Was Darwin added to the $20 note because his beard makes it harder to forge?

Drat. [another flourish of the hand] Charles Darwin.

I reckon Darwin is saying "There's no way she laid that!"

i so wish that american currency had darwin's face on it -- if only to hear the anguished howls of american jesus freaks!

yes George managed to get the currency and denomination incorrect..it's the £10 note not the $20 one. I have heard it said that the face on the £20 note - that of Edward Elgar - was chosen because his big moustache was difficult to forge, so maybe he was thinking of that.

American currency has Masonic symbols on it, doesn't it?
