Maybe the "Rand" one ounce gold coin would be better (not to be confused with Krugerrand.)

I was listening to Ben Shapiro's show this morning and thought the same. He asked what female has done more for the US than an Alexander Hamilton? I don't think she'd appreciate the joke of her face on fiat though. nice to see you jml

Yes, she should... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...

Only if it is on a something like Gold Certificate; not currency which depreciates and will have no value in the long run. "In G-d We Trust, all others pay in gold or silver...." Government is not my G-d.

Great idea. I'd like her face on a 1 ounce silver coin with no In God We Trust, but she'd be a great choice for a $10 bill.

I agree,

+1 Great idea!

Funny, I just made the same comment (on another site), a couple days ago. In fact, I was discussing this very subject, with my wife, just last night.

I understand that the Fed will be taking "votes", from the public, in August (I believe). Of course, the choice will be from their list of "approved" possibilities and Ayn Rand probably won't make that list. However, if enough Gulchers were to propose Ayn Rand to the proper decision maker(s)...

I should have thought of that.

I agree... But that would make the Ten worth more than an inflationarily debased Franklin!

If we're going to put a woman on the currency just for the sake of putting a woman on the currency; I can't think of anyone more deserving than Ayn Rand. While she wasn't one of the founding fathers like most of the people (men) on our currency, she did do a lot to revive the spirit of the founders in post Roosevelt New Deal America.

Ayn Rand. Or course that would take really take someone who actually cares about the American economy and would audit, wipeout the debt and dissolve the Federal Reserve which is run by the richest people in the world.

She has my vote. Although would she want to be on something so worthless as our currency.

I'll seconded that! However, on the twenty, not the ten. Hamilton was a more valued person over all opposed to Jackson. But truthfully, I really think we should introduce intrinsic value into our paper money instead of changing the person portrayed upon it.

I'd prefer to see her image on something of value.

If nothing else the exposure of Ayn Rand to people who do not know of her now will be significant during the time that this process takes. That will be more important than her face appearing on any currency, which I would very much like to see. But, if all of the publicity that she gets causes people to buy her books that will be a winner for all of us.

The issue actually, however, has nothing to do with women and their contributions. It is all about marginalizing the Founding Fathers of this nation and their contributions to the birth of what used to be the greatest nation of free will and natural rights this world has ever known. They want to start with Hamilton because most people have never studied American History and don't understand his role in the Founding of this Nation, from fighting alongside George Washington in the Revolutionary War to his role as a "devil's advocate" in drafting the Articles of Confederation and then the Constitution. He was also this nations first Secretary of the Treasury - a totally appropriate person to put on money!

Regarding Ayn Rand, however, like freedomforall I think she'd object to being placed on fiat currency because of the false proposition of value. I'd rather see her on a $10 gold coin.

HA! That would go over like a fart in an elevator.

Where can we start making this suggestion? Who's fax machine ca we overflow? If for no other reason than to rattle cages.

I would really go for it if they would roll out a $1000 Bill with Ayn on it.
