Can someone explain to me why this is apparently a sore spot with so many people?
Not enough lube?

It has been explained already. It's a transparent politically correct pandering rather than a genuine effort to honor a particular person.

$2 bills are still legal tender and can be used to pay debts (both public and private). Their value, from a collectors point of view, is low. They have been widely circulated and are not rare. A $2 bill dated before the 1970's might be worth a few extra dollars if in excellent condition, though.
There are plenty of buildings full of cracks.

So we cannot honor a woman? And how is it pandering exactly?

Person A: We should put a woman on a bill.
Person B: That is a great idea. Who shall we honor?
Person A: I'm not certain, we should try to find the right one.
Person B: Panderer!!!

Given there are American woman worthy of honour they would also be a particular person in the same way as men worthy of honour are particular persons.

If this was pandering to feminism, wouldn't they have chosen Lorena Bobbitt?
What makes someone "worthy of the honor"?
They have to be able to lift Mjolnir.

I had to google her, very weird choice to me.
Assuming that we are limited to women related to politics, Rosa Parks anyone?

I have a feeling it will be her.

OK, I looked the link, it does not seem to mention Nancy Benoit, why this thread?
To see how many people would think it plausible that a female wrestler could replace Hamilton?

I suppose the reference is a bit too vague. The article said Woman would be on $10 bill. One of Benoit's personas was as "Woman".

I nominate the girl who carried the mattress, just so it'd piss Derec off so much that he'd refuse to use cash anymore.

Well, that was Eve's name before the fall.
So, we're going to get a naked clone on the $10?
I might spend a lot more if the money looked like a Page 3 girl....
He would be compelled to jerk off all over it.
