The New 10 - #TheNew10

I attending a briefing at Dept of Treasury this morning officially announcing the plans to replace the current $10 bill with a new bill to feature a "notable woman" and Treasury's plan to use social media to solicit suggestions from the public.

The New 10 and #TheNew10

more background: New $10 bill to feature a woman | TheHill

I am leaning towards Rosa Parks or one of the early women elected to Congress or maybe Eleanor Roosevelt.

Who would be your choice(S)?

It is still not clear if the new bill will feature just the notable woman or both the woman and Alexander Hamiltion; apparently their are Hamiltonians out there fighting to keep him in the picture.

 

I am stoked they're finally going to put a woman on currency, but I wish they would've picked the $20 instead of the $10. I kind of like Hamilton, and Jackson was a raging fuckwad who deserves to be kicked off our money.

Rosa Parks would be all right, I guess, though I'm a little sketched at putting someone still alive on the money. I'd rather see Sojourner Truth or Harriet Tubman, though. Or Susan B. Anthony or Elizabeth Cady Stanton, maybe. Clara Barton or Elizabeth Blackwell or Muriel Siebert. Eleanor Roosevelt. Frances Perkins. Like that....

 

Pam Anderson.
In the red Baywatch bathing suit.

 

Jesus did she really? Boy is my face red. How the hell did I miss that?? OK, I feel a little better about her as a choice. Still don't like her for it as well as most of the others I mentioned.

 

That's the same thing rush Limbaugh said today.

 

I'm pretty sure Sacagawea and Susan B Anthony were female.

 

OK, on paper currency. And, since this isn't 1895, putting anyone on a dollar coin is of fairly negligible worth, IMO....

 

So glad you'd like to put a Canadian on your money, but do you think that's really appropriate?

 

Artificially inflated currency with no real value behind it, so that seems actually appropriate in that respect......

 

I nominate teacher-astronaut Christa McAuliffe.

 

has been bookmark, this seems like a very interesting thread

 

If it was a pic of Pamela Anderson on the $10 note I wouldnt spend them!

 

All this talk of about what Raging Fuckwads (TM) our early leaders were has me thinking that people have lost a fundamental understanding of how the US was founded and all the raging fuckwad things that were done in the name of making it great in comparison to the rest of the world.

This is the land of fuckwads, people. If you're not a fuckwad, it's because the fuckwads before you laid the foundation of pure awesomeness that has allowed you to coast through life.

...

I second Eleanor Roosevelt. If it's going to be a woman, she is one of the most qualified.

 

Hilary?

Jus sayin

 

Who? Oh, Monica Lewinsky's Boyfriend's Wife?

 

I say you should just take people off your money and load it with things like apple pie, more eagles and machine guns!!

America, Fuck Yeah!

 

As usual... you're missing the point, Chuck. Because you're not American. America is about ballsy assholes taking what they want:

Here's some Real American Money:

.25 Coin: Edward Higgins White (astronaut)
.50 Coin: Thomas Edison (inventor, industrialist, asshole)
$1 Coin: Marlon Brando (actor)
$1 Bill: John L. Sullivan (face-punching badass)
$2 Bill: John Moses Browning (inventor)
$5 Bill: Samuel Houston (war hero / badass)
$10 Bill: Henry Ford (industrialist)
$20 Bill: Audie Murphy (war hero / badass)
$50 Bill: Joseph Satriani (badass guitarist)
$100 Bill: Theodore Roosevelt (war hero / badass)

Best money ever!
