Meh... I would have tossed Hamilton. He was way too much of a "big government" guy. Also, couldn't duck.

Jackson was a war hero. Also quite the player, from what I've read.

what is disturbing to me is a radical change. I can see the additions of Martin Luther King Jr and maybe a Susan B Anthony or Eleanor Roosevelt phased in because I think that gives representation but the sheer amount of change to several women who I and probably most people have never heard of seems a bit of an overkill and agenda pushing

Hamilton also a war hero and player.

Hey! Check out that sign at Rutgers..... it was Revolutionary War Captain Alexander Hamilton providing cover from his high ground spot for George Washington's escape leading to Philadelphia and the following month's attack against the Hessians Christmas night in Trenton - 1776.

I don't understand why they are including women, but excluding men who feel like women, women who identify as men, men who identify as lesbians, gay man-women, good old-fashioned cross-dressers, and all other stripes of human sexuality. Can't we at lest get a new $3 with Liberace? Or maybe the fat guy from Modern Family, if they want to go more contemporary?

Bruce Springsteen is gonna go crazy over this. Get ready for him to stop accepting US currency as payment for concert tickets. Plastic only to show solidarity with the transgender freedom fighters.

Bye bye Bloody Bloody. Most overrated President in our history. Putting aside his slave trading and ethnic cleansing, why was this guy honored by being pictured on paper money, given that he despised the very concept of paper money?

Old Hickory was an ornery cuss.

Now, now.... Old Hickory did have one big Rutgers fan:
Source: November 17, 1827 Trenton Emporium:

“The venerable Col. Rutgers put the first vote in the ballot box, on the opening of the polls of the Seventh Ward, New-York, for Old Hickory, and made a speech to his fellow citizens. The following are the remarks of Col. Rutgers at the Seventh Ward polls:

“I am a very old man, fellow citizens. You have known me too long to suppose me capable of deceiving you. I desire to say to you, that the man who has passed through the wars of our first and second peril cannot be capable of plotting mischief against the republic: nor can the man who has exposed his person and pledged his property in the hour of danger, be the foe of liberty and his country. There are about a few of us left who witnessed the first efforts for freedom, and we are more than repaid by seeing our country, under the blessings of Providence, free and happy. Let us not suppose any man who drew his sword in the first and second war for liberty, could deserve the character which his enemies give him. I give you the ticket of the old republican party, and I offer it with additional pleasure, because it is the ticket friendly to General Jackson.”

You've never heard of Harriet Tubman? You're an embarrassment to Rutgers.

Apparently we're not supposed to care about "great Americans" anymore.

Put Jen Aniston on the 20. Perky nips and all.

Sojourner Truth, Lucretia Mott, Alice Paul and Elizabeth Cady Stanton

hey some people may know these names fine, but I always thought that to be on a bill you had to be LEGEND....when you start adding people just to add and feel political correct by honoring different movements thats when its overkill.

Certainly honoring people like Tubman, Anthony, and King Jr is more than appropriate...the others not so much.

$1: George Washington (POTUS)
$2: Thomas Jefferson (POTUS)
$5: Abraham Lincoln (POTUS)
$10: Alexander Hamilton (Non- POTUS)
$20: Andrew Jackson (POTUS) /Harriet Tubman (Non- POTUS)
$50: Ulysses S. Grant (POTUS)
$100: Benjamin Franklin (Non- POTUS)

There have been other women on US bills before: http://www.snopes.com/2015/06/17/10-bill-woman/
