I finally figured out what note to put Ronald Reagan on
Grover Norquist has been trying to put Ronald Reagan's face on a piece of US Currency for years. I finally figured out which one.

Stick Ronnie on the $1 million T-bill--yes, there is a $1 million T-bill.

Only an instrument which represents Debt should ever have Reagan's face on it.

1. I've been calling bounced checks "Reagans" since the 80s
Guess whose name will be an eponym for foreclosures/evictions....

3. How About On The $3 Bill
He was as phony as one...

Reminds me of the movement to get a Richard Nixon postage stamp...that idea died when they found out too many people would spit on the non-stickum side.

:rofl:

4. There was a Nixon stamp
I bought a shitload of those when they came out. I reserved them for bills.

6. From Investopedia...
T-bills are usually issued in denominations of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 and $1 million.

Ronnie can't go on a Federal Reserve Note. He's got to be on a debt instrument, for obvious reasons.
