Bye Bye Hamilton

jdmern - Agree completely, he was a dashing figure. One of the great all-time arguments is whether he could have been elected president.

If they wanted to change a note, I would have voted Franklin off the island first.

I wish they would put liberty back on our currency ..... but of course they won't do that.

I'm just concerned that they are going to make a politically based decision on who to portray.

Does the treasury secretary make the decision or does Congress have to rubberstamp the pick?

I'm not opposed to the idea, but I don't like that the decision is "We're putting a woman on the bill but we don't know who yet." They aren't even trying to hide the fact that the change is just to appease the Tumblr "social justice warriors."

I would applaud them if they were to announce "Harriett Tubman is going to be on the $10. Go to xxxxx.gov to vote for the design you like best." The fact that they are *just* doing it to get any woman on the bill cheapens the whole deal and makes the victory seem hollow, in my opinion.
