This is a REALLY cool idea! They should also do this for the founding fathers (material permitting). I think a lot of America needs to be reminded of the ideals of those people.
Funny ... when I offer up tweets from my personal diary, nobody seems to care. But when John Quincy Adams does it, it's like a big effing deal for some reason.

Which is really ironic, since he despised central banking.Being on a Federal Reserve Note is actually a giant insult to him.
