It is possible he will consider it a waste of money to pursue a politically correct agenda. Trump may argue that the USA should be favoring the $50 bill more anyway, as the $20 no longer has enough value to be circulating in the quantities it has been. I don't think the culture in USA and Canada will ever change to the point that $50s outnumber $20s like they do in EU or Australia. Right now, in the USA, the $50 is the second least favorite banknote, behind the $2. Twenties outnumbers fifties 8.1 to 1 in Britain (UK) 20 GBP =34.21 AUD 5.4 to 1 in USA 3.9 to 1 in Canada 1.7 to 1 in Switzerland Fifties outnumbers twenties 2.4 to 1 in European Union 3.9 to 1 in Australia Ratios are as of end of 2015. The 50 pound note has not been scheduled to be replaced with a polymer version in Britain. Pundits are speculating that the UK may simply discontinue the denomination bowing to winds of political pressure. I am sure that decision will partly depend on the exchange rate in five years as 20 GBP ~ USD$25 and 50 GBP ~ USD$63. |

But Mexico has used as much cultural as political figures, especially by removing Ignacio Zaragoza from the 500. $20 Benito Juárez $50 José María Morelos y Pavón $100 Nezahualcóyotl $200 Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz $500 Diego Rivera & Frida Kahlo $1000 Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla I don't know how many leaders of the war of independence that most Mexicans can name besides José María Morelos and Miguel Hidalgo. Most Americans only know George Washington of the Revolutionary War.

You mean there were others?? I wonder how many Mexicans can name Mexico's first president (No, it wasn't Benito Juarez; and no, Mexico's independence is not on May 5th).
Well, if you are talking about military officers, I reckon that's true. But if you add politicians, intellectuals and other influential figures, I suppose many Americans would know the names Franklin, Jefferson, Addams (all of them), etc. Also among the military men, I guess some would know who Lafayette was. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

DJT is a big fan of President Jackson and has been heaping praises on him since January. He has suggest that Tubman might be better used to replace Jefferson on the $2 banknote. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | Paper money, I only see it and use it in the casino. It would never occur to me to buy anything with it. I love looking at my debit card statement and seeing where every penny I spent went to. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

If you look at coins you can see how inefficient the system of our coins is. Over 300 billion zinc pennies since 1982 to be thrown in trash. The nickel is very costly because of the price of nickel. The 50 cent piece and the dollar coin are never used. Basically it is dimes and quarters that are worthwhile, But if you look at the number of banknotes produced for the 2009 series (2009A series for $100) 9,017,600,000 : $1 ~ 134,400,000 : $2 1,203,200,000 : $5 1,465,600,000 : $10 4,217,600,000 : $20 ~ 665,600,000 : $50 7,190,400,000 : $100 Nine billion $1 banknotes, that simply wear out and have to be collected, sorted, and replaced at great expense. One hundred million $2 banknotes that end up in drawers. A pathological love of the $20 when inflation means we should have upgraded many of our ATMs to $50 banknotes decades ago. We are producing a ridiculous number of $100 banknotes, and facing huge production problems as we try to develop a note which is both cheap to produce and extremely difficult to counterfeit. |
