re: Harriet Tubman $20 bill no longer coming in 2020

I started a thread about this a couple of years ago, but a BIG part of the reason that US currency is so accepted around the world - several nations just straight up use ours as their official currency - is because there haven’t been any major changes in a century.

This goes a long way to providing confidence in the American “brand” the world over. That’s a powerful economic weapon in wars against less-than-trustful nations/organizations like China and the socially driven economic decisions of the EU.

Making a significant change to our currency, for any reason, would be a mistake. Our currency IS an element of national security.
