on the $20 bill, replacing another venerable Democrat, Andrew Jackson.

That would join a previous proposal, by Rep. Mark Souder, R-Ind., to provide for dimes bearing the likeness of Reagan.

The office of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he would pursue an idea he has pushed for several years, placing Reagan on the $10 bill now bearing the visage of Hamilton, the first Treasury secretary.

Chris Butler of the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, which has the goal of seeing a Reagan commemoration in every American county, said its top legislative priority is the $10 bill. He noted that money can be changed administratively without congressional action, and suggested that Reagan dimes could join, rather than replace, FDR dimes.

The Treasury secretary can change the design of coins, usually after consulting Congress, but spokeswoman Anne Womack Kolton said, "We believe it is premature at this point to discuss any possible changes to the currency."

Replacing FDR would not happen without a battle. Last November, on the same day Souder introduced his Reagan dime bill "in honor of his work in restoring American greatness and bringing freedom to captive nations around the world," Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., proposed a resolution affirming support of the FDR dime. More than half the House Democrats joined him as co-sponsors.

Reagan's wife Nancy has also voiced opposition to the new dime. Souder last December praised the "humble nature" of Mrs. Reagan's comments but said he would continue to promote his bill, which has the support of GOP leaders, including House Speaker Dennis Hastert and Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

Butler, whose group is a wing of the conservative Americans for Tax Reform, pointed out that coins bearing the likeness of FDR, John F. Kennedy and Lincoln all appeared within a year of their deaths. The Roosevelt dime came out in 1946, in part commemorating his support for the March of Dimes campaign to fight polio.

Besides paper and metal, Reagan advocates have long pushed to see their champion honored more widely in stone. Butler said there are now some 54 highways, schools, post offices and other memorials to Reagan around the country, but that still pales in comparison with the more than 600 for Kennedy and more than 800 for Martin Luther King.

Up to now, the biggest victories have been the renaming of Washington's National Airport after the 40th president and the opening in Washington of the Ronald Reagan Building, the second largest government office building after the Pentagon. Last year the nuclear aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan was commissioned.

Still in the works is the idea of a monument to Reagan on the National Mall in Washington, deterred by a law - signed by Reagan - that bars new monuments until a person has been dead 25 years.

Then there is Mount Rushmore.

It will take a long time to study the geophysical and artistic feasibility of that project, Butler said. But "is he great enough to be on Mount Rushmore? Yes."

I like the idea of him on on a $10 dollar bill because Alexander Hamilton is very outdated. Reagan was a great president that many more people can identify with these days. $10 bill is very common, and it would be great to see him on there. As for the $100 dollar bill, Ben Franklin is perfect for it. And we can't change the 100 because it has recently been changed. And you couldn't call $100's Benjamin's anymore!

Haha. Yes, I am waiting for the day the whole world has the same currency. Everything in the world would be so much simpler. Travel, transportation, even buying food would be easy. Toobad everyone in the world doesn't speak english though

neato bit of info there chief...maybe they should make a new bill for ole ron like a 6 dollar bill lmao

[Lakie]

a global currency might not be too far off, the USA will need to try to do something to combat the Euro, so it might have to combine with a lot of other countries. Asia would probably do the same so we could end up with only 3 currencies...

basic you find some place to host them up ether a image service host some cost and some are free or host them at your owne site like it do.

many site block it from being use as in leeching it to another site. geocity and yahoo are some that do block it, then there site if you run over the bandwith they close the site down for a given amount of time and let it backup, in this case this is me using "domaindlx.com they let you use 100mb of their server to host your site and it is limited bandwith for free host many sites do this. for me its working ok.

as using images in the forum that something i can show you how or at lease what you need to use:

semple way:
1.) only image:

scrip:
[*img]http://www.dfhq.net/pub/sigs/1079_1086897360.gif[*/img]
link to image only [*img] url link to image address__.jpg or .gif[*/img]

2.) Image link to another site: (click-on image)


scrip:
[*URL=http://www.cnet.com][*img]http*://www.dfhq.net/pub/sigs/1079_1086897360.gif[*/img][*/URL]

[*URL=http:url address to link to another site or image][*img]http*: url address to image address here .jpg or .gif[*/img][*/URL]
