Which historical figure should our current president, Barack Hussein Obama, replace when we honor his legacy by putting him on an item of currency?

That Obama is the United States' most admirable, accomplished modern president is a widely acknowledged fact, of course, but it seems possible that controversy might develop if he replaces another equally beloved figure. Here's who's currently on our coins and bills:

Penny: Abraham Lincoln
Nickel: Thomas Jefferson
Dime: FDR
Quarter: George Washington
Half-dollar: JFK
Dollar: George Washington
$2 bill: Thomas Jefferson
$5: Lincoln
$10: Hamilton
$20: Tubman replacing Jackson
$50: Ulysses S. Grant
$100: Benjamin Franklin

The most obvious candidates for replacement would seem to be Grant and JFK...

Ahem! Did I say founders? Anywhere? Try looking here through my post for that: "Or our famous President Benjamin Franklin. Oh, wait, he was never President. "

Also, was Lincoln a 'founder'? ($5 bill) Andrew Jackson? ($20 bill) U.S. Grant? ($50 bill) William McKinley? ($500 bill) Grover Cleveland? ($1000 bill) And interestingly, Samuel P Chase (who was neither a president nor 'founder') is on the $10,000 bill.

Of course you are correct and accurate, and almost clever in your misdirection.
Of course I should have pointed out that our schoolchildren will easily recall the Founders of our country like Franklin, Hamilton, and Tubman.

It was amazing how much thought and logic she input to the Founding of our country and it's documents prior to Washington's first day in office, 1789.
OH WAIT!!! Tubman lived from 1822-1913, so your claims that she fits in the group of Founders found on U.S. Banknotes is really just a lie.
Others pictured on U.S. paper currency include fiscal conservative Kennedy, emancipator Lincoln, Grant, McKinley, Cleveland, Wilson, Chase. If you were capable of opening a book, you could find that other than Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase, these others were Presidents. Both Hamilton and Chase were Treasury Secretaries (Treasury prints the paper currency). Tubman was not Secretary of the U.S. Treasury.
Franklin lived 1705-1790, passing shortly after Washington took office.
Hamilton lived 1755-1804, passing during the third Presidency.

At the time of Chase's printing, only 16 Presidents were available for selection.
At this time, 43 Presidents are available for selection, not including Tubman, and any one of them far better than the current occupant.

Your revisionist history has fallen flat.
For the first time, our paper currency includes Founders, Presidents, Treasury Secretaries, and now None Of The Above.
