So who do you think should go on the American banknotes? More presidents like JFK, Obama, Trump, or someone more current like Taylor Swift? The banknotes include $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100.

I think the bills should be kept for political leaders, especially founding fathers and revolutionary presidents. I don't think celebrities really deserve to be on our currency compared to people who had a significant impact on establishing our country.

Agreed. I would argue that we could put some other people besides founding fathers and presidents though...like how about Harriet Tubman or Martin Luther King?

I guess I could extend my answer for not just founding fathers and revolutionary presidents but also those who had the same impact as them. But, I'd sure love to see Wilson come back on the $1000 bill 😅

So do you think the banknotes are perfectly fine the way they are?

Yup, but I do think both Roosevelt's deserve to be on some type of currency as they did get our country through hard times.

    100% upvote. I'd love to see her on the $20 instead of Andrew Jackson

    Martin Luther King would definitely be one.
    Harriet Tubman.
    Maybe Betsy Ross?

    I think we should hold a nation wide art contest for elementary students and let them design the portraits. I look forward to seeing crayon renditions of Pikachu and Fortnight characters.

    I would prefer animals. Paying a bill with lions and turtles would it much more fun.

    I personally think we should have wildlife on our bills :)

    America change?!?! As far as I know the banknotes have never changed material, colour or theme, you've been behind on every debit/credit card innovation (ie - the tap, portable machines to the tables), and you still have the penny!! Sorry to sound harsh, but it always blows my mind how far behind the USA is in currency exchange.
