Forget the fact that Obama is on the $1 bill, there shouldn't even BE a $1 bill. What were they thinking? Any bills under $5 should be replaced with coins.
Other than that I'm fine with everything else. Color coded money is a great idea, if for no other reason than I can organize the bills in my wallet to look like a rainbow. But being able to tell what denomination it is at a glance is also helpful.
I'm astonished they're actually considering putting him on one at all.
It's not really unprecedented, it's actually really common. Many countries put their current leaders on the bills, and it'd be cool if they issued a new bill every 4 or 8 years. They'd be really collectible and by the time the bills started to wear out there'd be a new president in office and a new set of bills coming out. I see a lot of people freaking out over nothing, it's not like anybody's suggesting we carve his face into Mt. Rushmore. It's a dollar, it's the stufftiest bill you could possibly have. Wouldn't that be poetic justice for all the people who don't like Obama? Seriously lighten up guys, our government is run by terrorists and gay sympathizers and you're worried about the color of our money.
Id like the format however dispite my support for Obama, I would not want to see him on our money. He hasn't actually done anything yet.
One might even say that he wasn't
noteworthy.
