    He put “in god we trust” on the money.

    That’s why he’s on a bill.

    Granted it’s the 10k note and there’s kind of an inverse relationship with value of note to respect of person.

    Which is why Washington is on the 1 dollar note and Hamilton is on the 10.

      Thats not even a good thing though. And why not put other historical figures on money? Would it be so objectionable to out MLK Jr or General Sherman on money?

        They only reason Tubmam isn’t on the $10 bill right now is because of the musical changing the fact no one gave a shit about Alexander Hamilton and didn’t care he was or wasn’t on money to him suddenly being a massively well known founding father with several massive showtunes explaining his life.

        The plan was seriously already in place and nearly happened before the musical.
