$20 Bill Picture

hill6 · Jun 5, 2018

So the Treasury has indicated they are still in the early stages of planning the next line of currency, and I don't think it'll surprise anyone if Trump refuses to put Tubman on the $20. Not only is he removing his idol Andrew Jackson, but it'd be putting a Obama-era choice on the currency - and a black woman at that.

If you could choose who is on the $20, who are your top five picks?

For starters, I think Jackson is a terrible person for the $20 and should be removed.

As for who I would select, it would be interesting to see:

Sitting Bull (or another NA)
Linus Pauling
Jonas Salk
Grace Hopper
MLK Jr.

The reasons are simple: we have an over abundance of politicians and politically related people on our money. If you look at other countries, most have an assortment of influential people and/or natural scenes. Britain always has a few scientists, others, like South Africa, honor their wildlife, etc. Time to diversify.
