Although Mandela's was put on the South African currency while he was alive but I get your point.
I think a man's legacy can only be defined after he's dead this is because 'people change'. Robert Mogabe, Adolf hitler,Obasanjo comes to mind

Nedu on point.
Furthermore, the works of a man ends after his last breath and then only can he be judged.
To put a man on a currency is to make him achieve immortality in people's mind.

When Obasanjo was president, there was a time strong rumors fly about his death which he came out with the famous 'I dey kampe', I thought to myself, this man face would have been in the N1000 note had he died.

If given a choice, would you die today for your name to be in the national currency?
