| The US is reportedly changing the face of the $10 bill |
| 2015-06-18 |
 I'll bet it won't be Molly Pitcher.Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew is set to announce on Thursday that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing will remove Alexander Hamilton from the ten dollar bill, in favor of a woman.

Owing to the small denomination, I doubt my wife will notice the "improvement." /sarc |

| #19 Does that mean we lose the only black man on US currency? Think about it Hamilton was born out of wed lock in the West Indies. Odds are mom wasn't pure blooded white woman. That would also explain why dad gave him the bum's rush. |

| #13 If the Trunks were smart, they'd introduce legislation to the effect of making Edith Wilson the choice today. How can the administration say no when it's a Donk to begin with? How bi-partisan. Think how it would deflate the anti-woman smears and undermine Hillary at the same time. |

| #11 Kill the novelty factor, Edith Bolling Galt Wilson. Who, as many historians consider, was the first female president. Ratify the record and end this LIV* "oh, we need to have a (pick your EEO flavor of the year) president". *Low Information Voter |

| #9 Franklin Delano Roosevelt Can finally tell us how he felt: "The only thing I had to fear Was Eleanor, if she weren't queer." I'm sorry. That was terrible. |

| #5 I suspect Eleanor Roosevelt since all they have to do is add a mustache to Hamilton. |

| #4 I suspect this will mean they are going to wind up like stamps now. It's wrong and I hope people refuse them. |
