Andrew Jackson was one of the most extreme paper-currency-hating presidents we've had. He completely dismantled the national bank of his time, banned the use of paper currency to purchase land, and now? He's on the $20 bill.
That's over 8 billion little metaphorical middle fingers currently in circulation around the world, completely unbeknownst to most. It took almost a hundred years for the treasury department to get back at Jackson, but man, they got him good.
