Let’s Put Tubman on the Twenty!

But Why Stop There?

It looks like President Biden will be putting Harriet Tubman’s portrait on the American twenty dollar bill.

I’m all for that. But why stop there? Men have been featured this country’s currency for decades.

Now it’s our turn.

Let’s put iconic American women on all our currency!

I just asked my Facebook friends: Who would you like to see replace all the Dead White Guys on our money?

The woman who got the most votes by far? Eleanor Roosevelt. She gets my vote too.

Other suggestions included:

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Molly Brown. She’s unsinkable, so our currency would never crash.

Kim Kardashian. The true face of capitalism.

Janis Joplin

Abigail Adams

Moms Mabley.

Sojourner Truth

Grumpy Cat! (A lot of people don’t realize that Grumpy Cat was a she.)

Mae West. We could change E Pluribus Unum to Come Up and See Me Sometime.

Aretha Franklin. The Queen of Soul would totally rock a fifty.
