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

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