Maybe not, but it sort of misses the whole point of the thing. It’s really not about what you would prefer to look at.

It's not about who I'd rather look at either. I'd rather look at Scarlet Johansson than either Andrew Jackson or Harriet Tubman, the point is that Andrew Jackson is more deserving of a place on the $20.

As I asked on another board, what are more significant historical accomplishments and more worthy of commemoration on our currency:

1. Being a hero of the War of 1812 and being largely responsible for adding Florida to the union or

2. helping some runaway slaves escape. Let's be objective now.
