Talk:Susan B. Anthony
From Academic Kids
An event mentioned in this article is a June 18 selected anniversary
Could someone explain the coin? -- what denomination is it; is she on all coins of that denomination, and since when?
The so-called "Susan B. Anthony dollar" was minted for only four years, 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1999. It was produced at the Philadelphia and Denver mints for all four production years, and at the San Francisco mint for all years except 1999. The dollar coin is approximately the size of a U.S. quarter. The obverse bears a right-facing portait of SBA and the reverse is of an eagle flying above the moon with the Earth in the distance. While being round (with ruled edges),the coin has the appearance of being 11-sided due to the presence of an 11-sided border around the rim on both faces. In 2000, the SBA dollar was replaced with the gold-colored Sacagawea dollar.

- God, I think it's from the US Mint website... how does copyright apply to government publications of that nature? --Dante Alighieri 11:09 27 May 2003 (UTC)

Abortion section
Including such a large section on Anthony's views of abortion is biased. We hear nothing about Anthony's views on labor, war, nationalized childcare, etc. - yet a third of her Wikipedia entry is devoted to her views on abortion? Removing the section is not censorship, it is fair reporting. One sentence would do her view justice.
Many important historical figures have views on abortion, but that doesn't mean those views are an essential part of their biographies. Susan B. Anthony's contributions were in suffrage - just because she's a feminist doesn't mean she has a valuable perspective on all feminist issues everywhere.
Vandalism
Someone wrote an obscene paragraph at the end of the article. [-24.16.11.191]
