As President Biden considers putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, a group has emerged with several other proposals to put women on bills.
The British information firm Merchant Machine called for putting Vice President Kamala Harris on the $100 bill, media big Oprah Winfrey on the $50 bill, and tennis champ Serena Williams on the $10 bill.

In a proposal shared with Secrets, the goal of the group called for an international campaign to put more successful women on currency besides Queen Elizabeth II.

From leading us through the COVID-19 pandemic, fighting for climate change, dominating the music and athletic spaces, and revolutionizing the political landscapes, these are the women making modern history," said the firm.
It’s a good idea... Worthless people on worthless money.. :(
Let’s just go whole Hogg. The MAGA movement should adopt the rainbow.
I thought this was going to be a joke with a punch line along the lines of “drag a $100 bill through trailer park, and what do you get?
Answer: Kamala Harris
I'm with you. It's about time all us men get to stay at home and let the womenfolk get out there and earn the bacon. I can get a lot of fishing done between a load of laundry and running a vacuum across the floor once in a while.
We need more men on currency, world wide the queen is on more currency than everyone else, even canada does, despite the claim that they dont have a queen
I hardly ever use cash any more. Just plastic.................
These idiots are serious!....................
It’s all so tiresome.
Well hells bells, I’ve got a $3.00 bill with a picture of Bill Clinton on it.
Sorry for my bad grammar. I was just excited about being free of all responsibility.
There is. That’s why the Presidential dollar coins were stopped- they ran out of dead presidents.
Still no recognition for Ronald Reagan.
Let the Roomba do the work.
Just remember—the perfect is the enemy of the good!
Wait til the next war comes? Who will fill the ranks? Women? You threaten a draft and watch the birthrate raise as women declare they must stay home because of their babies. Think their will not be a big war? FOOL! Its coming sooner than we think.
Joanne Chesimard/Assata Shakur for the $2.00
Think of the fun drawing mustaches and beards on their pictures. Maybe an arrow through the head. I’m already planning on that for the new $20.
What, no Asian transgender?
