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)
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
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.
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.
