	Why is Grant on the $50 bill? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

He was a terrible president right? Or is it because of his military accomplishments? But from what I've heard, he really wasn't that great of a general. And of course being a president is not required to be on money- as Franklin is on a bill.

I just hate seeing his face on the bill, that's all

Perhaps we should change it to something else.

recommendations?

He was an excellent drunk, if that improves your opinion of him at all.

Grant was one of the greatest generals ever to exist. He did make a few tactical errors but it was cunning strategy that caused Lee's defeat. But never was he a great president.

I remember reading about Grant's Civil War accomplishments. It appears he was drunk at several key battles but never the less one them because he kept ordering his troops to attack when a sobber general would have retreated to regroup.

Anyway, Grant is certainly an important person in US history. Hamilton and Franklyn are on money, and neither of them were presidents.

if the criteria is historical importance, I think FDR should replace Grant. Lincoln already represents that part of US history.

He wasn't so bad. He held the country together at a time when it could have easily fallen back into Civil War.

Woodrow Wilson was on the 100,000 bill - Series 1934 US Gold Certificates, which were authorized only for use between the Treasury and the Federal Reserve.

The large denomination bills for general circulation which went out of issue in the 1930s had the following people on them:

500 - William McKinley
1,000 - Grover Cleveland
5,000 - James Madison
10,000 - Salmon P. Chase

X post - but Chase wasn't on the bill because of his position on SCOTUS. He was ol' Abe's first Treasury Secretary, and between his signing off all those permits to trade with the enemy for generous patrons and buddies, he was responsible for moving the US to a standard paper currency system, as well as setting regular treasury bonds and a bond marketing system (again dominated by political patrons and robber barons, but you can't have everything. )

They should get rid on the penny, IF (huge IF) Reagan ever gets on money, put him on the dime (at most), if they get rid of grant, replace him with FDR, and move Kennedy of our money, freeing up the fifty cent piece.
