this would be much more fitting:

That image is a bit busy for a coin but I'd totally support Harriet Tubman being on a coin.

We don't put living people on our money.

Sure, if the ultimate goal is to render the US dollar worthless.

This discussion is instructive regarding our national arc: then--Sacajewa, interpreter, guide, who guided Lewis & Clark from MO to OR all while trundling her baby. Then--Harriet Tubman, born a slave and suffered from seizures due to beatings from slave masters, but led hundreds to freedom while toting her rifle.

Now: Sandra Fluke, demanding that she be provided with birth control.

I also mentioned Susan B. Anthony, Betsey Ross, and Martha Washington. Surely you don't have a problem with them?

I also think Sally Ride would be a good choice...first American woman in space, and unfortunately now deceased.

One of my favorite games... And I would rather not have to look at his face while I am playing it. Thanks.

Of course not. Why would a fanatical Obama-hater suggest such a thing?

Oh...

Nah, not Obama, a simple Christian cross with "John 3:16" will do just fine.

And don't forget the "In God We Trust" on the other side.
