FDR on any currency is valid since he did more to destroy the value of the dollar than anyone else.

Over time, this may become a more desirable mode of currency. Inflation will eventually render the dollar bill as insignificant as the quarter currently is.Pubic wrote:
Just curious, in the US has there ever been much talk of dropping the dollar bill in favour of a dollar coin?
In all honesty, Australia has an excellent plastic material they use for their "paper" currency that seems to be very durable. It's much more useful than the cloth-like material we use. We should convert to using that material.

I think we've come full circle though, so we may switch back to something like a Gold Standard eventually.
