A woman on the $20 bill. Who would you suggest?

[marylander1940]

A Frenchwoman? Sacre bleu!

 

Martha Washington was all American!

Very good. I never considered that.

 

Make it Betty Crocker! She was real to me.

That bitch already got a star on the Hollywood walk of fame, LOL

Lucille Ball was honored with a U.S. postal stamp back in 2001. I assume Mrs. Roosevelt and many of the other women mentioned here received the same honor.

[marylander1940]

Ayn Rand?

 

Hell no...!

Call me a softie but I kinda like the bill above with Lassie on it. Shows a vision for a kinder, gentler, furrier nation.

[TruthBTold]

On the serious side, Eleanor Roosevelt, for all the reasons stated. On the less serious,

DIVINE!!!!!!!

She was as ugly as smart, LOL

[TruthBTold]

Who, Eleanor or Divine?

Susan B Anthony again?

 

Mostly off topic, and at the risk of boring folks with my musical obsession did you know that (Flutist) Doriot Anthony-Dwyer, the first woman to hold a principal chair in the Boston Symphony, was the grand-daughter of Susan B. Anthony?

[TruHart1]

You do realize that Lassie (all of the Lassies over the years) was actually male, right?

That must have required some great make up or just filming the right way, LOL

[Phil_musc]

No, no, Lassie was in the process of transitioning to become the bitch he/she was always meant to be. Hollywood just simply helped him/her along in the process. It's really a wonderful story.

Meanwhile in GB:

 

Economist Adam Smith will be replaced by a historic figure from the visual arts on the new £20 note to be released next year.

 

The Bank of England (BoE) will invite the public to nominate candidates on who should adorn the new bank note, via its website until the deadline of 19 July.

 

In particular, the BoE is looking for people of historic significance from the visual arts including artists, sculptors, printmakers, designers, craftspeople, ceramicists, architects, fashion designers, photographers, and filmmakers.

 

 

Previous figures to feature on the £20 note have included playwright William Shakespeare, scientist Michael Faraday and composer Sir Edward Elgar.

[Becket]

There is only one choice. The ice skater, Johny Weir.

[Becket]

Or Eleanor Roosevelt. You could crumple up the note and the picture would look just the same

There they go--use me and throw me away!

There they go--use me and throw me away!

It's not as if they are throwing away the wealth of nations!

And of course there will still be a woman on the other side of the £20 note.

My vote would go for Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, or Ruth Bader Ginsburg..most likely in that order.

I second Eleanor Roosevelt. Such a mench!

[instudiocity]

It occurs to me that generally speaking I only have $20 bills on me between the ATM and my date's abode.

 

Maybe he would prefer a local hero, I nominate Chi Chi LaRue
