this blog is my opinion. I am open minded to any other opinions that people may have and you are free to ask any question on the topic as you please.

Most of these articles are talking about equal presentation on paper money but lets first look at the history of US coins. For the fist half of the United States coin history (1792-1910's and even into the late 40's) lady liberty has been the dominant face on all denominations (pennies, three-cent, nickels, half dime, dime, twenty cent, quarter, half dollar, silver and gold dollar, quarter eagle, half eagle, eagle, and double eagle) and even in modern times Susan B. Anthony was on the dollar coin, Sacagawea on the golden dollar, and in recent years women received their own series, First Lady set. 

On top of that minorities were also portrayed on U.S. coins such as the Indian head penny, buffalo nickel, and quarter eagle. If you don't consider native Americans a minority or oppressed people do some research but i do think that the united states should mint coins for circulation that include other ethnic backgrounds and  cultures.

Back to paper money, women have been portrayed for very minuet periods of time (such as George Washington's wife) but there is definitely a need for more. One can not just make the argument that there has been a lack of diversity in the currency instead one must look at it through the perspective of, that there are other people that have achieved great feats and led progressive groups throughout american history and we must make their story known through every day objects. We must not single out a group to choose from (gender or ethnicity) instead look at their achievements and impact on american history.
