Eleanor Roosevelt was an amazing woman. Harriet Tubman also. Frances Perkins is another good one.

My mother is an amazing woman too.

What are your mother's human rights accomplishments? Was she also involved in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Has she served as a delegate to the United Nations? Do tell.

Wait, I'm a bit lost. Are you saying that Tubman or Mankiller (what a name, btw) were involved in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Eleanor Roosevelt is the only one in that bunch with significant accomplishments of her down. The others were great women--like my mom is--but nothing of that caliber.

Wait did you just say that Harriet Tubman did not have a significant accomplishment of her own???

It certainly depends on what you define as "significant," but if you define it as global impact and recognition, nothing like Roosevelt's.

That's a pretty specific definition of the word.

Do you think she would have had this role if not for her husband?

That's a way better choice than the ones they have.

.

Reagan was the reason America began a slow slide backwards, but his staff and wife, who kept his diminishing mental capacity from the country he was supposed to be in charge of are their own special brand of "should burn in hell."

Keep that jerk off the money. And change the airport's name back, too.

I'd be fine with doing like they do in some foreign countries and having the people depicted on the bills change frequently and be representative of sort of "everyman." To that end, I would like to have:
Native American tribes depicted
the laborers who built the railroads
Farmers who grow our food and the workers who harvest it
The workers who built the ships and planes for WWII
Civil War heroes

I could go on, but you get the picture.

And Harriet Tubman FTW.

Suggestions? Andrew Jackson isn't exactly spinning my wheels, personally.

Eff Andrew Jackson. Awful president who did the Trail of Tears and Indian removals.

That's a great question. Probably not. But i am not sure that matters much, think Hillary Clinton.

No woman.

Why should anyone's face be removed? Is it deserved? It's historical now and should stay as is.

Instead, let's wait for the $200 bill, and THEN put a woman on it.

[Anonymous]

No idea about the 20.

But for the $100, lets put Anthony Wiener on it. Then we can call it the "Wiener Beaner."

Andrew Jackson should be on the $20 bill. How much is it going yo cost the American taxpayer to institute an unnecessary change solely fir political correctness--another example of politicians pandering without regard to the bottom line.

I just read that it could cost up to a billion dollars. Really? What nonsense. We have better things to do with taxpayer money. It I'd time Washington acted responsibly instead of throwing taxpayer money around like Monopoly money.

You realize we redesign bills periodically for security reasons anyway right? It could be folded into the next update.
