The article on Women on Currency reminded me of the "Women's Series" produced by "Money Artist" J.S.G. Boggs in the 1990s. I knew him at the time, and bought a complete set in frames. While searching the web I discovered a Discovery Channel video about him from March of last year. He was up to his old Boggs-bill-spending tricks, and wouldn't you know it - he was trying to spend one of his Women's series notes. The $100 bill featuring Harriet Tubman as a young girl was illustrated in Worth magazine. Be sure to watch the video - it's short.
