We might not see that bill until 2030 so I "think" we have some time to work on finalizing a mock up.

She doesn't look like a huge fan of our brand of degen and gambol either...

For the record, I like the idea of having her on the bill. Still, all the mockups I've seen have a similar expression disapproval.
I want to live in your world if this is the most ridiculous thing you ever heard.
I guess JFK would make sense if by law you were only allowed to use $20 bills to pay hookers.

Most of his extramarital affairs were not paid prostitutes.
Sure, but how else am I supposed to live like JFK?
Really? Try again. MLK liked to get his dick wet all over. Not that I personally care much at all, but if we have some kind of puritanical standard that would prevent us from putting JFK on the $20 bill for sleeping around, it would be fair to at least consider MLK's shortcomings in that regard.

IF we're only going to go acronyms, JFK and MLK are obvious choices. How about FDR though? You could have a New Deal-er button and everything.
No way he let the attacks on Pearl Harbor happen so we could enter the war.
I vote Nixon.
My man Nixon!
But I am now envisioning a series of "Tricky Dick" inlays (npi), and it ain't pretty.
At least Tubman's reputation as a religious wacko ought to make the xtian right happy.
:
JFK & FDR are already on coins , MLK will be on the back of the $5 soon ....

I dunno, man.
Born a slave. Uneducated, beaten, wounded. Escaped.
Went back repeatedly, freeing more slaves.
Establishes elaborate escape network for other enslaved people (the Underground Railroad).
War breaks out... she becomes a cook for the Union Army. Then a nurse.
Then an armed advanced scout and spy.
Then becomes the first woman in the Union Army to lead armed expeditions into battle. (Raid at Combahee Ferry.)
And that poker face.
All in all, seems kinda deserving, don't you think?

Hard to say who's more deserving. Certainly in her time, she was just as important to the culture as MLK was in his, and her resume is no less impressive:
Born a slave, escaped.. twice.
Personally helped 70 others escape.
Hung out with badass dudes like Frederick Douglass and John Brown.
First woman to lead an armed assault in the Civil War.
Had a bounty on her head for being a Northern spy.
Was highly influential as an abolitionist and a humanitarian.
Did it all while suffering seizures and hallucinations from a serious head injury sustained as a slave.
I probably wouldn't smile in my pictures, either.

I think a lot of you guys are missing the point. The biggest reason this happened is because she's a woman.

Yeah, I just don't like that photo of her. What choices are out there?

Meaning it was a lot of feminist, politically correct entitlement crap. I'm all for equal rights and recognition and all that, but why are things like this so important?
Still not understanding the objection. What's the problem with the change?

You could ask the same question in reverse...
Currency bills are redesigned and released as new series on a regular basis. Why do some people object when the subject matter isn't preserved the same way for a hundred years? The only places that have the same figure on a bill as long as we do seem to be monarchies.
Look, for example, at the 50-Franc note, which had completely different art and/or individuals on them in the following release years:
1927
1931
1942
1951
1960
1979
1993
1999
Versus British 10-Pound note -
1964 series C note, no pictorial
1975 series D, Florence Nightingale
1992 Series E, Charles Dickens
2000 second Series E, Charels Darwin
Next up, Series F: J. M. W. Turner, to be released.
But these images are all on the reverse - they all have the Queen on the front.
Why have the US banknotes stayed the same? We don't have, and never had, royalty.

It's the motivation behind the premise for changing it. Why does it need to be changed?
It doesn't need to be. But what's the big deal if it is?
