I should know this but who is on the Coin for Chester A Arthur's spouse. I know the mint has Alice Paul listed but who is she. She is not his wife. Anybody know?

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

It appears they can do anything if it's politically correct.

<< <i>Man that sucks.
You could always contact the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. They "advise" on US coinage designs.

They aren't deviating. The use of Alice Paul is written into the text of the law that authorized the coins.
‘‘(D) DESIGN IN CASE OF NO FIRST SPOUSE.—In the
case of any President who served without a spouse—
‘‘(i) the image on the obverse of the bullion coin
corresponding to the $1 coin relating to such President
shall be an image emblematic of the concept of
‘Liberty’—
‘‘(I) as represented on a United States coin
issued during the period of service of such President;
or
‘‘(II) as represented, in the case of President
Chester Alan Arthur, by a design incorporating
the name and likeness of Alice Paul, a leading
strategist in the suffrage movement, who was
instrumental in gaining women the right to vote
upon the adoption of the 19th amendment and
thus the ability to participate in the election of
future Presidents, and who was born on January
11, 1885, during the term of President Arthur;
and
‘‘(ii) the reverse of such bullion coin shall be of
a design representative of themes of such President,
except that in the case of the bullion coin referred
to in clause (i)(II) the reverse of such coin shall be
representative of the suffrage movement.
Often people talk about what the mint does, but they are just obeying the law.
