As an Op-Ed in this section notes, Wednesday is Women’s Equality Day, marking 95 years since the long-disenfranchised majority won the right to vote. It also could and should have been a day to celebrate the future placement of a prominent woman on the $20 bill, displacing the notoriously slaveholding, Indian-killing Andrew Jackson.

Put a woman on the bill $20 years after she’s out of office.
Why do we have to accommodate this nonsense?
How about just leave the money alone as it is?
Crazy, I know.
As they’ve run the printing presses, so to speak, it’s all gonna make great napkins some day regardless.
Who is “everyone”? I am not one of them. There are other ways to recognize historical figures of great measure without changing the currency.
Jackson is one of my favorite Presidents. He fought the federal reserve of it’s day and won against it’s chairman Nicholas Biddle. It’s a wonder they put him on the $20, maybe as an inside joke among themselves.
How much is it going to cost to put a woman on the 20 dollar bill? America sure has a severe case of the dumbschitz since Obonzo came to power.
The Den of Vipers.
Jackson is looking up at us right now, shaking his head.
Jackson is the only president to pay off the national debt. No wonder the Federal Reserve wants to remove him.
Douglas Brinkley, Michael Beschloss, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Ward Churchill?
Put a woman on the bill $20, and the $20 bill will become UNACCEPTABLE !
Political correctness again running amok. Right, Donald.
How much is this change going to cost?
Make a 13 dollar bill and put Obama on it
There are no women that deserve to be on the $20.
Currency is not monopoly money reflecting pc whims of the day.
Jackson fought corrupt central banks. Ican see why marxists and trendy ikea pc-ers want him off the $20.
Excellent point and I forgot about that. Leave him on.

Won’t need napkins if there’s no food.
Blocking that may be what this is all about...
I hope that if Trump gets in he puts Reagan’s likeness on the 20$
I’d love to see it :-)
I really like the images of Indians on currency.
The old buffalo nickles were great.
I like the one ounce silver rounds that have an Indian chief on one side and a buffalo on the other.... classy looking IMO
