    Dolly belongs on the $100.

    And while we’re at it, put Harriet Tubman on the $20. And maybe John Brown on the $10.

      Personally, I’d prefer Dolly was on the $1 bill, so that the kids she helped learn to read would see her on their allowances/lunch money/birthday cards/what-have-ya 🥰

        Best choice for Dolly. Get her pervasive in the collective consciousness, and hope that familiarity more strongly endears her genuinely charitable efforts to said populace —maybe even making the world a kinder place, one dollar at a time. 🥰🌞🌱

      wait wait. hold on. i want john brown (specifically that one of him with his cool beard) as the watermark on all of them. in different poses so if you had all the denominations it’s like a little flipbook. so one might say the soul of john brown is marching on in our money.

      let’s put Hound Dog Taylor on the 10 and put a little chip in it that plays music when you open it.

      dolly should play 9 to 5. opening your wallet should be annoying as hell.

    I vote for Ronald McDonald. Perfect emblem for a clown shoes government and a currency based on systemic fraud.

      For a moment I could only think of the inked kind of stamps and thought, “Wait, people stamp pictures onto money? And they did that with Elvis? I’ve never seen Elvis on a dollar, how have I missed that?”

      Then I remembered postage stamps exist.

      Regardless, I’m still down for stamping a picture of Dolly onto bills.

        Elvis got more than just a stamp. he got an entire art movement. I’m writing a song/ballad (or rather trying, but I’m distracted with four other projects so if’n you want to help/write a competing song, reach out) about velvet elvises (because one of the most beautiful phrases in the english language is “velvet elvis”. fuck you, cellar door. oooh, i should use that as a lyric.)

        LOL! Although I believe a postage stamp would be an appropriate and deserved homage to the great Dolly Parton, I would also be down for stamping Dolly Bucks.
