NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Ronald Reagan's face could soon adorn the $10 bill or half the dimes minted in the country, if fans of the late president get their way, according to a published report.


USA Today reported Tuesday that Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., plans to sponsor legislation to have Reagan replace Alexander Hamilton, the nation's first treasury secretary, on the $10 bill.

The proposal has the support of Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, which is headed by Grover Norquist, an influential conservative activist.

The newspaper said Democrats in Congress are not a ready to embrace the idea, though none would come out opposed after Reagan's death Saturday.

The decision about who is on currency is up to the secretary of treasury.

There's something ironic about putting the face of a convicted terrorist supporter on a bill.

Oh well...
