There have been proposals to take FDRs pic off the dime and put Reagans on.

I bet we will hear more about this now that Reagan has went to his reward.

But maybe they should wait until Social Security is finally privatized before they do that.

1. They wouldn't dare!
The dime has FDR for a REASON. The March of Dimes, which he founded. There is NO REASON to put Reagan on it. His goal was to march the dimes right to himself and his friends, like a good Republican.

10. Hey! I'm "old enough" to remember the March of Dimes...
and I'm just a slip of a boy. We used to get little cards in school to fill up with dimes to send in to help children with polio, and a good thing it was, too.

5. How about an anti-dime? minus 10 cents. Like what he did to our country.

16. Same here
I'll be insisting on ten pennies or two nickels any time a dime is offered, and I won't hesitate to explain my "quirk" about not accepting dimes. The Reagan dime will not be legal tender in my household.
