    Seems like I hardly ever get any $10s anymore.
    Maybe by 2020 they won't even be used anymore so it won't matter whose mug is on them.

    You need to change the thread title from $20 to $10

    Miss Liberty, for sure.

    Of the real people on that list, I'd say Clara Barton.

    The choice will be based on political considerations and will be either a feminist or a minority.

    For those who would like to have Hillary Clinton on the double saw buck, might I suggest Bonnie Parker instead. If you are going to select someone who has no respect for the law, why not go for someone who had no pretenses about her intentions?

    Blythe Masters......former JPMorgan head of commodity trading. Who better to be on a FRN debt-money note. She is generally credited for creating the modern credit default swap.

    Good choice that most people would find satisfactory.

    Barbarella or even Barb Wire? Fictional characters shouldn't offend anyone. Either one should get a rise out of Old Hickory.

    All portrayals of people on coins and currency are based on political considerations. There is no way around that.

    Women weren't even allowed to vote until 1919. If you were a woman and wanted to be heard/make a difference, being a feminist came with the territory. Unless you wanted to give up and go back to homemaking the first time a man said: "Gee, you're a pretty lady but I worry about you messing around with all of those lab chemicals. What if you catch your skirt on fire?"

    I really like her but it's not appropriate to put her on a US bill.

    I have a better idea. Let's replace all the FRN's with a Gilligan's Island theme.

    Thurston Howell III: $100
    The Professor: $50
    Ginger: $20
    Skipper: $10
    Lovey: $5
    Mary Ann: $2 (in an effort to revitalize the deuce)
    Gilligan: $1

    Any objections?

    (Sorry if someone else suggested this. I haven't read the entire thread, and I assume there's a $10 thread out there somewhere, and for the record, the FRN's shouldn't be changed.)

    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    Isn't mandating a woman on our $10 bill a form of reverse discrimination?

    I do not recall our placing the current men on our currency mandating only men at the time?

    I'm not trying to be contrarian or a pain in the rear here, but it's frustrating to see some pooh-pooh anything that doesn't have a white male on it as PC pandering. But I also realize anytime a real person is put on our money, there's going to be controversy. All the more reason to stick to Laby Liberty or eagles.

    Well to be truthful they never even should've started with real people. George Washington himself was against such things.

  • Michelle Obama:

    Her husband save Detroit

    Has an impeccable RBF

    Kicked that white racist Winston Churchill out of the White House...

    If you call Winston Churchill a WWII hero, then Joseph Stalin is too. I'd expect her to kick his head out the window as well. You want Joseph Stalin in the White House???

  • The problem is, if they pick Michelle Obama, she has a RBF. However, if they put a pile of dog crap on the bill, it might help her appearance. I don't know, it's just too early to tell right now.

    This is a big deal and is not something that you just jump into.

    Best to do it in phases by starting with a woman who used to be a man.
