3. If they put Reagan on the dime,
who will join me in refusing to accept dimes in change, because they have the picture of a criminal on them?

BOYCOTT THE REAGAN DIME!!

12. you know, that is probably why they dropped the $10 bill idea
for his ugly mug. Too easily defaced as if his face wouldn't be defacement enough.

18. It's a kick in the face, too,
because of FDR's support for the March of Dimes. The dime has always been very poignant to me, with its image of a President stricken by polio, promoting a program to help his fellow sufferers.

17. Couldn't we have a negative value coin?
Maybe the Reagan Deficit Dollar, in honor of all the good work he did.

19. The Republican argument for a Reagan Dime is really fascinating.
They claim that FDR is a remnant of the past, and that someone more recent (Reagan) should take his place.

Lessee here:

Penny - Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), President, 1861-1865.
Nickel - Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), President, 1801-1809.
Dime - Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), President, 1933-1945.
Quarter - George Washington (1732-1799), President, 1789-1797.
Half Dollar - John F. Kennedy (1917-1963), President, 1961-1963.
One Dollar - See Quarter
Two Dollars - See Nickel
Five Dollars - See Penny
Ten Dollars - Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804), First Secretary of the Treasury.
Twenty Dollars - Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), President, 1829-1837.
Fifty Dollars - Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885), President, 1869-1877.
One Hundred Dollars - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

So let's rank these people in terms of date of death:
1. Benjamin Franklin (1790)
2. George Washington (1799)
3. Alexander Hamilton (1804)
4. Thomas Jefferson (1826)
5. Andrew Jackson (1845)
6. Abraham Lincoln (1865)
7. Ulysses S. Grant (1885)
8. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1945)
9. John F. Kennedy (1963)

And think about it, how many half-dollars do you see in regular circulation? In terms of coins that are in regular circulation, FDR is far more recent than any other person on a coin.

You know what? I wouldn't mind Reagan being on the dime... if FDR were put on the fifty dollar bill. Great general though he was, Grant was a piss-poor President. And FDR should be (and is) worth five hundred times more than Reagan.
