Nobody had "In God We Trust" removed from currency. It's still there.

Also, not all bills have a president on them. The $100, for example, has Franklin--never President. The larger bills, now out of circulation, also have non-presidents.

As to the OP, I disagree with Mother Theresa because she's not American. It would likely be somebody like Betsy Ross (Elizabeth Griscom) or Susan B. Anthony.

Honestly, I wasn't thinking of the dollar coin when answering you, but last I saw, IN GOD WE TRUST was still there. It's not like Obama can go and erase it from all the coins in circulation, and it certainly wasn't removed from the latest coins by his command.

I think I know what you're getting at, but that story was misleading because as a design choice, they moved it to the edge of the coin, so as not to get covered by the other designs.

laughing at moe too and can't take it off all the currency lol ... I thought about that... after her not being from the USA ... and like you said Susan B Anthony would be nice ... or While most people think of males as the strong, big chiefs of Indian tribes, the Indian women played and still play an essential and integral role in Indian life. Women were extremely important in the building and assembling of homes and lodging. The women would even design and erect an entire teepee themselves. These teepees were usually made of animal hides, sticks, and brush.

dna testing, dna ancestry testing, ancestry, genealogy, indian genealogy records, paternity testing, turquoise jewelry, native american jewelry

While Indian women had a myriad of important roles, perhaps none was as important as the raising of children. Just as mothers today are integral in taking care of their children, so were the Indian women, whose goal was to teach their offspring the cultures and practices of the tribe as early in life as possible. Babies were carried on the back in either a cradleboard or a papoose. The reason the women carried them on the back was so that they could still have both hands free, allowing them the ability to continue working.

In addition to raising the children of the tribe, Indian women were also responsible for the planting and harvesting of fruits and vegetables. In addition, the women washed clothing, harvested and cut firewood, and cooked for the entire tribe. They also made their own tools and cooking pots, as well as baskets. Of course, there was free time for the Indian women to enjoy doing things of leisure such as making jewelry and weaving rugs. In some tribes, the women were even the hunters of food, tracking down and killing buffalo. The women would then skin them, and pull the met from the bones and cook what was left for everyone to eat. Indian women have always been a true symbol of strength and bravery, proving that the woman does have an important place in our society, stretching back over the many canvases of time.

Sacajawea comes to mind..... after all she was fundamental in opening up the western route so the liberals could invade Nevada, Colorado, and California..... homes of two state mints

Why do we need to take Jackson off the $20? Couldn't we create a new denomination? Maybe a $25? And my choice would be Dolley Madison if it needs to be a woman, however, keep in mind that no one wanted the Susan B. Anthony or Sakajawea dollars.

I always thought that Eleanor Roosevelt never got full credit for her role as the first lady during that difficult time. She was a strong determined woman.. a good leader and role model.. for all JMO

I heard a report the other day that pointed out that Jackson was the guy *most* against paper money and the Federal Reserve, at the time, so it's a bit of a jab to put him on a bill.

Anyway, changing up the design often has the benefit of generating income from the collectors. Too bad we don't already have past female presidents to consider for the note.
