hillary clinton, first female us president, or barack obama first black us president:)
are you telling us something about Obama we don't know? Since it's about a WOMAN being on the updated bill.... I'm with leave it alone, but I do like some of the ideas floated here.
 
Put it up for a vote, and Lady Godiva will win, err- hands "down."
 
Robert Reich recommended Frances Perkins:
More than one in four Americans are hoping the soon-to-be redesigned $10 bill, that will feature a prominent deceased American woman, will picture Eleanor Roosevelt, according to a McClatchy-Marist poll released Wednesday. I admire Eleanor Roosevelt but I'd rather have Frances Perkins on the bill. Perkins was the first woman cabinet secretary in history, serving as FDR's secretary of labor -- and was responsible for coming up with Social Security, the minimum wage, the federal 40-hour workweek (with time and a half for overtime), unemployment insurance, workers' compensation for injuries on the job, and the National Labor Relations Act.

Perkins is a nice idea, but if his numbers are right, it will be Eleanor Roosevelt.
