$20 bill to switch pic of Jackson for Tubman

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-harriet-tubman-20-bill-20160420-story.html

The back of the $5 bill will also be redesigned to include opera singer Marian Anderson, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
With Hamilton's position secure, and with the Obama administration under pressure to add diversity to the currency, Lew's compromise is to replace a picture of the Treasury building on the back of the $10 with leaders of the suffrage movement — Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul and Lucretia Mott.

Surprised no one's posted this. Unless they have. In which case, whoops.

So i gather.
There are native Americans (mostly from tribes displaced on the trail of tears) that wont use twenties on principle.
He was a tough SOB though was old hickory.

Can they remove any mention of "God" on money while they are doing this?

So one might say that some tears are still being shed about the trail of tears.

No disrespect to Tubman, she was a true hero, but they should keep the Presidents theme going and just put Clinton on the $20.00, we all known she's likely going to be the 45th POTUS

People would flip shit if they put Hillary on lol

I'd be fine with putting Hilary's face on toilet paper though.

Jackson hated paper money and runaway slaves.

Damn is he spinning hard.

It seems Andrew Jackson will still be on the back of the bill, but not on the front. I just..it sounds so silly. Why do we need anyone's face on our money? Who gives a shit? Why is this something people are focusing their time on?

i kind of like it. It shows the duality of the United States history in many ways. I would have preferred Jackson on the front though. He was one of the most important presidents in history. He killed the British, the French, the Spanish, the aristocrats, 2 political parties and the political system, anything he wanted to eat, native Americans, the ****ing bank and anyone who disagreed with him. He also shaped the country for what it was.

People hate him, but I admire someone who fought their way to the top like he did.

Although I have to say..doesn't Harriet kind of look like 50 cent? Look at her picture.

You can find me in Da Club...put her on the half dollar.

If it was up to me, I'd put a portrait of a typical American soldier on there. We do owe our freedoms to their service.

No see she is female AND black so we kill two birds with one stone.

you mean like Andrew Jackson?

I'm just glad we've solved all other issues in this country so we can now focus on the little things like whose picture appears on our money.

No, a grunt..like your average private or sergeant.

I have an idea: how about we have an image of an american eagle gouging out the eyes of Osama Bin Laden? I mean..just picture it.

I will also note I am open to the possibility that instead of using talons to gouge his eyes the eagle is using some kind of laser vision. Artistic license, right?
