Other Crap

WTF?? Jack Nicklaus will be featured on a 5-pound note to be issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland.

• He replaces the current face, that of Groundskeeper Willie.
• No real, living person, other than a member of the British Royal Family, has ever appeared on a Scottish or English banknote.
• I like Jack a lot, but this seems crazy, especially given that he has a sponsorship agreement with RBS. Let's see - he puts their name on his golf bag, and they put his name on their banknotes. Sounds fair. I think I need to cut a deal between Other Crap and the U.S. Mint. I think I'd look great as a replacement for Susan B. Anthony. Ah, the Uncle Scoopy Dollar.
