Move over, George Washington. Eleanor Roosevelt might be taking your spot on the $1 bill.
A young girl's letter to President Obama sparked a discussion about the possibility of adding women's faces on American currency. Obama mentioned the letter at an appearance Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo.

"And then she gave me like a long list of possible women to put on our dollar bills and quarters and stuff, which I thought was a pretty good idea," Obama said.
So did the Internet.
Soon, there was Oprah on a $20 bill thanks to New York Magazine, Harriet Tubman on a $100 bill from The New Republic and questions across the Twitterverse on why Beyonce doesn't have her own bill (she is, after all, called Queen Bey).

I feel at this point Beyoncé deserves to be on a dollar bill #yahfeel

Though there isn't currently a woman on a paper note, there was once, in 1886. Martha Washington appeared on the $1 silver certificate, which could be redeemed for silver coins.
Women have graced two dollar coins made mostly of copper. Susan B. Anthony is on one that looks something like a quarter, and Sacagawea is on what's known as the "golden dollar." Those coins remain in circulation, but are not currently in production.
I doubt it'll happen, but some of the candidates
I'd like to see the names on the list that made him say it's a 'good idea'

You know what, I have no problem putting a historically significant female on a bill. Given there have been no female presidents, the woman must be as significant as Hamilton or Franklin, the only two non-Presidents on US currency (not including coinage).
Other than that, they can take a hike. The men on US currency are great Americans (for the most part) and great men. Or to rephrase for feminists, they're great humans.
The idea of putting Beyonce on currency is flat out insulting to our forefathers and our nation.

Abigail Adams would be a decent choice for the next golden dollar or something like that. Definitely nothing permanent or widely circulated though.
She represents the ideal woman in my opinion. Deferential to her husband, embracing of her role as a wife and mother, and intelligent and educated for the purposes of intellectually nourishing her children and establishing a solid foundation of knowledge and morality. The type of woman who definitely holds up her end of the deal in molding wholesome, functioning members of a free society. And she was one of many. Pre-Industrial Rev. American women were pretty exceptional actually.

Is it just me, or is it perhaps that women are far more revered and appreciated in patriarchal, male dominated societies? Look at the last time a woman was on paper currency, 1886, when the US was still patriarchal. And not to go off topic, but how can you also explain how The Phillipines, Costa Rica, and Brazil has had female heads of state (all male dominated societies) but the feminized US has not?

Looks like Hillary is going to win the next election. Why else would this be discussed?

Oprah should be on a British 500 pound note.
Trannies should be on a new $2 bill.

Wow, just wow. Talk about discrimination. Why aren't there any transgenders on our dollar bills? This is an outrage. I am literally screaming, I am so angry. I don't think I'll be able to sleep well tonight. Thanks a lot you shitlords. This thread should have had a trigger warning. I will be telling my therapist and all my Tumblr followers about this tomorrow.

That black woman is Harriet Tubman.
I have no problem with it. As long as it is a real woman like Adams or Tubman . No modern woman from the last 30 years or so, could even hold their period rags today. If they even used them, lol.
With crass and disgusting murders like Jackson on the 20, no real woman would hurt anything. It might even get some ignorant person to look up the person and learn something valuable.

They need to stop making pennies. Those things are not worth the metal they are made with. Most copper ones are getting rare if they are not weathered to shit.

It'll be really ironic that when the dollar inevitably goes under there will be women on the bills. Very symbolic if you ask me.

You'd think Barack Obama has more pressing matters to worry about.
