Full Title: Meet the 11-year-old girl whose letter to President Obama led to plans for the first woman on US currency in more than a century

A woman will feature on US currency for the first time in more than 100 years - thanks to the efforts of an 11-year-old girl.

Sofia, from Cambridge in Massachusetts, had written to President Barack Obama in 2014 after a school project on historic American heroes.

'I realized no women had their face on our currency, so I went home and wrote the letter,' she told WCVB.

The schoolgirl demanded to know why there were no women on US bills, as 'if there were no women, there wouldn't be men'.

'I {The little girl} was so happy and I was weeping,' the 11-year-old said. 'If you really think about what you really want to change and put your heart and mind to it, then you can do anything.'

Sheesh, talk about a feel-good libspeak .

I'm sure her dear mother had nothing to do with her writing the letter.

I’m surprised, I thought this administration was being run by 4 year olds, not 11.

What’s going on is called debasement of the currency.

I guess the Susan B. Anthony thing went in the memory hole.

Or are "coins" not "currency" ?

This girl wrote that if there weren’t women there wouldn’t be men. I realize she is just a kid but what the heck is that supposed to.mean?? If there were no men there wouldn’t be women either. What is the point? Men and women complement each other and need each other and combine together in families. Probably this girl has a.liberal mother to feed her such drivel.

I think the proposed image of Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill is an ugly image of her. It shows her with a scowl on her face:

This image would be far more acceptable:

Now that you mention it, the entire scheme DOES sound like it’s the brainchild of an eleven-year old.

I suspect that after the November elections, this whole issue of changing the currency will be quickly forgotten.
