With the US Treasury Department announcing that a woman will be pictured on the redesigned $10 bill, the woman who is arguably America's most famous legal hooker is stating her case for consideration.
Air Force Amy, a living legend of legal prostitution, currently advertises her services at Dennis Hof's Moonlite Bunny Ranch, a brothel located in Carson City, Nevada. It's the subject of HBO's hit series Cat House, and Amy has been its breakout star.
"The Treasury Department has said that they want the honoree to be a symbol of democracy and women's equality," said Air Force Amy, so named for her years of military service. "In the Air Force I served this country and fought for her freedom, and as a courtesan, I have elevated women's power within the business to the level of six figure incomes and the ability to control their own destinies."
The $10 bill currently pictures Alexander Hamilton, the first U.S. Treasury secretary who was killed in an 1804 duel with vice president Aaron Burr. The woman chosen for the redesigned bill may actually be featured alongside Hamilton, and Air Force Amy believes that fact bolsters her case. "I've dueled with many of the girls at the Bunny Ranch. They're gone, and I'm still here. If Alexander Hamilton had me with him back in 1804, it would've been Burr who didn't survive."
The bill will feature a tactile design for the visually impaired, and Amy points out that she's been "rubbed on" more than any other candidate. She boasts that any of her clients who have felt her touch will surely remember it when they "stroke her currency."
While the Treasury Department makes the final decision, they are seeking input from the public through a website and social media, where those interested are asked to use Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to support candidates using the hashtag #TheNew10. Air Force Amy knows she has public sentiment on her side, but the legal requirement for the honoree to be deceased might stop her ambition short—but Amy has a retort for that too: "This bill isn't getting minted until 2020, and I may not make it that long. Go ahead and plan for me, and if I'm still around, we'll give it to a secondary choice who's not."
