Are you going to head downtown to find out what you can get for a Tubman?
I usually get laid using my D*.

A 2 dollar bill of her own instead of the bastardized hybrid of Tubman and Jackson was a good idea.

I figured Rosa Parks would be the top choice.
Why isn't Michelle Obama being considered?

“I think Andrew Jackson was a tremendous secretary — I mean a tremendous president,” Mr. Carson said. “I mean, Andrew Jackson was the last president who actually balanced the federal budget, where we had no national debt.
“In honor of that, we kick him off of the money,” he added.
Carson needs a history lesson. Ya, the guy "balanced the budget", then we had a financial crisis and a recession that lasted a decade. Why are people even still talking about Carson? Thought we were done having to listen to his whisper mumbles.

Two potential 'she's' listed in the post you're responding to.
Rosa Parks? Should be on the $100 bill.
M. Obama? Should be respected for the work that she's done.

Rosa Parks should be on the $100.
M. Obama shouldn't be on a $ bill.
Are we agreeing or disagreeing?
I can't tell, but H.Tubman or R. Parks have earned their place on our currency.
Literally no one is proposing putting Rosalynn Carter or Laura Bush or Michelle Obama on any form of currency.
What's the problem with H. Tubman?
She's an American hero.
Boom.

Rosa Parks gets a pass in my book. The fiction we teach in schools about Rosa Parks doesn't do the story justice. I think Tubman was a great choice considering her roll in the union army.

I know who Rosa Parks is and what she did..........you could list Michelle's accomplishments on a Post-it. Remember school lunches? So do millions of students.

I am pretty sure that living people's faces can't be put on American currency. So no Michelle Obama.
I speculate the reason for this policy is so that the currency isn't used to "advertise" a politician.

Personally I don't know why they have to mess with the person pictured on any money at this point, create a new denomination or whatever. Doesn't really matter though as physical money is being used less and less. It's also going to be over a decade before the 20 is changed unless it's fast-tracked as the 20 wasn't up for update until 2030.
I don't recall the last time I looked at the center of any bill front or back, I just look at the corners for denomination.
