Kevin Liptak and Antoine Sanfuentes write at CNN Money: Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is expected to announce this week that Alexander Hamilton’s face will remain on the front of the $10 bill and a woman will replace Andrew Jackson on the face of the $20 bill, a senior government source told CNN on Saturday. Lew announced last summer that he was considering redesigning the $10 bill to include the portrait of a woman. The decision to make the historic change at the expense of Hamilton drew angry rebukes from fans of the former Treasury Secretary. The pro-Hamilton movement gained steam after the smash success of the hip-hop Broadway musical about his life this year. Those pressures led Lew to determine that Hamilton should remain on the front of the bill. Instead, a mural-style depiction of the women’s suffrage movement — including images of leaders such as Susan B. Anthony — will be featured on the back of the bill. A Treasury spokesman declined to comment on the pending changes. But Lew hinted that a decision could come this week. “When we started this conversation not quite a year ago, it wasn’t clear to me that millions of Americans were going to weigh in with their ideas,” he told CNBC. “We’re not just talking about one bill. We’re talking about the $5, the $10, and the $20. We’re not just talking about one picture on one bill. We’re talking about using the front and the back of the bill to tell an exciting set of stories.” You can read the rest of the story here.

As long as they keep Ben Franklin where he belongs, I don't care.
"A woman"? That's it? When do they plan on telling the American people who this "woman" is going to be -- after the decision has been made? After they start printing? And what woman, of all the women, over all American history, has done more for this country than Alexander Hamilton? What a big, steaming load of PC crap.
Probably Whoopi Goldburg, or the First Wookie. Then you'll be proud to be an amerikan /sarc Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
Nah. It's got to be more than just a women. Caitlyn Jenner. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
If Caitlyn Jenner were black, no question. Women on new U.S. currency haven't been real popular. So now they feel they have to remove a Founding Father to make room for ... who? USA Today had a poll and came up with: Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Wilma Mankiller. Yeah. Wilma who? Well, she was the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation. I mean, really. This is the list? We may have heard these names, but we don't know what they did. Go up to the average black person and ask them to tell you about Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks. Yet one of these should replace Hamilton?
"How would you like your change, sir?"
I'm not sure that's an insurmountable barrier in this trans-racial age. But you're probably right. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Caitlyn Jenner. Bruce Jenner's appearance in this fagfest of a movie should have tipped everybody off to what would be coming. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
It will be Hellery Clinton, a heroine worthy of emulation.
Eleanor Roosevelt or Margaret Sanger would be my bet .I keeps on hearing Harriet Tubman . Removing Jackson is debatable . Hamilton should permanently remain on the $10 .My nominees .......Abigail Adams ,Molly Pitcher . "If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." Plato
Jackson hated central banking with a passion. He shut down the 2nd Bank of the United States so well they remained out of business in the US for 80 years afterwards. Putting his face on the $20 bill was intended to mock him, I believe.
How are things in Ecuador following the earthquake? There was a earthquake in Japan, as well, but this is all about the "Ring of Fire."
Hillary R. Clinton,the first Lesbian President of the US. Later on they will come out with a 3 dollar bill due to inflation,and Boy Jorge will be on that one. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
I'm not sure that's an insurmountable barrier in this trans-racial age. I can't wait for some senior white Naval Officer to announce he/she/multiple choice is going to sue the Navy for gender and racial discrimination if he/she/multiple choice isn't promoted to Admiral because he/she/multiple choice "feels like a black woman". Not to mention "Rear" Admiral. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders.

Yeah, that and scuttlebutt take on whole new inferences. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
I went to the bank yesterday to get cash and he wasn't gone. What do they mean "He's gone"?
I'd give a tip of my hat to one of my favorite teachers and nominate one of her favorite heroines, Dorothea Dix. Though Clara Barton wouldn't be a terrible choice. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
No chance. She was white,and she wasn't political. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!

I felt it. Everyone in the whole country did, I'm sure. No damage or injuries where I live. It must have been a full minute of shaking but was, apparently, relatively gentle. Enough to feel it and to shake the power/phone lines. I saw some electrical fireworks in the sky (it was after dark) probably power lines touching each other. But I didn't even lose power. It would seem the mountains insulated us from most of the effects. Virtually all damage and injuries/deaths, probably all of them, occurring closer to sea level, even in a major city farther from the quake than I am.
