I suppose the current image on the page is technically acceptable under image guidelines, but it kinda bugs me like most other entries (image or text) that seem to be there primarily to go "look at how clever/funny/S-M-R-T smart I am".

I'd like to suggest the following image to replace it.

A portrait that looks fit on a bill is a good one.

Slight upwards move for me (What is the current anyhow?)

I like this, I don't know a thing about this guy besides reading the bit where it says he was a president. If he was that high of stature and this article is a useful note (for some reason stuck in mainspace), I think a caricature is hardly fitting, give the man a woodcut portrait dammit.

Current image is this, it's not good even by your normal image standards given the legibility of the text and the caption being reliant on it:

No, but cherries can.

@Septimus: The only currency he's been on is a $1 coin in the president's series. What Another Duck means, I think, is that it looks like it could be an image on a paper bill.

(Mind you, that wasn't my reason for suggesting it, but in retrospect it does look like it would be fitting for such a use.)

@treelo: Probably still in Main/ simply because it hasn't been moved to the right namespace. It should be in the UsefulNotes/ namespace.

Ok, so far it's 5+me in favor of the suggestion in the OP. Need to wait for more votes, or just roll with it and make the change?

I pretty much meant that it's in the same style as the ones you see on bills, and of a visually similar quality. Though actual pictures you have on bills have an extremely high resolution.

Not that the pun was unintentional. *cough*

It is about as boring as it can get. The one that is there is funny.

The current gets a big old shrug from me. I wouldn't mind a switch; they're about equal in boring-ness in my eyes, frankly.
