What US currency president would you change?

[Conserative Morality]

I'd swap out Andrew Jackson for Thomas Paine on the $20.

I second this motion.

[Peddieville]

*Ahem*

Andrew Jackson invented the bear at age 12. During the War of 1812 he personally swam across the Atlantic ocean and punched King George in the face, made the British promise to stop putting people on the rack, freed all the prisoners in the Tower of London and swam back to the US because there weren't enough Indians to kill in the UK.
After that he single-handedly won the Battle of New Orleans by shouting at the British soldiers so hard they fainted. He then built the Washington Monument as a 1:1 scale replica of his own penis.
He also drove the British out of Washington DC, but he was so hotblooded that it set the place on fire.
He is also the reason the US didn't take over Canada. He found out that there were more Indians westwards and decided to go that way instead.

I love the lore surrounding Jackson. Few people truly understand him.

[OMGeverynameistaken]

Jackson, what did he ever do to deserve the most useful bill ever? Killed Indians, defied the SC, and was a corrupt thug.
Truman 4 $20!

so I guess the only thing you would change is "In God We Trust" to "In Jackson We Trust"?

Andrew Jackson doesn't mind the use of synonyms. He doesn't care what we call him, so long as we fear and respect him.

Seriously, I propose that we change the $100 bill to the name of a president/revolutionary/miscellaneous public figure whose name one can barely pronounce.

Daniel Roberdeau, him

How about Tecumseh? Would that work?

[Peddieville]

I second this motion.

Agreed. Thomas Paine never gets enough respect.

[Peddieville]

Try "Co-ordinated attacks and the Invasion on a massive scale" And "Outmaneuver your enemy if you can't bring your entire numerical advantage to bear." And don't forget "Fight fire with fire."

I agree that he didn't mess around with the Confederacy, just that he did not do anything particularly exceptional.

[Conserative Morality]

I agree that he didn't mess around with the Confederacy, just that he did not do anything particularly exceptional.

Can I say this again?

He managed to outwit and defeat General ROBERT LEE! Even with the advantages he had, that was quite the accomplishment.

Definitely. You get my reasoning behind the proposal, right?

By the time Grant met Lee, Lee was fighting with a lot less resources. Not that it's part of this topic, but do you think Grant was a better general than Lee?

Yes, but my vote would be on the $20

[Tunizcha]

Change the US to Obamia and replace his face on all the currency, just a different angle for each one.

Better? No, I merely think that being able to beat Lee at all, even in the state Lee's Army was in, was an accomplishment in itself. Meaning I think he was a pretty damn good general, not that I think that he's better than Lee.

Nope. $100.

My reasoning is that, well, 'Gangstas'. I have to put up with the 'rhythmic' use of the word "Benjamin" Every. Fucking. Day. (In relation to $100 - Money - I'm trying to make myself look so goddamn rich).

Whereas, replace "Banjamin" with "Tecumseh", and it would be much more entertaining.

[Tekania]

I think we should take Jackson off of the $20, and replace him with Carnac the Magnificent...

[Peddieville]

He managed to outwit and defeat General ROBERT LEE! Even with the advantages he had, that was quite the accomplishment.

He did not outwit Lee, just outnumber him. By the time Grant took over, the Confederacy was nearly bled dry. And while defeating Lee is quite an acomplishment, this did not come at a time when Lee was at full strength. Some of his best subordinate commanders were dead, such as "Stonewall" Jackson, and others, such as Stuart and Longstreet, were losing their effectiveness. Lee himself said that the South could not win a long, protracted war.

[Tsa-la-gi Nation]

OK this is JUST a joke! But if we did that, we could change "in god we trust" to "Don't Trust Whitey" I couldn't resist... sorry, just having fun!

You do realize that every General before Grant also outnumbered Lee, right?

[Peddieville]

Lee was a spectacular tacticion, but some of his stratigic moves, particularly his two invations of the North, were questionable.

I like the idea of Paine bills, however I rather liked Jackson, he was a complete badass. I'd like to see him resurected and have a fist fight between him and Putin.

Change the US to Obamia and replace his face on all the currency, just a different angle for each one.

reminds me of Thailand. Every bill and coin has the King's face on it.

[Peddieville]

And they were all spectacularly bad generals.

[Conserative Morality]

And they were all spectacularly bad generals.

Eh, no, not spectacularly bad. Sub-par, maybe. But not spectacularly bad.

[Island sodor]

The $500 to JFK, because he is one of America's greatest presidents.

[Grays Harbor]

Ugh, all of them. They've made American currency so freakin' ugly now it's not even funny. They should bring back the classic bills. I really couldn't care less which president (or Founding Father) is on which bill.

Now that is a stellar idea. These, for example, are some of my favorites.

I agree. Lee had most of the country's best millitary leadership around him, even if he was outnumbered.
