That’s a day of mourning

[trebb]

Yep - we have 2 of her failed dollars in a box with other coins...

"Susan B. Anthony was born on this day 200 years ago."

[dp0622]

I remember those :-)

If it wouldn’t have been her it would have been somebody else.

Susie B. was a tireless fighter for her cause. She was also an avid pro-lifer, who declared abortion to be an abomination of motherhood. Too bad the feminists of today lack the common sense of Susan B. Anthony.

[trebb]

They would sometimes be mistaken for a Kennedy half dollar when clerks were giving change...

While leaving Seattle I needeed change for the railroad to the airport.

I put in a twenty and was rewarded with more Susan B Anthony’s than I could carry. I didn’t know the coins were used anywhere on earth. Some cashiers didn’t believe there was such a thing

[Dacula]

I used to bag groceries at our commissary. We worked for tips and I would get four Susan B coins because the officers’ wives thought that they were quarters. Great times back then.

Try explaining the nuances of Susan B. Anthony and the suffrage movement to freeper guys. Ha!

[BuffaloJack]

It it happened today, she’s would have been aborted.

[Does so]

Which of the plurality of the female vote accounted for US Presidents anathema to freedom?

Which of the plurality of the female vote accounted for US laws anathema to freedom?

If the votes of American men and women were counted, could American women be counted upon to overturn the 19th amendment today?

IIRC, the movement excluded blacks.

LOL! Dollar coins can weigh you down, no doubt.

In the modern age, dollar coins never have caught on with the public. The Eisenhower dollar, Susie B. Sacagawea, and Presidential dollar coins have all failed to circulate as readily as the Mint hoped.

Surveys have consistently shown that if given a choice between a paper dollar and a dollar coin, most people prefer the paper dollar, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

The only way for the dollar coin to be successful is to eliminate the paper dollar bill.

Meant to say...

If it wouldn’t have been her it would have been somebody else.

[cgbg]

We confuse her with Sara Lee—a great woman who made cakes! ;-)

Interesting Susan B. Anthony quote on abortion:

"Guilty? Yes no matter what the motive, love of ease, or desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; but oh! Thrice guilty is he who, for selfish gratification, heedless of her prayers, indifferent to her fate, drove her to the desperation which impels her to the crime..."

[Vlad The Inhaler]

She’s almost as significant as Chelsea Clinton.
