Washington ? Ronald Reagan may be coming soon to the $10 bill.

Some of his most ardent admirers, who’ve spent 10 years promoting memorials to the 40th president, will go into high gear after Friday’s funeral to work toward getting Congress to put his face on the $10 bill.

Grover Norquist, the president of the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, said the 62 things already named for Reagan — from the former National Airport outside Washington to an aircraft carrier to a New Hampshire mountain — were only the beginning.

“We want something significant named for Reagan in every state and every county,” Norquist said, “as well as in the formerly communist countries of Eastern Europe.”

Congress may change the $10 bill as soon as this month, he said. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, supports the idea, said his spokesman Jonathan Grella.

Of course, putting Reagan on the ten-spot would mean removing Alexander Hamilton, the first treasury secretary and the founding father dearest to conservatives.

“We’ll find something else cool for him,” Norquist said.

There are competing proposals. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., wants to put Reagan on the $20 bill. It now carries the image of Andrew Jackson, the seventh president. Rep. Mark Souder, R-Ind., proposes putting Reagan on the dime, replacing President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

But both those proposals are problematic politically because “that’s just too in your face” against former Democratic presidents, said Bob Stevenson, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn.

“There is a legitimate argument that can be made” for changing the $10 bill, Stevenson said. “Alexander Hamilton was not a president of the United States.”
