This is silly. No woman has ever really accomplished anything noteworthy in the history of the country. Rosa Parks?? HAHAHA. There are thousands of men more deserving.

A woman will appear on redesigned $10 bill in 2020 - The Washington Post

Will it be Susan B. Anthony or Harriet Tubman? Eleanor Roosevelt or Rosa Parks? Or another important woman from American history?

These will be among the names the nation ponders after the Obama administration’s announcement late Wednesday that a woman will be featured on the $10 bill, the first time in well over a century that a female portrait will grace the United States’ paper money.

The redesigned bill will be unveiled in 2020 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the right of women to vote. The Treasury Department is launching a massive public campaign to solicit suggestions through social media and town halls for what the bill should look like and who should be on it. The only requirements for candidacy are that the woman be deceased and embody the theme of the bill’s new look: “Democracy.”
 
Looks like the OP still believes in cooties.

So Eleanor Roosevelt was just a housewife...

I'll be happy to accept any $10 bills he throws away in his righteous indignation.
 
I see this is being done for nothing more than PC politics.
you have to have a decent reason to actually do this and politics is not a good enough reason.

there are also women already on coinage.

Do you think any woman in American history deserves it?
 
And Harriet Tubman was just a train conductor...

Yeah... but she wasn't Eleanor Roosevelt either.

Dolly Madison would be a nice choice, but we don't know what she looked like.

Lady liberty would be good.
 
I don't get why the $10 is being chosen? This internet campaign to put a woman on the $20 made sense.

I mean, Jackson was an asshole.
 
Whatever. Big whoop, as long as it spends who really cares.
 
Dolly Madison would be a nice choice, but we don't know what she looked like.
We don't? I looked at the Wikipedia. There's a few engravings of her. Or do you mean there's no photos?

Lady liberty would be good.
There's been "tons of women" on US banknotes already -- Lady Liberty, Lady Justice and a pile of various allegorical unnamed women. What's not been featured is an actual woman outside of Martha Washington on a few of the $1 notes in the 1800s.

Ignorance of the history of your country is inexcusable.

And that is just a small sample. I usually ignore obvious trolling, but this was a fun exorcize.

Gee, you sure are edgy. :roll:
 
I'd love to see Admiral Grace Hopper on a bill, but there are many deserving candidates.

AS a navy vet and computer lover, she would be my choice. She is simply so totally ****ing cool.
 
Sharon Christa McAuliffe. The OP is half the human she was.

sounds good to me.

Way back in the early 80's I was in a computer class at a community college and she was supposed to speak to our class, but got sick :(

But, she was a true pioneer, the company I work for now does a lot of work with the Grace Hopper foundation for women in data processing and programming.

I would love to see a series of bills with famous American scientists on it, Neil Armstrong, Norman Borlaug, Richard Feynman, Einstein, Carl Sagan, Margaret Mead, Linus Pauling, etc.

There is a great set of alternative currency designs that are just so amazing, here is the 50.

The only downside is that the $10 dollar bill will only be worth $7.70.
