    "For the first time in more than a century, U.S. paper currency will feature the face of a woman.

    Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said on Thursday a newly redesigned $10 bill, set to be unveiled in 2020, will feature "a woman who has contributed to and represents the values of American democracy." He did not mention any names."

    Who would you put on the bill?

    I vote for Grace Hopper.

    She may not have had a big impact on democracy but she has made huge contributions to computer science. She invented the first compiler for a computer programming language and helped create COBOL. She also had a lengthy and accomplished career in the navy. When she retired in 1986, at age 79, she was a rear admiral as well as the oldest serving officer in the service.

    Russia can have their Rubles, and we can have our RuPauls.

    Bill Gates would probably be a better choice.....wait, we're going to choose someone because of her gender, not actual accomplishments.

    Got it.
