America already got rid of a coin which was called the half cent. It was discontinued in 1792 - 1857 for being worth to little. But when the half cent lost its fate it had more buying power than today 's dime. Everyone one loves the Abraham Lincoln and some people are afraid because they don 't want to erase him from history. John Green, a well known NY times author proclaims, “If Abraham Lincoln were alive today, he would say ‘why is my face on a coin that is worth 1/26 of what a penny was worth when i was president?’” Lincoln and his monument would still be on today 's $5 bill.

This shows how people can hold onto the smallest things for the dumbest reasons. Another thing stated in the text was,”Still, for many people, the penny's sentimental value remains the same.” Even though the penny may have some sentimental value the government is losing a ton of money minting new pennies because they cost more than they have in value.

Does Andrew Jackson Deserve to be on the 20-dollar bill? In my belief Andrew Jackson does not belong on the 20-dollar bill, due to the simple fact of that in 1836 Andrew Jackson tried over throwing the U.S national bank because he believed that hard currency like gold and sliver should be used.

In the speech Abraham starts off by saying “ Four score and seven years ago” which is significant because that was when the Declaration of Independence was signed and when the colonies gained their freedom fromGreat Britain. He then goes on to say that the founding fathers bulit the nation on liberty and equality for all men, but years later they are fighting to see if its true.

The Constitution says that it is authorized to collect taxes, pay debts and borrow money and Hamilton thought that a national bank would help out the government efficiently and strengthen its power. As a result of this, Hamilton had asked Congress to establish a national banking system, and it was later on that it was proposed because Congress was entitled to carry out the order. “...it was the springboard for a future U.S. economy based on private capital and the creative use of various forms of bank credit, including government debt” (minneapolisfed.org). On the contrary, Jefferson argued that the Constitution reserved all other powers to states and that Hamilton could not have a national bank because the federal government was not empowered to do so.
