Foreign born singer no-one has ever heard of is the best they could come up with? Most famous song is not even performed in English? Wow. How about an Einstein coin? Or Edison? Does creation of a new field in physics or inventing the light bulb pale in comparison to a sing-song girl? I know its impossible bc those titans were White and had johnsons, but a foreign born sing-song girl? Is that the achievement to be memorialized by a country’s money? Gives the impression that the gov has to scrape the bottom of the barrel because there’s simply no-one else sufficiently worthy and of the right skin color.
Not that new coinage is a bad idea. My belief is the Sacajawea coin was a flop bc at the time of introduction a dollar could actually buy something and I suppose people weren’t comfortable with more easily misplaced coins. I actually think it would be useful now that today’s dollar is yesterday’s quarter.
