In a triumph of common sense, historical awareness, and crazed enthusiasm for a Broadway rap musical, the Treasury Department has announced that Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, which will void a previous decision to take Alexander "Hamilton" Hamilton off the $10. (Update, 4:45 p.m.: Treasury says there will still be some sort of image of Jackson on the back of the bill.) This is great news, and it brings up another important question: Which historical figure should our current president, Barack Hussein Obama, replace when we honor his legacy by putting him on an item of currency?

We should start with a new $3 bill with Hillary on it, then replace her with Obama.

Leave our currency alone. The last time the mint touched it, it made the paper look burnt. Now dimes feel like the toy change in Europe.

I'll be honest; I've always thought it was a little weird or inappropriate for Andrew Jackson to be on the $20 bill, just based on his opinion of banks.
If we are going to have Obama on currency, it should be a $3 bill. And the historical figure that should eventually replace him is Harvey Milk.

George Washington, of course.
Obama is the new "Father of our Country," right?

Put his likeness on the $3 bill, which he is as phony as...

Just give us a $25 bill with her face on it and let us decide if we want to use it or not.
