Our current treasury secretary (an Obama guy) has vowed to remove Alexander Hamilton from the $10 bill and replace him with a woman. Who do YOU think it should be??? Considering current events, I think I have the perfect solution........ Leave Alexander Hamilton on the bill but change his name to Alexandria Hamilton. By doing so we would then have the first trans-tender currency  Wish I could take credit for this, but I heard it on the way to work this morning. |

This was on the news about a month ago on Detroit TV, about a female on a bill, but they showed a mockup bill with "Rosa Parks" on it. Don't quote me on this, but I thought they were showing a $20 bill, I may be wrong.

As long as the chosen person meets the same criteria of the previous choices, no problem. Not really sure what that criteria is but, pretty sure the person has to be dead and having made a significant contribution to the good of the country. Oprah would not qualify IMHO. Rosa Parks, maybe. But, no matter who is chosen, some will not like it. I'm thinking we should stay with former Presidents but, that's just my opinion. Some day a woman will be elected and once she's dead, she can have the ten dollar bill.

If it has to be a woman, I'm leaning towards Sofia Vergara. She's very inspiring.

If you drop the bill, would it usually end up face down? |

Time for some elaboration on my earlier brief post...
I am probably more progressive than some on this board, but I just feel there is some "heritage" value to our currency. No doubt there are worthy female candidates for the change if one is made, but if political correctness is the primary reason for the proposed change I just feel that is bunk.
Guess we'll all see what happens...

We had a female on our currency once? Know who it was?
Martha Washington
She was on the one-dollar bill for a few years way back when

? I remember Sacagaweha on a $2 coin I think. But me don't remember no Martha on a bill. There is quite a bit of the 70's I don't remember though  |

It's an interesting topic but it has been a long, long time since you could get a woman on a ten dollar bill. These days I'm sure I couldn't get a woman on a whole lot more than that.  |

The $1 bill has remained George Washington through the years.

Today: Front: Lincoln remains; Back: Changed to the Lincoln Memorial in 1929.

I think the one to be deserving on the bill, is Hilary Clinton, because all the things she had to endure with Bill's situation and she limped through as the first lady.

I think the US should follow Canada's lead on currency. We have replaced our 1 and 2 dollar bills with Loonies and Toonies (coins), and eliminated pennies. You don't need to worry about Toonies because you don't have 2 dollar bills in circulation. You should put Hilary Clinton's face on the penny, put Caitlyn Jenner's face on the Loonie, then get rid of the penny.  |

Is everything just rounded up to the nickel ? Is their any truth to the rumor you guys are putting Beiber on the 3 dollar coin ? |

alexander hamilton was not a president as he was born in Nevis in the Caribbean
Back then if you werent born here you could not be president
some say the reason for that clause was to keep him from becoming President
even tho it was Burr who killed him later
I have no problem with eliminating pennies from circulation and nickels also
They cost more to make than they are worth anyway
Leave the damn paper money alone I say
Franklin was ahead of his time, f...ked his way thru Paris on our dime
wrote what he want he was the Fox news of his day

If $0.72, you pay $0.70; If $0.73, you pay $0.75. If credit or debit, you pay $0.73. We gave Bieber to you. Once he's dead, you can put him on your $3 bill. Or sooner, if you insist. |

I like Hamilton too, he was a capitalist that set up our monetary and banking system. When Burr challenged him to the duel Hamilton thought it was stupid but he had to accept. He then pointed his pistol at the ground and fired. Burr then took careful aim and killed him.
