Women on the Twenty

[jonatha]

When are we getting someone with ginger hair or flat feet on the banknotes?

If that's not important, why is getting a woman on them important?

Thomas Jefferson is already on the $2 bill.

That takes care of the ginger hair. Not sure about the flat feet...

Hamilton (10) and Franklin (100) were not presidents.

Well, it's best to ditch Franklin for her then. Bill Clinton can afford the expensive prostitutes you pay for with hundred dollar bills.

Also, I just learned that Benjamin Franklin was never a US President - I always thought that he was. That's kind of weird because, according to his wiki page, he apparently did every single other thing on the planet.

You should have elected that guy President.

Franklin was too busy and according to some, too smart to ever be president.

Who is going to replace Alexander Hamilton, and how do her accomplishments stack up to his?

He also died one year after the first presidential election and had become an abolitionist.

Helped win the Revolutionary War, lost the Social Justice War.

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!

All the people on your money are Presidents, so why not just put Hillary on there now instead of pointlessly waiting around?

That has the added bonus that when Bill buys a hooker, he'd pay her with pictures of his wife and this would get a bit of a chuckle, which is a nice gift for a woman who's been dead inside for years and could use a brief moment of joy.

Not all of them. Benjamin Franklin($100) and Alexander Hamilton($10) never made it to the White House.

When Ronald Reagan died, there was a lot of talk about putting him on the $20, but Ray Charles died a few days later and when it became clear Ray had the edge over Ron, the talk stopped.

Salmon Chase is on the very few $10,000 dollar bills still in circulation. Chase was Lincoln's Treasury Secretary when the federal government first issued paper currency. He put his own picture on the very first one dollar bill. That man had balls.

He was also the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, but was never President.

I have seen one of the 10,000 dollar bills mounted in a picture frame on a private office wall of a Wall Street lawyer. I found another lawyer after I saw the Chase bill on the wall.

I can't believe that I know some of this trivia.

The Australian current affair chat show 'The Drum' held a poll on which American woman should be on the US$10 and Rosa Parks held the lead by a substantial margin.

They should make it Kim Kardasian holding a machine gun. Nothing else would more perfectly sum up America.

If the elites that rule us let it be a true popular vote this has a decent shot of happening.

Interesting commentary:

Oust Hamilton From the $10 Bill? Not So Fast, Treasury

The USA is supposed to be an egalitarian democratic society; the treasury should select a random voter to appear on new banknote designs.

All you have to do is cast your vote, and you have the chance of being drawn as the next face of US currency.

Hot or not hot.

These bills aren't for everybody... just the sexy people.

Washington's dentures are not sexy.

Not Hamilton. Dump someone else.
