A new picture for the $20 bill

Well I was going to say Marilyn Monroe in that blowing skirt shot, but Ameriscot is already taking us men to task. So getting serious, I have to agree; Eleanor Roosevelt. I was young at the time, and all I ever heard about her was that she was ugly and always sticking her nose in where it didn't belong. I saw a documentary on her just a few weeks ago. A truly outstanding woman. Highly deserving of recognition. Still no great beauty, but Andrew Jackson doesn't do it for me either.

Moi!?

I became interested in learning about Eleanor Roosevelt about a year ago and read several biographies on her and also a really good documentary. She was an amazing, outstanding, incredible woman!!! She had such a horrible childhood and her marriage was unhappy but she overcame all of that. I remember in one book someone had been told what an ugly woman she was but he didn't see that at all. She was just an incredible woman who inner beauty shined through.
 
I love & greatly admire Eleanor Roosevelt, but every time the govt changes stamps & currency it costs the taxpayers $!
crazy that the PO still does that. The $2 bills & $1 coins were an expensive failure.

Completely agree. Here's one of my favorite New Yorker cartoons. In case you can't read the caption it is "For gosh sakes, here comes Mrs. Roosevelt"
