The $10.00 debate. There is a reason I brought up the currency issue. It has brevity.

I find it disheartening there is no ONE woman in our history that comes to the forefront of the debate. There is not one particular woman that carries brevity in this new campaign to place a woman on USA currency.

The last time a woman was placed on USA currency, it was Susan B. Anthony. It was a good choice and very collectible. But, the coin was resolved to be an annoyance. It don't think it is minted anymore. So, where did it get women except more static. 

I think the movement for the addition of a woman's portrait to the $10.00 should hire an excellent historian to not only bring a portrait, but, tone to the newly minted bill. In different words, "What was profound about her display on our currency?" 

Some currencies of the past for the USA has beautiful art work. I'm trying to remember the year, but, there is a dollar bill (I think it is larger in size than usual.) that has our industrial past on it's reverse side. The art work of that particular bill was quite intricate. I think there is room for such a change in the $10.00 bill. 

I would preferred Ulysses S. Grant to be removed from the $50.00 bill. We need to reflect on his significance as an emblem of war and the tone of victory in reflection of the confederate flag. Just a thought.

The $10.00 currency is now being redesigned so the potential for a woman to appear on it is relevant to today. Postponing the new design is silly. The opportunity exists and women should insist on it.
