Question:
http://www.dailynews.com/Stories/0,1413,200~20954~1802912,00.html

The above article is about a proposal to change the dime. The idea is to remove the face of Franklin D. Roosevelt and to replace it with Ronald Reagan.

Is it time to change the dime? Would it be appropriate to put Ronald Reagan on the dime? Or if FDR is to be replaced, should it be someone else other than Ronald Reagan?

Choices:
Leave the dime alone. FDR is fine.
Put Ronald Reagan on the dime
Put someone else on the dime
I don't care

I don't see a need to change the presidents on the coins we use.

Leave the freaking dime alone. I'm sure a lot of unnecessary money would be spent to change it.

Leave it be. My grandparents would roll over in their graves to hear me say this, but I think Roosevelt, in some small way, should still be honored and remembered.

Although the pictures on coins change from time to time, the tradition is for only deceased people to be pictured on US money. I'm pretty sure (though not completely sure) that no living person has ever been on US coins. If Reagan deserves to eventually be on a coin, it should not be until he has passed away (although, given the way that all the people quoted in support of the bill speak in the past tense (e.g. "was a great american"), perhaps they think he has already died)
