Everyone hates Jackson so put a woman on the $20 and keep Hamilton on the $10
NY Daily News ^ | Tuesday, August 25, 2015

As an Op-Ed in this section notes, Wednesday is Women’s Equality Day, marking 95 years since the long-disenfranchised majority won the right to vote. It also could and should have been a day to celebrate the future placement of a prominent woman on the $20 bill, displacing the notoriously slaveholding, Indian-killing Andrew Jackson.

It was not to be — because U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew chose instead to boot the great Alexander Hamilton from the $10, before backtracking into a cockamamie plan to have a woman and Hamilton share that bill.

As the country has awakened to the foolishness of sidelining Hamilton — the most important New Yorker, the founder of modern American capitalism, an abolitionist to boot — Lew has pressed a lame persuasion campaign through invitation-only, closed-door meetings.

The only suitable woman who comes to mind was not American. Although she was a good friend of RR.

Remember this flop, that left a bunch of worthless "money" in the vaults: It was almost as bad as their earlier flop; So there is MORE WORTHLESS MONEY that is in reality ... MORE DEBT !

They should pick a random woman off the street to be on the $20, as I predict that method will be more satisfactory than whoever passes Obama’s muster.

If its an unveiled woman, Muslims will have an issue with it. Why haven’t the perpetually offended class thought of that?

King Barry legitimized this one by granting her an interview, so...

Despite the marketing attempts, the coin received an overwhelmingly negative reception from the public.

Ah, yes, the infamous "Carter Quarter".

That is so bizarre, on many levels. I never even heard of this bimbo before. How does she sit down with a US president (even this piece of crap) for an interview??

The comments at the YouTube link are painfully stupid.

Another huge government waste of money. There is NOTHING wrong with the $20.00 bill except how it has been devalued under the odumbo administration’s watch.

Her other videos are worse.

And yes, in case you're wondering, she's bathing in milk and Fruit Loops.

Don't leave out the Presidential Dollar series, seldom seen outside proof sets, uncirculated sets, and collectors bags/rolls.

Funny, the presidents were on coins of similar material to the Sacagawea Dollars, but their spouses were (and continue to be) commemorated as the series progresses with 1/2 ounce gold coins.

We should put Vivian Thomas on the $20 bill. Thomas was a high school educated maintenance worker who essentially developed heart surgery. I’ll bet we could get 100,000 signatures on a petition in support of Vivian Thomas before the bozos figure out that Vivian was a man.

“Hedy Lamarr, a Hollywood actress known for her good looks and classic come-hither bedroom gaze, also played a key role in developing cell phone technology widely used today.

Born 100 years ago today [Nov 9, 2014] in Vienna, the actress made a lesser-known contribution to wireless communication when she tried to defuse a potential military threat during World War II. To prevent remote-controlled torpedoes from being hijacked, she helped develop an early version of spread spectrum communication, which is part of the basis for wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.”
