We could have had Burr for president. Hamilton just hated Burr more than he hated Jefferson, so he delivered Federalist votes in the House to Jefferson.

But, he wasn't a real American. He was born in the British West Indies (Neves).

8. I think a woman should be on the hundred dollar bill. A lot of high rollers use hundreds.

According to this article, Hamilton will still be on the bill in a diminished way.

I'd be shocked if it isn't Eleanor Roosevelt.

20. It's long past time for a woman to be on our currency

on our heavily used paper currency or heavily used coins.

the only error here is the idea that we should be choosing just one.

there should be room for more than one woman to be on our currency.

we should also have a large, I mean significantly larger dollar and two dollar coins like they have in Canada or Europe, not those little ones they tried to do several years ago.

put one of the guys on those, put a woman on the paper that they will vacate to be on the coin instead.
