I would not mind seeing the US do what at least the Bank of England and the various note issuing banks in Scotland do; issue redesigned noted every decade or so with different people on them. US notes are boring. We used to have notes with battleships on them. This reminds me of the SNL skit where I think Eddie Murphy complained about Black History month being in Feb the shortest month of the year so once again it was the MAN sticking it to the blacks.

Some people unhappy that a woman will be featured on the $10 bill instead of the $20

D@mn right! Given that no woman in US History has accomplished anything on the scale of the least of them, it becomes not about merit, but about politically correct pandering.

There are no women in US History who did anything significant enough to be put on our currency. There just isn't.

Actually I like the idea but I doubt the left would like my suggestion.

The early American symbol often used to depict the colonies and early nation was often a Native American woman. Given the state of the nation today, I think it would be ideal.

And if you think for one minute this will un-piss off any woman who is pissed off about this, I have a bridge to sell you. Twenty bucks, today only.

Maybe if the woman does a good job on the ten, she could be promoted to the twenty. Everybody has to start somewhere.

The point is, the Democrats still love slavery fan Jackson, and they hate the Constitution and by extension the people who directly or indirectly created it, such as Hamilton.

If we’ve got to have a woman, better Harriet Tubman than the awful Eleanor Roosevelt. If they chose ER it would be a nod to the more “activist” First Ladies like Hillary and Michelle, and it would be a disgrace.

The feminists keep bitching their work is not as valued as that of a man.

Now they have something else to bitch about

Put Lena Dunham on it. That’s her price, and her worth.

the director of the Women On 20s campaign

I wonder how much that job pays. Does anyone remember seeing a job posting for the position?

I’m still down with any of the following:

1) Abigail Adams, who helped write the founding documents, and defined the active role of the first lady

2) Dorothea Dix, basically defined what it meant to be a nurse, headed the nurses in the Civil War

3) Hedy Lamarr, inventor of spread spectrum technology, essentially the 20th century version of Alexander Graham Bell

A $10 bill with a picture of Sarah Palin or Raquel Welch on it would be OK with me, but I know that is not going to happen.

Just more proof that our unbacked, fiat, paper Federal Reserve notes are just a political instrument.

Put Heidi Fleiss on the ten spot. We're getting screwed anyway, might as well make it obvious.

Everyone is missing the point in that this is all about erasing the Founders from American history.

Watch what happens next. Blacks will complain that there's no blacks on currency; then Hispanics, then transgendered...

It's never enough with leftists.

I don't know. Maybe an image of Mary L. Hayes, better known as Molly Pitcher, would certainly be tolerable.

Hamilton was the only non-president on a bill - but he was a great and formative thinker. The 20 might actually be better, because Jackson had some pretty indefensible opinions and had spent a lot of his early years attacking the then Spanish Florida. I’d rather keep Hamilton than Jackson.

If they’re serious about the so-called “War on Women” they should feature Mary Jo Kopechne - with color-changing ink that turns blue under water.

Make a 3 dollar bill and put Catlin Jenner’s picture on it.

Why not put Bruce Jenner on the $3 bill?

Breitbart.com’s Ben Shapiro: Redesign Is Just An Act To Make People “Feel Special.” Breitbart.com’s Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro dismissed the announcement by suggesting that it was because in this “moronic” country, “everyone deserves to feel special”:

In honor of our moronic country, let’s just put a mirror on the $10 bill, because everyone deserves to feel special.
