 Personally I'm glad. But, what they need to do is to switch the person on the $20 Bill. Why? Because this person was responsible for thousands of lives and put many into concentration camps in Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama too It was called the Indian Removal Act. Can you imagine having another Hitler on a bill?

Why not a hundred... Most of my friends would never know difference anyway be because they are rarely seen or used! ;)

As politically neutral it shouldn't matter who is on our money. But, it seems a moot point as the world moves closer to a cashless society. Some countries are already preparing to do away with hard currency.

I imagine it will be someone connected to civil rights in some way-- Sojourner Truth, Harriett Tubman, Rosa Parks, Susan B. Anthony (although doesn't she have a coin?).  

 

Or it could be someone known to be the "first" woman in some other area-- Sally Ride (first U.S. woman astronaut), or Ameila Earhart. Also thought of Sanda Day O'Conner (first female Supreme Court justice) and Madeleine Albright (first female Secretary of State), but they are both still alive, so highly unlikely.

 

Don't some other countries cast a much wider net and use famous athletes, scientists, etc. on their currency?

Most of the current faces on currency are people who were instrumental in the founding of the United States and it's infrastructure. I would guess they would choose a woman who also fit that criteria. Probably a small number of women to choose from.

You might as well put a woman on the money, they already handle it anyway

I can't help it. I deep into politics and that is why I'm voting for Jesus in 2016.

If I were in the world, I would want Eleanor Roosevelt.

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin also are or were on both coin and paper money.

 

Putting the woman on the $10 instead of $20 is a positive move.  People will have a $10 more often than $20.  Plus 2 $10s = $20.

They need to get rid of Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. Replace it with John Quincy Adams or Fredrick Douglas or Harriet Tubman

The new bill will happen in the year 2020 to commemorate the 100 yr anniversary of the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote.  A couple of women come to mind, Alice Paul and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

[Qapla]

I was thinking more along the lines of Ellen Degeneres, Oprah, Sally Jesse .........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, wait, they have to be dead to be on the bill .........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Works for me

I told a sister this, that a lot of brothers don't know or don't want to know me, yet a lot of sisters do. I'm glad we see eye to eye sis. 

 

 Stay cool in Texas

A woman for the $10 bill?

Lot's of good candidates out there.

Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Novak, the list goes on and on.

   

[Precision]

Marilyn Monroe ?  Maybe on a $3 Bill singing Happy Birthday to JFK    

 

Definitely Rosa Parks or Pocahontas on a $10 bill.
