Harriet Tubman is not a bad choice, although if it had to be a woman I would have preferred Grace Hopper.

Anyway, I've read elsewhere that the change won't occur until 2030. By then a $20 bill will probably buy you a cup of coffee.

So it takes 14 years nowadays to change the face on money??,,what the heck??

The Kennedy half dollar came out within a year of JFKs death. Just an observation.

It’s nothing against Tubman. But it’s simply the administration playing racial politics and causing a backlash, so they’ll have the excuse to eliminate cash. Tubman would have been a good choice for the $1 coin.

Adm. Hopper would be a great choice.

I didn't know who she was, so I looked her up. A very impressive life.

But that's the way some Chicago types pronounce "grasshopper." Hey, lookut dat gracehopper over by dere.
