I can think of no better bill to change than the 20. We have lots of great presidents and statesmen in our history- Jackson sits among them, maybe. (Maybe not?) However, we are a country with a rich and diverse history that is not defined solely on old white men from long ago. I can think of no better improvement of today's currency than to add a woman that deserves distinct recognition. Seeing as we have only had a few used so far in our money with Sacagawea, Susan B. Anthony and "Lady Liberty"- it's time for an update. Maybe more than one piece of currency? I'm pretty sure that women have been a presence in the USA from the start.
By the way- I am not entirely sure what the protest is about. Why is it okay to have boring money? Isn't it blah to have ALL our cash that looks like aniquity? Let's add color, bold typography, great women, people of of other colors and ethnicities, and other walks of society to our cash. Lots of people have shaped our society. Why not make it fun to not only possess money but fun to wanna hold and keep it a little longer because you want to look at it? Maybe even learn from it.
Maybe there should be financial tips printed on it- I could use that, too.

If Andrew Jackson (i.e. God i.e. The Dark Knight) is removed from the twenty dollar bill I'm moving to Canada. Use a bill with a less important person, like George Washington.
