What Woman should be on the Ten Dollar Bill?

Bea Arthur.

TV's Sweetheart

Eleanor Roosevelt -- just to make the GOP fall over with apoplexy!

It'll be fucking Caitlynn

"I'm your Auntie Mame!"

Kim Kardashian.

Cheryl or Nan?

You mean Cheryl Ladd and Nanette Fabray?

That's an odd, limited choice of two very different women.

Betty white.

[quote] It'll be fucking Caitlynn

Caitlynn would be more suitable for the Three Dollar Bill.

Madonna

Top contenders are most likely: Martha Washintgon

Betsy Ross

Susan B Anthony

Clara Barton

Amelia Earhart

Helen Keller

Harriet Tubman

Outside contenders:

Mildred "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias

Wilma Rudolph

Claire bitches!

Bette Davis on the front, dear Joan on the rear.

Don't forget that Claire got filled loaded potatoes!

Not without my daughter! (On a ten dollar bill)

Heken Keller

oops I meant Helen Keller

Mrs. Patrick Campbell

Geraldine

Bea Arthur of course. She looks like a Founding Father, so even the misogynists will be happy.

Richard Simmons

I think it should be Blaze Star. Her mission statement was, "Give me ten dollars Bill and I will turn you into a horny satisfied buck."

Eleanor Roosevelt

Barbara Jordan

It better be Hillz or I will never use a $10 bill!

Helen Keller was a devout Socialist. Harriet Tubman was no fan of capitalism either, considering what it did to her and her fellow blacks.

Frances Perkins, FDR's Sec. of Labor and the USA's first woman member of a Presidential cabinet would be a better choice than Eleanor Roosevelt, who, after all, rose to prominence by being someone else's wife.

Abigail Adams

Sojourner Truth

Carry A. Nation

Alice Kramden. The first person to go the moon.

Laura Ingalls Wilder

Betsy Ross

GLORIA ESTEFAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nathan Lane!

It should be Crystal Gayle.

It will probably be Raingirl's mom.

Daisy Dimple, the world's greatest female basketball player.

The Money Honey

Weird Little Girl.

or,

the Gargoyle neighbour smoking on the roof.

Lucille Ball of course.

The Smoking Gargoyle Neighbor. One of the funniest threads ever.

I would add Jeanette Rankin, the first woman elected to congress, to the list of possibilities.

[quote]Harriet Tubman

She sounds fat.

Jayne Mansfield or Dame Edna

In all honesty, who the hell is an actual possibility? Consensus is IMPOSSIBLE on this

R36 nailed it, "Lucille Ball of course."

However, I predict it will be a black woman, then it's a twofer. Not Barbara Jordan, but either Harriet Tubman or Sojourner Truth.

Not Carry Nation, I don't know where that came from, mentally from somebody up-thread.

I guess Rupaul would be a threefer, but I wouldn't put money on her.

Who is "Nan", BRW?

Eleanor Roosevelt

Harriet Tubman, god bless her, was uglier than a fucking dog's ass. Nobody wants to look at that mug every time they open their wallet.

Miss Dionne Warwick!

We need a queen like the commonwealth! Therefore, it HAS to be Queen Latifah

Phyllis Wheatley, the poetess.

Lizzie Borden

Ahem

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

R46 People who only have a ten dollar bill in their wallet (Not 20s? Not random change that accumulates? $10 is intentional. You couldn't even part with a whole $20?) will appreciate her dour expression of misery.

What is the best biography of Eleanor Roosevelt? Anyone here know?

What about that chick who sat on the bus?

Joan Crawford

I will NOT allow Lucy to be on the $10 bill

Lady Liberty.

In fact, let's dump all the old dead people, male or female, and go with the Golden Gate Bridge, Old Faithful, The Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and maybe a majestic Redwood.

[quote] Harriet Tubman, god bless her, was uglier than a fucking dog's ass. Nobody wants to look at that mug every time they open their wallet.

Yes, we can only look at deeply beautiful people on our paper currency like Abraham Lincoln.

Hubba, hubba.

[quote]Frances Perkins, FDR's Sec. of Labor and the USA's first woman member of a Presidential cabinet

Not that she's unworthy, but most Americans have never (or barely) heard of Frances Perkins. Even if they have, they couldn't pick her out of a lineup.

No.

[quote][Frances Perkins] would be a better choice than Eleanor Roosevelt, who, after all, rose to prominence by being someone else's wife.

No.

Fuck off, smarmy-smug troll. Eleanor Roosevelt maintained her prominence and the respect of the world long after her husband's death. She earned that in her own right.

There is no better choice than Mrs. Roosevelt but she won't be chosen. It will be someone duller, who's probably been dead a lot longer. t

Don't be dissing my man, R59.

Rachel Dolezal.

Second choice: Betty Boop

R62 Which one?

[quote] Which one?

The gray one.

Judge Judy

It'll be some super-PC choice, a native woman like Pocahontas or Sacawhater or some slave lady who wrote poetry or something.

My vote goes for Jackie O!!!!!

As long as its this version of Pocahontas, I'm all for it, R67!!!! That bitch is giving us LIFE with that wind and the leaves, hunty!!!!!!

"Native woman"???????

R67 = Prudence Pingleton

Oprah

Barbara Billingsley

Amanda Blake: Miss Kitty Russell from 'Gunsmoke'

Bai Ling.

Francine in HR. That bitch will do anything for 10 bucks!

Cathy Mitchell.

I would doubt its Sacadawea or Pocahontas, since we got a native American woman last time.

No, it will almost certainly be an African-American woman from pre-1900--either Harriet Tubman or Sojourner Truth or Phyllis Wheatley.

It could have also been Harriet Jacobs, the author of "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," but famously no one knows what she looked like.

Mary Todd Lincoln

Dolly Madison

The UK money has people from the arts like Dickens and Shakespeare. How about Emily Dickinson? I also saw Florence Nightingale on a UK bank note.

I love you R76, and I'll support your efforts to get her on the ten if you help me get Sandra Lee on the twenty.

Since this is for the anniversary of women's suffrage, my guess is it will be Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

My Datalounge nomination is Ester Rolle so I can always exclaim, "Damn, Damn, Damn!" when paying with a $10.

I would LOVE for it to be Jackie O, and when you think about it, this would also be very appropriate because that bitch worshipped money. Unfortunately, the sour old prudes who are in charge of these matters would never go for Jackie. Too glamorous and exciting.

It'll be some old slave woman or one of those hatchet-faced suffragettes from the 19th century.

Diana, Princess of Wales

Caitlyn.

Our first female President.

[quote]Betsy Ross

That con woman?

Mother Teresa

To be on the bill the person must be dead.

How about Nancy Reagan. It can be the: just say no bill!!!!!

Queen Elizabeth the 2nd.

Who still uses cash? It is so unsanitary.

Helen Keller, Harriet Tubman or Eleanor Roosevelt.

Julia Child.

Jeannette Rankin

[quote] Not that she's unworthy, but most Americans have never (or barely) heard of Frances Perkins.

Well, most Americans don't know most of the people on our currency as it is. I could see it being her, but it'll probably be Tubman or Keller.

I always thought that was G on the 10 dollar bill.

How about Mariel Hemmingway?

Who cares? Who uses cash anymore?

Cash will NEVER go away because it has two features which electronic payments cannot replicate:

1. Anonymity. No matter what bitcoin, paypay, applepay and all the other electronic payments tell you, there is ALWAYS an electronic trail which can be tracked. There would be no way to exchange payments, otherwise. There is always a unique identifier associated with both the source and the destination of any transfer. It's not sorcery; it doesn't just magically move from one account to another.

2. Finality. Cash transactions end when you hand someone cash (returns are a merchant policy, not a feature of cash itself). Electronic transactions can always be reversed (the policy of infrastructure provider determines whether you can or not - but it is a feature of the system itself).

What many people don't realize is that consumers are accepting incremental transaction risk, as if they were using cash, but paying as if they were using an older forms of electronic payments like credit or debit. Both credit and debit have charges for risk embedded in their fee strucutres. Consumer will continue to pay these fees when using the newer electronic payments vehicles, but have assumed all the transaction risk.

None of the women suggested so far are worthy of this, at least not permanently. You want to put them on for a couple years, fine, but not for a bill that'll be in circulation for an extended period of time.

I'm not being sexist, because I can't think of any males that are worthy either. I'm sure it's a Republican wet dream to have Reagan on a bill, but fuck that.

Again, let's dump all the people and go with a nice lighthouse on the Maine Coast.

Stop the rape of the global economic phallocracy with womyn2womyn barter and NanCoin!

Shouldn't Oscar nominations be the only criterion?

[quote]Harriet Tubman

Forget TubMAN...make it TubGIRL!!!!

[quote]Fuck off, smarmy-smug troll. Eleanor Roosevelt maintained her prominence and the respect of the world long after her husband's death. She earned that in her own right.

Yes but she would have been a veritable unknown if she hadn't married a man who became President Like Hillary, she married her way to the top of the heap. A truly great woman would emerge and succeed on her own without benefit of marrying up into power.

Besides, Eleanor Roosevelt was practically a Socialist. Her presence on a Federal Reserve note would be a curious contrast in the Pig-Eat-Pig, Capitalism on Steroids, Let the Poor People Die age we live in.

Vivian Vance!

Muriel

Helen Lawson

Pollyanna Prisspot, Schoolmarm

I’m going to take a moment to be serious, But why isn’t there any women on American currency?? That Susan B Anthony shit doesn’t count. Might as well be a Taco Bell coupon or food stamps. It is pretty fucked up that US money only features pictures of racist white old farts.

Barbra

RuPaul

Can they do an optical illusion so that if you hold it differently in the light it looks different? If so, I’d like for them to recreate that Jessica Fletcher eating popcorn gif.

Would putting royalty on in be inappropriate?

I was going to suggest America’s Queen of Nice, Rosie O’Donnell.

Dionne Warwick

It can't be Barbara Bush cause everyone would mistake it for the one dollar bill.

Michelle Maglalang Malkin

JUDY!

Donna Summer

Our Queen.

When the time comes, RBG

Me, me, ME!!!

Kim and her Subaru

Judy/Liza

Madonna/Ava Gardner

JUDY

Phyllis Rogers Stone

[quote]make it TubGIRL!!!!

Dirty money.

Tootie from 'Facts Of Life.'

Hillary

RBG, the adopted pit bull?

When the time comes, Cher.

Cher would be too controversial — ‘70s Cher, ‘80s Cher, ‘90s Cher?!

How could anybody agree on which?!

Valerie Cherish

Judy on one side, Liza on the other would be perfect.

Chrissy Metz, if they can get her to fit.
