On the Money
Manage episode 289269347 series 2519747
We look at the portraits on our money— the little history lessons we carry around in our pockets. But with such a limited array of people featured, what do our banknotes say about us? First up, curator Ellen Feingold takes us on a tour of our money’s vibrant early designs, including images of children, beloved pets, and George Washington in a toga. Then former Treasurer Rosie Rios tells us how she discovered that women have been missing from our bills for more than a century, and how she campaigned to get Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.
See the images we discuss:
Benjamin Franklin, by Joseph Siffred Duplessis
Martha Washington, copy after Gilbert Stuart
Martha Washington, $1 silver certificate
George Washington wearing a toga, National Bank (New York), $3 note
George Washington, Lansdowne Portrait
“History Instructing Youth,” $1 silver certificate
Indépendence des États-Unis, copy after Jean Duplessi-Bertaux
