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.

Well said. 100% agree. The new $10 will be refused by me with a request for two $5 or a combination of singles in its place.

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

I guess Tubman would be a twofer, woman and minority, although I would perhaps go for Edith Wharton or Emily Dickinson. Eleanor Roosevelt is so overrated.

There’s a glass ceiling. She’ll never make it past the 100.

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.

Nellie Tayloe Ross: First woman governor (WY), first woman to head the US Mint.
At least she accomplished something, and she was a democrat, so that should calm them down about party, and the firsts should keep the feminazis calm.

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.
