Franklin used to be on the large denomination bill too.... He was no president.

He was vital to the establishment of the United States. So was Ben Franklin.

He was one of the lead writers of the constitution, got us French backing in the War and was a vital to establishment of the U.S. government.

Grace Hopper would be a good choice for many, many reasons. She was a remarkable person.

If I recall correctly, Hamilton was president after Benjamin Franklin (on the $100 bill) and before Salmon Chase (on the $10,000 bill).

Believe it or not I actually knew that.
I was just saying that he was never a president.

Just heard on the news.
Lew will choose a woman representing the struggle for racial equality to replace Jackson on the $20.
Hamilton will stay on the front of the $10 but a scene depicting the Women’s Suffrage Movement on the back.

“How would like your withdrawal sir?”
“ In $5s please”

Guess I’ll need a bigger wallet.

Wasn't Jackson the first member of the Democrat party to get elected President?

If they're going to do this I vote for Molly Pitcher.

Well the reason for the decision is easy to determine. “Jackson” is not currently a hit play tearing up Broadway.

I am but one citizen but if the Treasury takes Jackson off the twenty, I will no longer accept twenties as tender.

I guarantee a black woman will be the choice.

You might be right--Rosa Parks, for example. For my part, tongue in cheek, I'll nominate Margaret Sanger.

Gee! I wonder what color the woman will be? What political affiliation? Her disdain and hate of the white male? Her gender identity selection? Her hatred of the work ethic? Her level of understanding that one is responsible for one’s own actions? And...a whole host of politically correct prerequisites to be selected for the honor of being placed on the $20 dollar bill.

Naw! I think I already know.
