Money: Who would YOU put on our currency?

Grand idea, but she is, yanno, British. Not that there is anything wrong with being British.

I’d liked to see somewhere:

Elizabeth Cady Stanton & susan B Anthony ( one on each side.)
Carrie Nation ( why not?) (an axe on the back)
Sojourner Truth
Elizabeth Peratovich ( a picture of alaska on the back)
Jane Goodall. ( apes on the back)
Calamity Jane ( why not) booze, cards and guns on the back side.
Ester Morris ( first woman to hold a political office in the US)

Good thought! There are far too few women on money (Lizzie Chips excluded)…don’t forget colours though!

We went with Kate Shepard.

I want all the colors to glow in the dark.
Is that asking too much?

Bow…BOW! Before the glory of the WINK-MEISTER! fnord

Hey the plastic notes almost do! But even better they will go through the washing machine AND dryer and still be recognisable, spendable and COLOURFUL :slight_smile:

And while they don’t glow in the dark it is much easier to tell a green note from a yellowey/orangey note in the dark…not that I have ever exchanged money in the dark.

Artists and musicians and writers. That’s what you need. Or cities. Or spacecraft.

Something non-political, anyways.

Yeah, especially since tritium is a gas. :smiley:

$1 - James Dean
$2 - William Holden
$5 - Clint Eastwood
$10 - Jimmy Stewart
$50 - Humphry Bogart
$100 - John Wayne

Oh hell, I copied my list from the one person that left out the $20…

$20 - Spencer Tracy

Yeah, and we know there’s no way to use it in self-illuminating solid…aw, forget it. :smack: :frowning:

.01: Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch .05: Joey Ramone
.10: Lucy Liu (ohhh, sweet Lucy Liu) .25: Willie Nelson
$1: Hank Aaron
$5: Sissy Spacek
$10: Tom Waits
$20: Ella Fitzgerald
$50: Buster Keaton
$100: Ralph Ellison

(I was going to include Mark Twain and Johnny Cash, but others had already named them so I figured I’d go with new names.)

$1 - LaToya
$2 - Jermaine
$5 - Michael
$10 - Tito
$20 - Jackie
$50 - Marlon
$100 - Janet

I would want to see artists, composers, authors, scientists.

Since probably no one besides me will think of composers, here are some:

$1 - Leonard Bernstein

$2 - Charles Ives (yes! bring back the $2 bill!)

$5 - George Gershwin

$10 - Aaron Copland

$20 - Duke Ellington

$100 - Ruth Crawford Seeger

Oops, I need a $50, so how about: Bernard Hermann

Nikola Tesla, definitely (and no Thomas Edison, either!).

I think I like this idea best. I’d get rid of the whale and the invertebrates and include the mountain lion, antelope, moose, bighorn sheep, rattlesnake, grizzly bear, and (so it’s not forgotten) the late, lamented passenger pigeon. Maybe raccoons and sea otters as well – any charismatic animal that’s identifiable with North America. The backs of bills could have well-known American landscapes and natural features.

Michael needs to be on the $3.

Even better - a $100 bill featuring Scrooge McDuck.

Bravo!

And IRS forms with the Beagle Boys on em.

Probably, I just figured he’d always represented the 5.
