I actually like the general idea of more, different faces on US money. Of course, the argument that every other country out there uses money, like stamps, to showcase a rotating display of their art, science, and heroes, is meaningless (if not a detriment) in the United States, but I think despite a pathological conservatism when it comes to art, Americans could get behind shaking up our money a bit in ways other than "what size is Andrew Jackson's head this year?"<\/p>\n

(I sometimes think this idea gets no traction because it would mortally offend some group or another to take away their beloved George \/ Abe \/ Andy \/ Ulysses \/ Ben from their banknotes. But I digress)<\/p>\n

To that end, yes, it would be a fabulous opportunity to feature some women. I'd only establish the rule that they cannot have been alive in the past, oh, 75 years. That avoids any real-life-remembered political outrage over putting THAT PERSON on MY MONEY. It also eliminates, for a while, at least half the candidates given, but there are plenty, and to spare.<\/p>\n

(I feel much the same way about naming buildings, or printing postage stamps, after anyone<\/i> living. It's just asking for trouble, if not political than tempting-the-gods style — just Google "arapahoe county patrick sullivan").<\/p>\n

Anyway, I think it's a good idea. I've cast my<\/i> ballot …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nWe’re building a movement to put the portrait of a woman on our U.S. paper money. Americans everywhere can help compel this change by voting NOW for their choice of 15 great American heroes they most want to see on a new $20 bill.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
