There have been a few articles recently about the possibility of putting the first women on US paper currency. The discussion has been driven by a few polls and by an off the cuff question asked by a little girl of the President a few days ago. I think the idea is worth exploring and I was wondering who would be best suited for the position. Of all the names I've seen tossed out Sally Ride, Susan B. Anthony, and Rosa Parks seemed the most deserving. If I was forced to pick I think Susan B. Anthony is best suited because of her broad and enduring impact on American history and because she better fits chronologically with our current choices.

I put up the options I'd read tossed around the most with one or two of my own choosing but feel free to add in your own. I also recognize that this would force the displacement of someone else from our currency and if I had to pick I don't think I'd be too sorry to see Jackson go.

Thank you for not including Ayn Rand like the poll in the link... :doh
 
Molly Pitcher or Clara Barton.
 
Until a woman becomes president and is worthy of respect for the job she did no woman should be put on a dollar.

Franklin? Hamilton?
 
None of the above. George Washington belongs on the dollar bill, absolutely no reason to change that.

Exactly. Washington belongs on the dollar bill now and forever.

This is actually true.

Bills should only be dead presidents.

I picked other. I do not think we should change the dollar.I think maybe replacing the portrait on a ten or twenty would be a better option

. I think for the woman it should be Harriet Tubman.Not only was she an abolitionist but she actively risked her life and freedom to free slaves,and she spied for the union during the civil war.

I do not think being first lady, flying a plane,or being NASA astronaut should be qualifications for who we put on our money.If we were going to put a face of civil rights for blacks it should be MLK jr, not Rosa Parks.Which I do advocate that we put MLK jr on our currency.
 
Condoleezza Rice
 
Why do you hate Clinton?

I vote Jessica Alba. If nothing else I would be less likely to part with my cash and save money :2razz:
 
I don't think anyone but the Founders should be pictured on money, really.


But that's just my personal view.... I'd remove Lincoln from it as well.
 
Removing Lincoln--that's sure to help bring the Nation together.
Maybe take Lincoln off Mount Rushmore too--replace him with Jefferson Davis .
