  2. Sure, I threw my John Hancock on there. Why not, eh?
    Or you could wait a few years and see if Billary might, pardon the pun, fit the bill.

  3. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. For a number of years this story about slavery was the second most possessed book, after the Bible, in the U.S.

  5. I can work with that. A ten dollar whore on a ten dollar bill. Makes sense to me.

  7. “4. Has influenced more people than any other woman in American history male or female.”
    Err… I’d put my name on it anyway, but I’d like it if grammar were better.

  9. I always thought the pictures were of past presidents. If there has been no past presidents then why change for the sake of political/racial/gender correctness?

  10. Captain: Canadians have had a woman on their currency for about 60 years. Are you thinking that if we voted to also have a woman on the USD it might help the exchange rate?

  11. I would rather appreciate Ayn Rand’s likeness being on the US $10 dollar bill. However, since it is the Obama administration I suspect that they would prefer someone along the lines of Alexandra Kollontai.

  15. Hell yes! If there is going to be a woman on the 10 dollar bill,
    let it be a woman like Rand and not a communist like Angela Davis
    like president Merkin Muffley wants!

  16. @Warren & Texas Canuck: Franklin, Hamilton, Sacagawea (failed $1 coin) and I believe Susan B. Anthony (women’s right to vote) might have been on another (failed) 1$ coin. None of them Presidents. For money of value less than $1, there has been a variety of people, some of them Presidents, and animals (i.e. buffalo).
    There are many people of merit, mostly men but some women too, who have played a role in American history. But since this modification is really about political correctness, being a women of merit will never be enough.
    You must be a “minority” & a women to qualify.

  18. I want king Barry on the sawbuck because like him, it isn’t worth anything and it is kept afloat with pure BS.

  19. Rand is far too rational and liberty oriented to signify anything that the current administration stands for. Obama would rather someone like Robert Mugabe be the new face of American anti-exceptualism.

  20. “You must be a “minority” & a women to qualify.”
    Lady Liberty is the only Cupric-American, therefore a minority. Honestly, is there a better choice, one more recognizable and revered, than the Statue of Liberty?

  21. No, thanks. Her philosophy would justify pure selfishness, so she really is a better emblem of the ruling class- especially Republican and Democrat Congresscreatures- who have raped the Republic for the last quarter century- than America itself.
    A far better tribute – although difficult to capture in a portrait of a single historical person – would recognize the American mother – who truly formed the character of the grand America of its first 200 or so years through their love, dedication, wisdom, godliness and familial self-sacrifice, and still do, though in reduced numbers, today.

  24. The original proposal was to change the $20 bill (Andrew Jackson) for Harriet Tubman, a black female. The Obama administration couldn’t understand why conservatives were not more upset about this (the object being to ggenerate outrage to crowd the most recent admin scandal off the front page). Finally some historically literate person, presumably not part of the current administration, since no historical knowledge has yet been demonstrated from that quarter, made the remark that most Republicans and conservatives had no objection to the founder of the Democratic Party being replaced by a Republican woman known for leading black slaves out of bondage…
