    Doesn't Obama deserve this honor?

    During the campaign he warned us that he didn't look like the guys on the bills. This would solve that.

    Paper money is irrelevant for 99.95% of legal interactions.

    They could get rid of 100's and 50's and the only people who would care are criminals and wannabes. I haven't used anything above a 20 in years.
