Woman on $10 bill by 2020

I heard on Colin Cowherd's radio show that they are replacing Alexander Hamilton on the $10 note by the year 2020.

They should make everyone happy and put Bruce/Kaitlyn Jenner on it... then it would have both a man and a woman (or neither).

 

They should use the allegorical Liberty from the 1896 $5 educational note. Cool design, returns to the idea of Liberty rather than a tribute to a specific person. And that's exactly why they won't.

 

2 names that have come up in discussions so far that i've heard are Harriett Tubman and Betsy Ross.

 

Someone on another forum suggested the same thing and even put Jenner's image on a $10 bill: http://forums.wheresgeorge.com/show...-woman-is-in&p=5946037&viewfull=1#post5946037.


On another note, a poster on there made a comment about putting women on currency that was so bad, so out of line that his comment and all quotations of it have been removed: http://forums.wheresgeorge.com/show...-woman-is-in&p=5945796&viewfull=1#post5945796. It is rare for the proprietor of this site to edit and "censor" a post like that. I do not even know what was said. The site proprietor took things a step further by demanding a public apology.

The individual in question refused and stood his ground citing the Constitution (to which he was told does not apply on such a medium of discourse): http://forums.wheresgeorge.com/show...-woman-is-in&p=5946128&viewfull=1#post5946128. The site proprietor subsequently banned this member for an undisclosed length of time.

The point in mentioning this is, what kind of sentiments will this bring out in some people in the future? Is the idea of putting a woman on currency again so bad for some people that arguments and disputes will ensue about doing so, either now or in the future? Only time will tell, I guess.

 

Attempting to not get super political (and sorry mods if this crosses the boundary.)
The First Amendment allows Freedom of Speech without punishment from the government; it does not entitle one to freedom of speech without criticism/backlash from others, in this case the forum moderator. No one is infringing upon his rights by banning him, so his citation of the Constitution doesn't exactly apply IMO.


On the original subject, I think this is great that we are getting female figureheads on paper money. Though I heard that many people would rather replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 on account of his actions towards the native population at the time. Thoughts?

 

I will counter that by saying that it does apply because conversely he is asserting his right to 1A by not giving a false, coerced, hollow apology and staying true to his conviction knowing he may be banned.

Call me crazy but I'd rather talk to a straight shooter than the hollow man.

 

Fair enough and I can see what you're getting at. I guess I was commenting more on the censorship/banning part than the demand of his apology.

 

I like the idea of a commemorative note based on the educational series of 1896 circulating concurrently with the regular notes.

 

Only people who have made significant/important differences to our country should deserve an image on our currency. Not someone who had a sex change, or makes music albums. Please no. Don't.

 

With all the political and social-media-fueled banter aside on the reasoning and decisions behind the change, I am focused on the change itself as I follow this story.

Collection potential of the introductory issue in 2020 is extremely appealing to me. The face on a bill hasn't been changed since 1929 (Jackson / Cleveland), and this will also be an anniversary issue (100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment), giving the bill quite an appealing scope to the collector in me.

What I love about initial issues in US Mint currency, is the possibilities for limited variation and low production (hard date) results.

I for one will be in line at the bank. Anyone else with me?

 

Yep, also see the image posted here: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/hamilton-to-be-dropped-from-10-for-woman.265198/ Closed that other topic as we are discussing the issue in both Coin Chat and Paper Money, and US dollar bills are made from ... hmm ... cotton paper.

The Bankers like Jackson on the $20 with all he tried to put them out they came back stronger an American dream story for them
Alexander Hamilton on the $10 now looks like he will share the space with who they don't know and I think most Americans don't care
Its time for the $3.00 commemorative note to keep every one happy

 

I guess the bottom line is that I think it's a great idea to feature women on currency that represent the country in a variety of ways. But I am not for removing someone else already being honored. There two aren't mutually exclusive.

 

mickey and minnie mouse ?

 

I think every few years we should change who's on the currency and put more historical figures that Americans know. Like the Mario Bros., Zelda, etc. I think they can take a poll and get all the good ones. But we should start out with Minnie, an American icon.

 

Knowing that it's a FIAT Currency, but, I wish for a JFK $10 bill.

 

I think they want a woman on the $10

 

Here's my suggestion:
