Treasury Department to Put a Woman on the $10 Bill in 2020

[KRonn]

Bills featuring Hamilton — the nation's first treasury secretary and creator of its monetary system — will remain in circulation, and an unspecified proportion of new $10 bills will continue to feature him, Lew said. 

He'll still be on some of the bills anyway, whatever percentage they come up with. In this article it didn't suggest  who the woman might be. I wonder who will get the nod?

[Valmy]

Wow what an admirably logical move by the Treasuring department. Better than having the Chase Manhattan CEO on them in any case

See Canadians have no problem finding important female figure that truly contributed to Canada's history to put on their money.  And by 2020, that requirement about living person might not be a problem.

What exactly did Elizabeth II contribute to Canada's history?

that was sarcasm
there are many Canadian historical figures we could have put on our money, but our anglo friends absolutely want to see the Queen everywhere

Just consider yourself lucky we don't want to see her naked. 

well, that new princess...

[Valmy]

The only reason she will be getting naked is to have her diaper changed

Well, shit, I forgot about that one

I say we get rid of humans from the bills and celebrate America's other fauna. Buffalo, coyotes, eagles, turkeys, cougars, etc.

Better yet, do what Hong Kong does.  Outsource the whole note printing operation to private banks.  They bear all the costs, and get free advertisement.  They can put their stuff on the money.

This was done once.  It was a disaster.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcat_banking

Right, because unregulated and outright fraudulent private banks are equivalent to large, well-regulated private banks.

There is probably a secret Treasury rule that the irony of Jackson's mug on a Federal Reserve note must be maintained.

He'd be so pissed if he was alive. It's amusing.

How do you find out if a bank is underegulated and outright fraudulent?  When there's a disaster. Or is Washington Mutual an example of one of these well-regulated banks?

Woman on the $10, MLK on the $20 

We will only be allowed to have Presidents on money in the future. The woman will be Hillary Clinton

Not a bad choice. First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State, President... quite a resume.

Did you sleep through 2008?

I've made my peace with a woman being on paper money at some point.  The irony of removing Hamilton is pretty galling, though.  And if they move forward with that Harriet Tubman proposal I swear that will give kids nightmares.  Don't get me wrong, she was an awesome lady and deserving of the recognition but Lord she had a face for radio.

That's not what we do.  Only the actual design of the notes and printing are left to the private banks.  How many notes they can print is heavily regulated. 



It says, HSBC promises to pay the bearer on demand at its office here 100 HK dollars, by order of the board of directors.

The moral of her story is, if you're going to be kidnapped by Indians, it's best to come from a family of psychos.
