Why not Lady Liberty? She was good enough to be on US coins until the early 20th century ... coincidentally until the so-called ‘progressive’ era began.

Rather than wasting time on someone who won't ever be on the bill, I would find someone who actually could be on the bill. One of the earliest representative symbols of America was a native American indian woman.

Columbia would be good



I also like "Victory" at the sop of the Sailors and Soldiers monument in Detroit.

She would be furious at having her image attached to a fiat currency and outraged that it appear next to “In God We Trust”.

This is a little off topic but why do we even put anybodies picture on our currency? It seems to me that is rather like having royalty on the currency and we fought a revolution over that sort of thing.

Ha, looks like what you'd pick up on the corner of Monroe and 10th in downtown Toledo. Is $10 her going rate?

Nothing says the nominee has to be born here, does it? So I nominate Catherine Zeta-Jones. It may as well be someone easy on the eyes and that might help me save some of the bills.

Ayn Rand is not a good role model for young girls. Do you really want to uphold a woman who lived her own life the way her fictional character, Dagny Taggert, did? A string of affairs, including an affair with a married man, excusing and rationalizing the affair (the wife was such an awful person you see.) No thanks, there are much better choices, starting with Abigail Adams.

The petition idea started at Yaron Brook's Ayn Rand Foundation in Irvine, CA. I sent Yaron a tart e-mail informing him that based on Rand's sentiments in Atlas Shrugged, she would have been outraged, or at least mildly annoyed, to see her visage on a piece of paper money un-backed by gold.

I told him that Rand should be placed on a one ounce gold bullion coin.
