Not that this would affect anybody on here seeing as this site is full of poor people who will never see a $50 bill.
Congressman Wants Money REDRAWN
A congressman is looking to change the face of the $50 bill – literally.
Rep. Patrick McHenry, a Republican from North Carolina, wants to give Ulysses S. Grant the boot and replace his visage with former President Ronald Reagan.
"Every generation needs its own heroes," McHenry said in a statement.
"One decade into the 21st century, it's time to honor the last great president of the 20th and give President Reagan a place beside Presidents Roosevelt and Kennedy."
McHenry has enlisted the support of 13 other Republicans in a bill that would have the U.S. Treasury change the bill, removing the Civil War general and 18th President of the United States from the currency.
"President Reagan was a modern-day statesman," he said, "whose presidency transformed our nation's political and economic thinking."
This isn't the first time a lawmaker has moved to get Reagan's face on American money. Efforts to have the 40th President of the United States on the $20 bill and the dime both drew criticism and failed.
