Thoughts?

The redesign of the $20 bill featuring Harriet Tubman will no longer be unveiled in 2020, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Wednesday.

The unveiling had been timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, which granted women the right to vote. Mnuchin said the design process has been delayed and no new imagery will be unveiled until 2028.
quote:

President Donald Trump, months before he was elected, called the decision to put Tubman on the currency "pure political correctness" and proposed putting her portrait on the $2 bill.

Good.

She's ugly as hell.

Keep one of the greatest Presidents ever on the 20 dollar bill. Now that I'm thinking of it, it's kind of a sick joke that Jackson's face is on the currency of an institution that he fought all his life against.

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.

This. She makes Maxine Waters look like Miss America. I'm not a credit card person. I use cash every day. I don't want to look at that picture when I open my wallet 5 times a day.

I challenge the MSM to approach 5,000 black people in the street and ask them who Harriet Tubman was....

If more than 100 know the answer, I'll eat my shoe.

They need to put Tubman on the $50 as a replacement for Grant. No more bad luck 50s.
