Sojourner Truth, perhaps?
Can we get a scientist? Or an engineer? Or at least an astronaut?
Yes. It is DEFINITELY winding some people up.
Think of all the harm those people are not doing with that time.
I still want Rosa Parks on the Dime.
As for the 10. I vote for anyone not named Ronald Reagan
My vote:
Harriet Tubman was a badass.
To be fair, the Treasury announcement, if it can be called such a thing, says the new $10 bill “will feature” a woman. World class trolling: an image of Hillary pouring coffee for Bill.
Lot’s of good people to choose for the $10 but save Harriet Tubman for the $20 so we can call it the T-Dub.
If we had to replace one I’d prefer they replace Jackson… Hamilton started the treasury. Not that he was a saint either.
Is there enough room on the backside of the bill?
The idiots who would say that would say that anyway. It’s not like they have to prepare idiotic statements in advance; they’ve got them all queued up and ready to go at a moment’s notice.
I think it’s worth pointing out the irony that this was originally suggested for the $20, and they’re doing it for the $10. I guess because there’s not a $15.60 denomination.
Phoebe’s my choice
Mary Harris Jones?
Ah, so standing/walking Liberty?
I think that there’s an argument to be made for Jackson to stay on the $20.
The man was ruthless and morally despicable, advancing a variety of egregious policies under a banner of crass populism and bellicose expansion. All this is true.
However, the $20 is (at least for the moment) about the best denomination for moving questionable money in modest quantities(anything smaller is too bulky, anything larger is suspicious, and having a Swiss banker or a New York broker handle it for you is Jeffersonian elitism, not the malfeasance of the common man!); and accepted officially and…otherwise…in more places than even the Jacksonian Manifest Destiny nuts would have dreamed.
While it has plenty of legitimate uses, the $20 is the finest bill America prints for modest-scale malfeasance and the transactions associated with it; and the dollar remains among the currencies most broadly accepted and distributed outside their native habitat.
Is there a more suitable place for an ethically dis-inhibited, crudely populist, wildly expansionistic, and deeply criminal president than the world’s finest instrument for conducting ethically and/or legally murky transactions on a modest scale?
It’s the same sort of thing that makes having the FBI’s headquarters named after J Edgar Hoover so appropriate.
Is that definition up-to-date?
Seriously…this would be awesome. But they’ll probably put Hilary on it after the coronation.
Waaaaaaaaaiiiit a minute. I thought we were talking about treasury bills and not bringing back Dubbya?
Sally Ride, anyone?
She’s recent, but still…
