You realize America has already HAD currency with nude females on it? Check out the amazing “educational series” currency from the 19th century.

At the rate that the Federal reserve is throwing the currency "under the bus" I am looking forward to female nudes being featured on the currency. Perhaps Elliot Spitzer's girl, Kristen, could grace the $1000 bill and Scarlet Johanson could appear on the new $5,000- this might slow down the velocity of money and prevent hyperinflation!.

But unfortunately, the U.S. public sees differently. Except for use as tokens to ride the T into Boston, I hardly ever see dollar coins anywhere.

Me, I only have Silver and Gold eagles so far... need to hunt down some old 90% coins one of these days. As for bills, meh. I rarely have more than a handful of bills at a time... any large purchases are made with a credit card. They could make the $5 bills purple and pink for all it matters to me. 90% silver coins are a great way to build up a silver collection.
