ARE TWO HEADS BETTER THAN ONE?

Wayne Pearson poses an interesting solution to the problem of making space for women on U.S. coins and paper money. -Editor

Women on paper money and coins: two heads are better than one

Eleanor Roosevelt quarter design The new quarters using women on the reverse side have their depictions rather small. Here is a thought to make the reverse of the quarter look like the obverse and making the woman's depiction bigger. I realize it will end up being a two headed coin-but I can live with that.

And in this same vein, why can't we use Harriet Tubman (and others) on the back of the paper money? Here is an example making the back look like the front of the Twenty while still using Jackson on the front. In this series, the twenty is purple. The federal reserve eagle isn't needed, so I removed it. The bill says ‘Federal Reserve Note' and it has the district letter and number. However, I did use the eagle on the back.
