I picked a Cherokee because it was beyond despicable what Jackson did to them.
I've even heard most Cherokees will not accept a $20 bill, have to give them 2 $10 all though I'm sure this is just folklore.
There are better people to put on the $20 than Jackson. For choosing a Cherokee, I would have chosen Sequoyah.

They will gladly take your $20 at their casino in NC.

Mary G. Ross should be held up as an inspiration to both Native Americans and women, but for some reason she's largely forgotten. And Sequoyah is certainly an important figure in the history of his people.
But given that John Ross faithfully served under Jackson in the War of 1812 and was later told to pack his bags and head to Oklahoma with the rest of his people, I think it would be most fitting for him to replace Old Hickory on the $20 bill.
This country is so twisted when it comes to celebrities that it wouldn't surprise me if there was a movement to put Kim Kardashian on the $100 bill for what she symbolizes.

My wife's 25 year old cousin came to visit us and I had a couple $2 bills laying about. She thought they were fake. I was a kid when they were first produced, but even then I don't remember seeing many in circulation. I also had a paper route as a kid and a $2 would have been a perfect way to pay. I never received one in payment.
The 2$ usage may be regional, but I know in my area we never see them. We also never see the $1 coins here. I've even asked for them at the bank and they don't have them. The only place I could get $1 coins was the post office vending machines (which they have removed) and transit stations such as Amtrak @ Penn station NYC.
Up into the 90's the Philadelphia subway system was still widely using Susan B. Anthony dollar coins. Perhaps because they have a mint in Philly? I think I have some Susan coins minted in 1998.
Congratulations on being the oldest City-Data poster! The first United States federal $2 note was issued in 1862! That calls for a celebration!
Or maybe you mean the last $2 bills, the Federal Reserve Notes that have been issued since 1976...
