Obama Wants To Put Oprah Winfreys Face On The New Dollar Bill Recently, a young girls letter to President Obama has been making headlines, sparking a heated debate online. The President first mentioned the letter during a speech he delivered in Kansas City, Missouri. According to him, the letter detailed a list of potential female candidates to have their face printed on coins and bills. According to Obama, that was a pretty good idea. Not long after his comment, the discussion became a hot topic online, and New York Magazine decided to post a $20 bill with Oprahs face on it. The New Republic, on the other hand, place Harriet Tubman on a $100 bill. Even popular music sensation Beyonces face made it onto a bill. Lets keep in mind that if any of these were actually put to use, it would not, in fact, be the first time that a womans face was used on U.S. currency. According to records, in 1886 the $1 silver certificate featured the profile of Martha Washington. And the face of Sacagawea is still on the front of the golden dollar. What do you think? Is the online debate ridiculous? Does Oprah deserve to be on a $20 bill?
