    I'm still pondering this, because this intrigues me.
    I'm thinking of Francisco d’Anconia speech on "the root of all evil".
    "It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money."

    Unless you're saying Ayn would not appreciate the honor of being on currency at all.
    I see a conflict between the appreciation of money, and the pursuit of it, and the hate of fiat.

    Right now we're focusing on starting a social media buzz to raise awareness. There doesn't seem to be a place to submit suggestions yet.

    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.

    I also prefer to see Ms. Rand's image on precious metal rather than a printed piece of paper that's worth as much as what Big Brother says it is.
    Poor Andrew Jackson was against paper currency. Look what happened to him!
    Bank teller: How'd you like that in cash, Mr. Allosaur?
    Me: In spendable twenties, please.

    I see your point. But, it is money, none-the-less, as long as we trade it, it has value, right?
    I think that would be a good debate topic.
    what if it were only pre-1971 bills?
    But her on a Bitcoin but they don't physically exist.

    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.

    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.

    Just getting her on the list to be considered would freak out those that are proposing the change. Ayn is not who they have in mind. Would love to see it!

    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.

    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

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