I fail to see any reason to put any woman on the $20.
The only thing they are saying is that they want one. There is no real why other than they want one.
Next every privileged group will want one.
It’s just another meme playing out here to destroy long-held and formerly non-controversial standards; in this case, that presidents are the only folks on bills.

I wouldn’t. I still think presidents should be the only ones on paper currency. If she can become a president I’m all for it.

Yeah, they were sweet coins. At one point, back when our local U.S. Post Orifice still had stamp machines, it would give back all unused dollars in Sacagaweas. I thought that was slick. Loved watching a cashier's face when you paid with them, too. LOL

I have some problems with Jackson on the twenty, but he opposed a central bank with all his being. This led to 80 years of stability in our currency that has not been seen since over the past 100 years. But the biggest one, when he left office, he had accomplished a feat that had never been done before and has not happened since. The United States had no national debt. It was paid in full.
However the Indian Removal and the Trail of Tears is to me the major stain on his legacy. So if we do remove him from the twenty dollar bill, I would humbly suggest that the most appropriate person to replace him would be Shawnee chief Tecumseh.

Excellent point. Except that the Athony Dollar was a flop in terms of it not being very popular with the public, hardly got to get used in any any retail transactions.

This is a set-up so that we end up “WRONGING WOMEN” and therefore OWE Hillary a win, or something.

I must observe that the only reason that he has stayed on the double sawbuck so long is that Indian killer Jackson was the founder of the Democrat party. In his day, he was just as tyrannical as Obama is now. As such, I would much rather see President Reagan on the twenty.

All the money that had actual women on them have been failures (the $ coins)
It is for this reason that the women want to kick a man off an already established banknote. It increases to probability of success.
It’s like when the replace an established character character with a black (in films, etc.). Starting off with a black character would fail...but taking a character like Spider-Man, or some other superhero (who is white) and then replacing him with a black guy will make it more acceptable. Or so they believe...
Look at how successful the black remakes of Annie, the Honeymooners and the Wizard of Oz has been! /sarc
