Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:INTU) Move over Bill, Belle's on the way. Today, a leading Web site will begin a nationwide survey asking who should be the first living woman on the dollar bill, thus turning the dollar "Bill" into the dollar "Belle." The QUICKEN.COM DOLLAR BELLE SURVEY, sponsored by Quicken.com, a leading personal finance Web site for helping consumers make confident financial and investment decisions, kicks off on Financial Freedom Day - July 1, 1998 and will run through August 1, 1998.
Americans are encouraged to nominate who they think should be the first woman on the dollar bill. Nominees should be well-known living American women that people have heard or read about. The woman with the most nominations will have her image placed on a limited number of dollar bills with permission from the U.S. Treasury Department. These limited edition dollar bills will be sold at the end of the survey on Quicken.com with all the proceeds benefiting the winning woman's favorite charity.
"As more women take control of their financial future, Quicken.com celebrates the accomplishments and financial freedom achieved by today's women," said Tony Cook, managing editor of Quicken.com. "Our Web site empowers individuals by providing them with the best financial and investment information on the Internet and we want to recognize women that have empowered themselves and acted as ground breakers and role models to others. What better way to do so than to put her picture on the dollar bill."
