“Will you agree to paying with your palm or fingerprints when the government jams that down our throats? Just wondering.”

Smart a**.

At some point even YOUR money is digital. You get direct deposit? Any banking activity at all, or do you show up at the electric company with a wad of cash each month to pay your bill? Where did you get the cash? Same with the other utilities as well? You never send a check through the mail? A credit card is not the mark of the beast, nor is it a precursor to it.

Zitkala-Ša died in 1938. The last Indian was removed from coinage that same year and replaced with male white slaveowner Thomas Jefferson.

It would be 62 years before another Indian would appear on our regular coinage, the Sacagawea dollar which ceased production in 2012. Remember the racist who was president then?

I’m surprised they actually allowed a white to be so honored.

Lesbian? The previous white women honored are Sally Ride and Eleanor Roosevelt.

G. Washington remains on the obverse. The bust engraving was designed by a woman, Laura Gardin Fraser.

Ishtar, Astarte, Easter...

The word "Easter" has no proven connection to the worship of ancient Assyrian, Egyptian and Babylonian goddesses. It is, in fact, a quirk of the English language that most of us here know the celebration by that name. In practically all non-English speaking countries (and among the Eastern Orthodox) it is known as "Pascha" (or some variation thereof) by Christians (the name means "Passover" as Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was the fulfillment of the OT Passover). For example in Spanish, "Happy Easter" is "Feliz Pascua."

Etymology

Main articles: Ēostre and Names of Easter

The modern English term Easter, cognate with modern Dutch ooster and German Ostern, developed from an Old English word that usually appears in the form Ēastrun, Ēastron, or Ēastran; but also as Ēastru, Ēastro; and Ēastre or Ēostre.[nb 4] Bede provides the only documentary source for the etymology of the word, in his eighth-century The Reckoning of Time. He wrote that Ēosturmōnaþ (Old English for ‘Month of Ēostre’, translated in Bede’s time as “Paschal month”) was an English month, corresponding to April, which he says “was once called after a goddess of theirs named Ēostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month”.[37]

Thank you for providing this, for this has led to a lot of misunderstanding. Bede claimed the word “Easter” came from the name of the month in which it occurred (basically, April). He said this month used to be called “Eostur,” though this was no longer true in his day. He also thought the month was named after a Germanic goddess who was no longer worshipped (The Reckoning of Time, 15).

Bede is the only source who mentions this goddess, so he may be incorrect. Regardless, this applies only to the origin of the English word—not the origin of the feast. Its origin is revealed by its name in other languages.
