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 administrations 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 bills new look: Democracy.
Americas currency makes a statement about who we are and what we stand for as a nation, said Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, who has the authority to make the decision. . .

Ditto there.
I do carry a bit of cash, including some coins - 2 of each denomination - dunno know why for sure.
The incentive to use a plastic card is because ours is the VISA for Southwest Airlines. We were able to fly 4 family members from Calif. to a Colorado wedding free, this past Oct.
It felt so good to be able to do that - more so because 2 teen-aged grandkids had never flown before. They loved it.
I use the card for EVerything, from 50 cents and up.
Ours is paid in full, monthly, also.

I hope it’s Susan B. Anthony, she was staunchly pro-life.

As long as she is an ex president I don’t care, oh wait there are no female ex presidents yet.

Although I have the full array of credit cards (including Visa; MasterCard; and American Express), I usually use my Discover Card. That is because of their Cashback Bonus plan. (They actually have several different plans; but the one I use pays two percent cash back on everything. And I especially like the "everything" part. It really simplifies matters.)

I vote for Harriet Tubman. Susan B. Anthony couldn’t even make it on the $1 coin.

If they want currency to move faster through the marketplace creating less inflation in our economy, put Hillary on the $10 bill.
Then anyone getting a Hillary bill will want to get her face out of their wallet as fast as can be!
