That's an idea I really like!

I like it, but I'm not sure how it would play out. 'Hey, fellas - awfully sorry about the genocide, ethnic cleansing and forced relocation, but here's your picture on a dollar. All better now?'

We have on one coin.... Read my last post above...
" We did have Sacagawea on a coin minted for a few years. Don't know if they still mint them."
Now if you mean paper money, I'd be up for that too.

Yeah, more needs to be done. But hey, it's a start, right? It's obviously not my country but more natives in government would probably be a good idea.

Not my country either, but I agree completely. This is we have special Maori electorates here (although the Maori didn't get tromped nearly as badly as Native Americans).

An aside:
The congress will NEVER EVER eliminate paper currency in favor of electronic.
If there was an electronic trace of every transaction, there would always be a chance of risk of discovery that does not exist when one is simply given a briefcase full of cash.
And don't say Bitcoin, it's corrupt or corruptible, and/or hacked or hackable. Just give 'em that cold hard cash and get outta here.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
