<< <i>Well, probably not see any of these great American women since they don't fit into the current obsession with "correctness" but I'd vote for: Abigail Adams; Clara Barton; Elizabeth Blackwell; Harriet Tubman; Grace Hopper; Rachel Carson; Pearl S Buck; Emily Dickinson; Dorthea Dix. And there are others who will no doubt be by-passed. Hmmm, Rachel Carson might make it since she sort of started the whole "environmental revolution". Just my two cents. >>
Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set: 1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S. Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

The Treasury's original idea was to put a woman on a bill in the year 2020, the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which rightfully gave women the right to vote.
The popular media and people on the Interwebz decided that a $20 bill would be the perfect vehicle to use for this in 2020, but the Treasury never said which denomination was being considered. The same people then launched a not-unreasonable attack on Jackson for his execution of the Second Bank of the United States and the atrocities he committed upon Native Americans.
I suspect that Hamilton was the odd man out because he was never a President, and the other non-President, Franklin, is too revered to replace.

By 2120, they'll be legislating to keep the female alive and likely have the 3 dollar bill.

Sounds like a certain former president.

Emily Dickinson would be great!
She is big and the picture won't be too small
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
