Let's stipulate that fiat currency is a bad thing. Let's stipulate that it doesn't matter whose picture is on the money. That being said...
why are we getting rid of Hamilton? A quick bio from National Review:
"Hamilton was a poor kid from the West Indies who immigrated to New York, joined the patriot army at age 17 or 18 and organized an artillery company, became an aide to General George Washington, authored more than half of the Federalist Papers, and served as first Treasury Secretary of the United States where he structured the finances of our infant republic so that we didn’t drown in debt. He was also a fierce opponent of slavery."
How about getting rid of Andrew Jackson, who supported slavery and pushed for and signed the Indian Removal Act which led to the forced relocation of the Cherokee and Choctaw tribes (Trail of Tears, anyone)? Jackson would be a much better candidate for removal.
