Expansion[edit]

The article needs general expansion and many more cites- I have added one to the claim that she was one of the most visible treasurers for the simple matter that, this being a largely ceremonial position, every US Treasurer makes hundreds of appearances. Is there a cite that verifies Withrow's tenure being more extraordinary in this regard than others? Also, the new $50 and $100 bills were introduced during her predecessor's term. But all that is minor and I don't recommend taking any of it all- just expanding on it with cites.The Original Historygeek (talk) 18:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To quote from the May 18th, 2009 Columbus Dispatch: "Over nearly seven years as treasurer, Withrow said, her signature was printed on $80 billion in currency, more than any predecessor. She also was one of the nation's most visible treasurers, frequenting coin and currency shows to autograph "Withrow bills."" (http://www.dispatchpolitics.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/05/18/copy/withrow.ART_ART_05-18-09_A1_NJDT30P.html?sid=101)

I'm sure you'll just claim that isn't an ubiased source, so I didn't bother to fix that. I did, however, remove your incorrect challenge about the $50 bill (it was redesigned in 1996) and the $100 bill (1997)-- both things can be found in the chronology of changes in the entries. To satisfy the pedants, who might argue that something can only be introduced once, I removed the word introduced. Swarles Barkley (talk) 14:33, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
