Andrew Jackson?

The central bank of Sweden is finishing up a three year plan to modernize their paper money and coins. Included in the new money is a 100 krona bill, which is roughly equivalent to a twenty dollar bill in the U.S.   




When you look at the face on our twenty dollar bill - Andrew Jackson - you realize just how far behind the Swedes we are.  I mean, he's not bad, but who did the Swedish Central Bank choose to put on their bill?   






Yes, that's right. Greta Garbo! Star of "Anna Karenina" and "Camille" and one of the first big stars of the silent screen era. Makes Andrew Jackson look like Homer Simpson, doesn't it.  I'm just saying.
