Harriet Tubman on the $25 Bill

The Issue

Many call for Harriet Tubman to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.

I say, instead of eliminating Jackson, why not just issue a new bill--the $25--and put her on it?

We already have the quarter. Why not the $25 bill? Twenty-five dollars is a very common amount. Why not allow buyer/payers to accommodate that amount with just a singular bill instead of needing two or more?

Also, it could allow the government to raise revenue by charging an initial-limited-release profit (if that would be legal, that is). The first year, issue, maybe, 50 to 100 million units and charge $27.50 to $30 per unit and use that "tax" profit to start a fund for the reduction of student debt or some other benevolent purpose.
