I'm afraid I agree with you that education is the key, not the face. And the cost to the public is just not worth the change. I'd rather just forget this and celebrate women with equal pay.........I am NOT for redoing the $20 bill. I don't think too many would benefit from it and in a few years, nobody would care at all.......

This was my first thought too. If the government wants to spend millions of dollars there are thousands of better causes to invest in. Besides when was the last time you all checked out the art work on a bill before you paid for your purchases??

I feel it is just another waste of tax payers money. Why is it that they can come up with so many ideas for waste, but nothing for fixing things??? They already changed our money to stop counterfeiters & that didn't work.

Why so many ideas? Because they have to do something to make it look like they actually earn their salaries. And really if they fixed things, they might be out of their own job. Just sayin'.

Now I'll go vote for a woman on the $20. They'll spend the money they/we don't have one way or another.

That would be a more appropriate use of time and money.

I say leave it all alone no need for this senseless change which will only cost us taxpayers more than its worth. PPl wont care who's on the bill as long as they have it too spend.

Are women so needy that we really NEED this? I say no.
