Reagan. He should be standing on a mountain peak slaying commies with a sword.

FDR is in the top echelon of Presidents this country has had. Knocking him off for someone like Reagan is as great a dishonor as it would be if they tried to bump Washington off the One dollar bill or Quarter.

FDR should remain on the dime permanently.

Actually, the father of the workfare state, But also the father of the "Get our asses out of a recession and defend the world from fascism"

While Reagan was the "My staffers all went to jail for felonies while I schlupped around in a alzheimer haze" president and the "I can't believe I utterly destroyed our nations financial security so quickly" President.

It would be nice to honor Reagan in some way - Of course there is already a carrier bearing his name. It is a shame that a man who contributed so much is having to leave this world in the condition he is currently in. I am older than most who post on this board - not anywhere close to being ready to die but - I really think I would much rather be dead than end up in a state of just existing. Life has to have quality to be considered "life". History will be kind to Ronald Reagan - he accomplished much under his watch.

Maybe they could put him on the dollar coin, instead of politically correct women.

The last time I saw a dollar coin was in a casino about 5 years ago but I'd find them and use them if it were Reagan :P

Honestly, Reagan was such a die-hard FDR lover that it would almost be an insult to Reagan to replace FDR.

Americans won't accept the idea of a dollar coin. They still consider a dollar too valuable to be as easily lost as coins are. You could put a picture of Jesus on the thing and it would get left in drawers. Also, all the religious communities would go insane. So maybe not a great idea.

I think that removing FDR from the dime would be an insult. He led our country through a fight against Fascism just like Reagan fought Communism. The carrier and the airport are big honors. Plus, he's not dead yet
