(Newser) – The days of American paper money being an all-boys club could be numbered. President Obama said yesterday that he had received a letter from a young girl wondering why there were no women on US bills, "and then she gave me a long list of possible women to put on our dollar bills and quarters and stuff, which I thought was a pretty good idea," reports the Hill, which notes that while women including Susan B. Anthony and Native American guide Sacagawea have appeared on coins, the only woman to have made it onto paper money is Martha Washington, who was on dollar silver certificates in the 1880s.
But who would go on the bills—and who would they replace? George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Benjamin Franklin can probably rest easy, but Jillian Keenan at Slate made a good case earlier this year for booting Andrew Jackson off the $20 bill for his support of slavery and "ethnic cleansing" of Native Americans—and because he was "a fierce opponent of paper money and the central banking system." Vox suggests contenders including Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Ida Wells. New York magazine has mocked up $20s with some of those choices, as well as ones featuring Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Martha Stewart, and Kim Kardashian.
Sounds like a winner to me.

Edith Wilson?......................

LaWanda Page was a friend of Redd Fox from childhood. She was a stand-up comic, just as he was. He real life persona was entirely different than Aunt Esther, though...............Still, she was a talented and funny comedienne and actress.............
Put Hitlary, Moooooooochells, Shiela Jackson Lee and a bunch of other libs and I’ll use it for toilet paper, the value it is rapidly approaching.
Mine, too.
Good one ;)
I like it, she already lives in their little heads rent free, invade their damned wallets too!
Grace Hopper wasn’t a president, but neither was Benjamin Franklin.
So i say we put Margret Thatcher on the 20 dollar bill, just to spite the libs.
I think a better bet would be to mint specie coins as currency accurately reflecting those metals market value.
Currently, Canada makes a very pure Maple Leaf gold coin, with a laser hologram engraved in it, sold in a sealed container. The US could do the same, but with the coins value greater than the metal market value.
That is, gold is currently around $1300 an ounce. So if the US made a one ounce gold coin, it should have a face value of $5000, for example.
Silver is around $20 an ounce, so an almost pure US silver ounce coin could have a nominal value of $500.
A one ounce copper coin might be $100.
The trick would be in the laser hologram engraving, and that each coin might be numbered and associated with an individual owner.
What US Paper Money is Edith's portrait on?!?
[ Benjamin Hart wanted to shoot the remaining hostages, but she insisted on hanging them. ]
She certainly sounds awesome! I think she was really pissed off that they invaded her home and endangered her family. Never Mess with a Momma Grizzly bear!
I think Nancy Hart was the Original Mamma Grizzly!
Edith Wilson?......................
I see what you did there!
We would have to add Elanor Rosevelt on there too as towards the end FDR wasn’t all that there and some speculate she ran a lot of things too...
These idiots never stop do they?
None at this time..............
Edith was ‘de Facto’ President..........................
Replace the 1925 standing Liberty with a 1917 type 1 Quarter. :)
