Campaign to place Harriet Tubman on a newly created $25 bill—instead of removing Andrew Jackson from the $20. Such a move would eliminate all controversy plus accommodate a very common amount in financial transactions with just a singular bill. We already have the quarter dollar, why not the $25 bill?
I further suggest the possibility of the government enacting legislation to allow incremental issuances of the Tubman to be used to raise funds for worthy personal causes—such as home loans, the reduction of student debt, business grants, scholarships, medical coverage, legal aid, etc.--as people would respond more positively to personal needs rather than governmental needs.
Example: Every year, issue 1 billion units at, maybe, $28.00 each—providing *$3 billion/year (*minus expenses) to help American citizens needing/deserving it survive/succeed in this tense/competitive world. The more affluent citizens would be encouraged to purchase these and then release them into normal circulation via common transactions (their way of "giving back" to the less-fortunate masses). Let's look at the millionaires alone. There are approximately 11 million of them in the U.S. Twenty-eight billion dollars ÷ 11 million millionaires = $2,545.46 per millionaire to purchase 1 billion Tubmans (at approximately 91 Tubmans bought per millionaire). This comes out to only $272.73 lost--"donated"--per millionaire ($3 billion ÷ $11 million). Of course, we'd also have the billionaires (607 of them), "thousandaires," and even the "hundredaires" joining in to compete for those limited units. The bottom line is, those able to afford to buy them would have their funds invested toward fulfilling the needs of the masses. And isn't that the greatest purpose of economics?
Harriet Tubman was about freedom from human bondage. Let her also be about freedom from economic bondage as well.
