There's no doubt the voice of collectors can influence future designs of coin and currency by speaking up here.
SUBMIT YOUR IDEAS TO THE U.S. TREASURY HERE
You only get a short line to write on. I expressed my desire for no real people on coins or currency and to use Liberty or beautiful artwork.

Don't you understand that without Hamilton and his reforms of our monetary and credit systems that there might not have been a United States of America? The U.S. monetary system was in a shambles after the Revolutionary War. The Continental Currency was worthless, and we were reneging on our debts. We coulded and didn't even pay the soldiers who risked their lives in the Revolutionary War. They were paid with worthless money. Under Hamilton's leadership U.S. debt became the early 19th century's version of a triple A rated security.
Washington, Lincoln, Hamilton and Franklin should all be retained on the currency. They all founded or saved this country in one way or the other.
The case for keeping Jackson there is weak. He was an overrated president who brought this country to financial ruin. Grant played a very important military role during the Civil War, but he too was a weak president who could be rotated out of the cycle.
risks to further a good cause, without the benefit of a personal fortune, political influence,
military experience, powerful connections, or the inherent benefits and safety net of being
a middle-aged white man. Her example of quiet personal courage in the face of adversity
is something that can inspire every American.
Yes, this is what I submitted.

<< <i>What is this thing about Ms. Liberty on everything? >>
I don't see the need for Liberty on everything either but if they insist on a woman she's my only choice. As far as the other presidents, it's not about them, it's about the precedent that seems to
be set by the treasury. It seems most Americans are not happy in general with our politicians of late and the feeling, unfortunately, seems to extend to taint all politicians, good or bad. I think we
need inspiration & appreciation of the good things of America. Pictures of the faces of those who made it happen don't tell the story of their eras whereas nice art would do a better job. I appreciate
their contributions to our nation but let's get something to look at beyond portraits.
To take it to another level, if portraits remain then a brief history of the person on the front should be printed on the back that explains their greatness and indisputable contributions, but we all
know how that goes... It gets ignored and the things many of our current generation want to remember them for is having slaves and growing marijuana. That's the fault of parenting and
schools but that's another argument for another forum.

Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
In the US, many of the main devices on our money have been adopted by political parties and states for less than the greater good of the nation.
Dems and Pubs seem to think it enhances their status to have "their guy" on the money, and for some odd reason, Virginia legislature seems to think the nickel is their territory.
Miss Liberty is something we all can claim as our symbol, as would be true with Eagles, stars and shields. At least with those symbols there is no one group using our money for their personal bill boards.

Good choice and it shouldn't be controversial or politically motivated.

I think Kate Smith deserves some consideration. She boosted American morale at a time when it was really needed.
Maybe by putting her on the $10 we can resurrect those good times? And she was a larger woman. Maybe she can be a
role model for the girls and women that actually eat real food.
And Jackson fans, fear not -- they will not re-name that city in North Florida to "Tubmanville"

And Florence Nightingale for her contribution to nursing.
The more I think about it I'm favoring a series of historical women that change every year or two.

<< <i>Amelia Earhart?????????????????? >>
Why? Have you ever read a biography of Amelia Earhart? She was overrated.

Yes, I agree. Harriet Tubman faced down far worse foces than than the KKK of 1960s. If Harriet Tubman had been captured while she was leading escaped slaves out of slavery, she would have been quickly executed.
<< <i>Hamilton should stay on the $10, and then Harriet Tubman should replace Andrew "Trail of Tears" Jackson on the $20.
And Jackson fans, fear not -- they will not re-name that city in North Florida to "Tubmanville" >>
Jackson should be replaced on the $20, but the city should stay as "Jacksonville." Jackson took Florida from the Spanish without U.S. Government authorization, but that was actually a good thing.
<< <i>Rosa Parks is admirable, but to honor her and not Martin Luther King, Jr. simply because they wanted to put a woman on the bill seems strange. >>
I am all in favor of putting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the $20 bill.

Keep the $10 as is
Make those top vote getters into a series of $2 commemorative notes. Then put the top seller or vote getter on the next $100 when it needs a redo
I have no note books, har, so I can't suggest any past renditions of liberty to re-use. If you got the links for some, post them.
I'm sure that regardless of the outcome, given the dumbing down of America, Hamilton's contribution to America's development will fade even further once removed from the $10. Beyond the presidents, few people even learn about the roles others played during America's founding. For example, ask your kids or grandkids what Sam Adams, Richard Henry Lee, Aaron Burr or John Jay contributed to America's development...I'm sure you'll get blank stares.
Not sure why Jackson or Grant remain on the $20 and $50 for reasons mentioned earlier.

<< <i>More than one in four Americans are hoping the soon-to-be redesigned $10 bill will feature Eleanor Roosevelt, according to a McClatchy-Marist poll released Wednesday.
The poll showed the former first lady in first place with 27 percent, trailed by African-American abolitionist Harriet Tubman, who received 17 percent of 1,249 votes, and Native American explorer Sacagawea, who received 13 percent.
Who will replace Alexander Hamilton on the bill has been the subject of much debate since Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced in June it will be the first in more than a century to feature a woman.
The announcement followed a social media campaign "Women on 20s." The government then announced it would put a woman on the 10-dollar bill, spawning another online discussion led by the hashtag "#TheNew10."
At a breakfast with reporters last week, Lew said the administration had since received about 1.5 million pieces of feedback from the public on the bill's redesign, with inputs ranging from tweets and retweets to handwritten letters.
Other finalists in the McClatchy-Marist poll were women's rights activist Susan B. Anthony and pilot Amelia Earhart, who each received 11 percent of the vote. Former Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor garnered a distant 4 percent.
Roosevelt had a larger lead among women, earning 33 percent of the votes after they were broken down by gender. When votes were sorted according to race, Tubman led among African Americans with 47 percent, results showed.
Lew said the administration is taking the summer to listen to the public's feedback, but he would not say when he would announce the final design.
The bill, which will be the first designed under a new theme of democracy, is set to be released in 2020. >>

Why is Aaron Burr on this list? The man was an opportunist and a murderer. I suppose you could credit him as one of the first machine politicians, but he doesn't rate with the rest of the people who are on that list.

There is not room for Kim K. on the bill we have now....we would have to go back to the LARGE size bill!!!

Yeah-I could go for that, too. Those would be my first choice of all. I think some of the designs on Series 692 of the Military Payment Certificates or the unissued Series 701 would be outstanding as well.
