It is going to be either Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman.
I think Grace Hopper would at least belong in the conversation.gut;1735943 wrote:Honestly I can't think of a white woman that is deserving, unless you open the door to singers/actresses.
Never heard of her, but after reading her Wiki I'd agree.queencitybuckeye;1735945 wrote:I think Grace Hopper would at least belong in the conversation.
gosh a ruddies of course you would endorse the perpetrator of the Trail of Tears and more than any President in our history directly responsible for the economic hardship of his times.queencitybuckeye;1735845 wrote:Thank you for the confirmation that I was right.
Just met someone who works at the Denver US Mint the other day. A bit of information, they are not allowed to put anyone on a bill/coin that is alive. The reason all the Presidential dollar coins that have gone out stopped at Reagan, it is because Carter/Clinton/Bushx2 etc are all still alive.sleeper;1736043 wrote:My guess it'll be a President's wife.
I'm aware of the rule. I'm thinking a President's wife from a significant President like Washington or Lincoln. Harriet Tubman is another favorite. Or maybe a woman who was prominent in getting the right to vote for women.jmog;1736098 wrote:Just met someone who works at the Denver US Mint the other day.

So, by law they won't put any woman currently alive on the bill.
I would think they, based on some liberal agenda, and because she well deserves it, that it would be Harriet Tubman with all the Underground Railroad work she did.

Unfortunately this. If it's a white woman, we will have to deal with the liberal media calling the US Mint a bunch of racists for not picking a black woman. I can already see it.like_that;1736145 wrote:It seems like Sacagawea is getting the shaft with her 1 dollar coins.
There are plenty of prominent women in US history that deserve to be on the bill, black or white. I'd prefer it to be a black women, because it would be 1 less thing we would hear bitching about.
I was thinking the same thing, but then this thought crossed my mind as well....4cards;1736150 wrote:...what about Amelia Earheart?

Lulz. The only thing I care about is the number on the bill, not who the fuck is on it, drama queen.QuakerOats;1736999 wrote:Ben Bernanke absolutely appalled by the idea of removing Hamilton from the $10 bill.
