Sure, why not?
It really doesn't hurt to change. It shouldn't be change for the sake of change, but really, the contributions of Reagan are much more tangible today than those of some of the other fellows on the currency. The country (even the way the constitution is interpreted) don't even vaguely resemble what they were back then. Yes, we should pay homage to our older presidents, but the new ones deserve credit as well.
It honestly wouldn't bother me either way. I could give a crap what's on my nation's money. You could put Gerald Ford on all the paper money for all I care.
