Abolishing the $1 bill would probably result in increased production of $5's and
$10's. Maybe even two's. I doubt Crane will go belly-up.

My thoughts, exactly.

For the strippers, throw 'em at least a deuce, NOW! After all, they have to
make a living, too. You'll stand out from the cheapskates. Of course, a fiver
would really get you noticed.

Getting rid of the FBI-RD would mean more deuces. I don't believe there would
be a greater need for $5 and $10 notes. And, with all of the Kennedy political
power in MA, Crane won't go down. If anything, he'll get some legislation
passed where the entire nation would end up paying Crane a subsidy to help
off-set their "loss." That, or Crane would get a huge tax break at our
expense.

Presidental $1 coins? Ick. First ladies? EWW! Let's go back to Liberty, and
add other alligorical figures, like Freedom and Justice. They're supposed to
be more representative of America than dead Presidents and First Ladies anyway.

Is there a figure called "Common Sense?"
