What? No Barry? I’m writing my Congressman about this!

He will be on the new $6 bill. They will be issued in packs of three.

What change the $20? So that 90% of the population would think it was a fake?

If they want to put harriet tubman on a bill, create a new bill like a $500 bill or something

Don’t change the looks of current bills, it confuses everyone and bill readers

I guess that depends on whether you’re an Indian or not.

I was against the idea of a cashless society but I now may change my mind, as long as the government does not get to dictate that my debit card have a picture of some liberal America hating commie on it.

The “Political Correctness” continues to destroy the fabric of our country.

No, Harriet Tubman was a Republican.

Unfortunately, you have to be dead to be on money. BO is still upright. Seeing his face on our currency will be bittersweet.

The feds are going to wind up with a huge bundle of unwanted twenties and a run on tens and fives and fifties.

We’ll all be sure to draw a mustache on Harriet before circulating these bills.

“Today’s $100 will not buy you any more than a $20 bill would forty five years ago.”

Depends on what you’re buying. If it’s a TV it will buy much more but if you’re buying groceries it won’t buy what a ten would buy that long ago.

In 46’ and 47’ the US Mint put a famous and honourable black man on the fifty cent piece. It failed miserably and even today, its collector value is the same as the content of its silver.

Harriet Tubman doesn’t deserve the insult of being associated with the likes of those two.
