I'd spend it.

Money

I love the designs, and the Bill of rights on the back, but where's the Second Amendment? Can we reintroduce the $500 bill and use that on the back? Put Alexander Hamilton on the bill for ironic purposes.

I'm holding out for one and two dollar coins. Canada totally corrupted me on this.

Edit The first and second amendments are on the $5. I still think the Second Amendment deserves it's own bill.

There is the slight matter of Lee being a traitor who rose up in armed rebellion while Grant was a President.

People sort of remember those things, and winners get their pictures on the money.

Lee wasn't a traitor, he was a Virginian! He rose up in armed defense of his state when it seceded from the Union. That meant something different before the war than after.

Besides, I'm partial to the name.
