Reaganomics Revisited: Change the Currency?
Ronald Reagan may be missed, but the idea of honoring him on currently occupied currency doesn't add up for most Americans.
By 54 to 36 percent, most people oppose replacing Alexander Hamilton's portrait on the $10 bill with Reagan's. And 59 percent oppose another proposal, ousting Franklin D. Roosevelt from the dime to make way for Reagan.
The sawbuck switch is favored by the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, whose president, Grover Norquist, notes that Hamilton, a founding father and the first Treasury secretary, has held the spot since 1928, and wasn't a president to boot. Sen. Mitch McConnell, RKY, the majority whip, has said he'll lead the charge for the change.
