[RC one]

anything to remind us all that white men are evil.

[Mouton]

Guess I will have to stock up on 20’s.

[LostInBayport]

Based on the way things are going in this country, this is the most likely outcome.

I don’t understand why they waste money and effort on changing currency?
I see the need to make it less easy to counterfeit but they keep making new nickel and penny images too.I’m sure people get paid to submit schetches, make molds etc etc etc - so many better things for govt to spend money on than just designing more money.

Jeannette Rankin, first woman elected to and served in the US Congress, before women were even given the right to vote on a Federal basis. She represented Montana, a state which had granted full suffrage to adult females several years earlier.

She was a notorious pacifist, though, voting against entry into both the First and Second World Wars. This may or may not be looked upon as some kind of high moral principle.

Our currency has just become monopoly money anyway.

[dennisw]

This one isn't too bad.

Just the back of the five will change. Abe gets to keep his face on the five dollar bill.
= = =

Abe’s face is the same.

His rear gets LGBT treatment.

Putting Jackson on a Federal Reserve Note was perverse to begin with.

Putting a woman on the note instead for tokenism purposes seems appropriate in the context of the planned debasement of the currency.

And a mural depicting women's suffrage will appear on the back of the $10

I thought a number of female college students signed a petition against women's suffrage...

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Monica Lewinsky?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ll bet they are thinking more along the lines of Beyoncé, Jane Fonda or Slick Willie’s wife. I’d kind of like to see Maureen O’Hara or Lucille Ball.

[Old Yeller]

You sure that isn’t Harriet’s brother Harry?

At the rate of inflation, by 2030 the $20 will not even be around. The folks left will be using fifties in the manner we now use fives.
I know, they tell us inflation is under control.
Yeah. I also know what things costs 10 years ago, 20 years ago and so on.

I don't consider that comparable to anything Hamilton or Jackson did.

[markomalley]

Melania Trump would be the obvious candidate here.

It's what Jackson did to the American Indians that should disqualify him for the honor of adorning US currency.
His life story is true Americana, but his actions weren't.

This assumes the dollar is around in 2030. That’s a big if. What will the debt be then, 2,000 Trillion?

Prominent = Big Buzzooms?
