[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2718170, member: 26737"] There's a theory that the consistency of design in US currency was symbolic, on a subconscious level, of its stability. They've monkeyed with the designs to the point that they almost look like the rest of the world's cartoon currencies, but at least they still have some general continuity in design. If they screw with who's in the portraits, they're going to lose a lot of that. Besides, what happens when they decide to replace Ol' Ben with someone more recent? Somehow "it's all about the Benjamins" wouldn't be the same if it became "all about the Slick Willies." [/QUOTE]
