Susan Sarandon has been wondering that why there hasn't been a single woman on any piece of the American currency notes, and wants to see a woman's face on the new 20 dollar bill.

Sarandon and fellow gender equality advocates, have started a campaign called 'Women on 20s', which would determine one of 15 distinguished women to replace U.S. President Andrew Jackson on the 20 dollar bill by the year 2020, which marks the 100-year anniversary of the Constitutional amendment that granted women the legal right to vote, E! Online reported.

The 68-year old actress took to Twitter and posted her photo holding a note and wrote alongside that she would want to see a woman on the 20 dollar bill and one should post their photo and join her by voting at 'womenon20s.org #WomenOn20s'.

The organization's website has clearly stated that their mission was to generate an overwhelming people's mandate for a new 20 dollar bill, to be issued in 2020, as it took years for the process to commission, design and mint a new bill.

Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Margaret Sanger, Eleanor Roosevelt and Susan B. Anthony, include the list of potential candidates that could become the new face of the 20 dollar bill.
