Nah...put Olive Oyl.

If they put Farrah on the $10, especially that pic, there would be none in circulation.

The current Alexander Hamilton looks too much like Bill Kristol.

If it’s to be a woman, how about Ann-Margret in her heyday? Or Natalie Wood in West Side Story?

[Farmer Dean]

How about Betty Page?

For the longest time months would go by between sightings of $10 bills. People mostly had $20's from ATMs and when I got change I would mostly get two $5's rather than a $10.

Recently, however, I've seen more $10's than usual.

Putting on my aluminum hat and thinking conspiratorial I now believe that the Treasury has been seeding more $10's into the money stream in advance of putting a woman on the bill.

They don't want this to be as colossal a failure as when they put women's faces on the $1 coin.

If you think about it, we really don't need $10 bills. But if there's a woman on it, then the Feds will demand that we all start using them more.

Why does it have to be a woman? How about a great American. If we women truly want equal rights, then we compete as equals against men. If it’s Hillary, I will never use another $10 bill again.

All of this controversy is designed to demote the founding fathers. I liken this to ISIS destroying priceless historical sites. Take away the past and you only have the “Brave New World”.

How about Alexander Hamilton declaring himself to be a woman?

[Ancesthntr]

“why can’t a Republican congress put Ronald Reagan on a bill?”

Better to put him on the dime, displacing the liberals’ “god.”

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Yike !

[SunkenCiv]

How about forgetting about it?

...to honor the theme of democracy...

A box of rocks has spoken. Too stupid to recognize America is a Constitutional Republic.

[TribalPrincess2U]

She would demand it be at least a twenty.

Lizzie Borden

My vote goes to Aunt Esther. :-)

I vote for Aunt Jemima.
