The New Ten Dollar Bill!

This week I am attending the Economic History for Leaders teacher conference presented by the Foundation for Teaching Economics in Williamsburg, Virginia.

So, this week we have been studying American history and making many connections to economics - the role a central bank plays in an economy,fractional reserve banking, and the influence of corporations in American history to name a few topics we covered.

This being the case, I was thinking about the proposed new ten dollar bill.  And, during the breaks I asked these awesome teachers who should be on the new ten dollar bill.  Below are the results:

Harriet Tubman: 5
Do not change the ten dollar bill: 8
Elizabeth Cady Stanton: 2
Eleanor Roosevelt:  3
Rosa Parks:   1
Patti Hetty Green: 1
Ayn Rand: 1
Abigale Adams:2
Francis Perkins: 1 
Alice Paul: 1

This is not the complete survey.  More data will be added to the blog later.

Please feel free to leave your thoughts on the new ten dollar bill.
