In fairness to them, some of the reason for the upset is righteous. “Alexander Hamilton is not someone that people have a problem with,” said the director of the Women On 20s campaign. Why kick the great man off the currency instead of the far more dubious Andrew Jackson? I couldn’t agree more.

We could do away with the 10 and 50 dollar bills and be just fine.
First world problems.
Make their own money.
Why are we getting rid of the first black man to ever be on a dollar bill?
I’m surprised they aren’t trying to replace Washington’s face on the $1 bill with Obama’s.
My thing is: why do they feel the need to displace one of the Founding Fathers on our existing currency? If it’s that important to put a woman on a cash note, why don’t they come up with a new denomination— like maybe a $15 or a $30 dollar bill?
The Founding Fathers belong on our money. End of debate. IMHO. They made it all possible to have this money. Call me what you will.
We think alike...CHEERS!
Made me think of this old movie with Bette Midler.
‘What is this? I’m being marked down?’

I think I prefer women on currency when they’re in the form of cosmic goddesses who represent some aspect of our republic in an abstract way rather than actual historical women. The Statue of Liberty is a good example of this sort of representation.
After she’s been dead fifty years, I’ll consider the first woman president to have at least have two qualifications to be on the bill.
Right now there isn’t a woman out there who does.
While they’re at it, why don’t they vote in 1000 women to the major league baseball hall of fame. It’s just not fair...
There you go, the first woman on our paper currency.
I’m unhappy it will be a non-president.
Political correctness sucks.
A new $15 bill would go right along with the feminists’ 76 cents on the dollar myth about the wages that women are paid. :=) A man on the $20 and a woman on the $15 - that works.
In the new age of “trans,” what difference does it make anyway?
A man’s now not necessarily a man and a woman’s not necessarily a woman. Maybe those in government pushing this agenda can make currency whose photos change from man to woman, based on the lighting conditions. That would be a demonstration of equality and an affirmation of gender changing, wouldn’t it?
Holograms could enhance the ambiguity of the images. For instance, an image of Barbara Jordan could alternate before our eyes with one of Marian Anderson. The previous resident of the $10 will have been thrown out like yesterday’s garbage. And they call it “progress.”
