I hear that Amos and Andy are going to replace Ben Franklin. Al Jolson, in black face, will replace Grant to pay tribute to people who are white, but who claim to be black.
And some store/cop who didn’t get the word will be arresting people for fake money; then too, the feds are going to wind up with a whole bunch of twenties to keep those Susan B. Anthony coins company. There won’t be enough people accepting the new twenty to make it work. There’ll be a run on fives, tens and fifties.
Good grief !
Isn’t is bad enough they are diluting the learning of real history with this affirmative action tripe?
Students of history used to learn about the greatest leaders in world history, the events, war, and leaders which shaped the world we live in today.
But now it’s the above plus and Harriet Tubman! (because she was black and we couldn’t find or think of anyone else the right color who did anything)
Give me a break, Alexander the Great, Ceasar, Genghis Khan, Nero, King George the III, Queen Elizabeth, Gandhi, Lincoln, Churchill, Stalin, Hilter, and .... Harriet Tubman? !!!!! SERIOUSLY!!! On a historical scale Harriet Tubman’s life was about as important as the lady at church who runs the library!
If I were black ... I would be INSULTED this is the best they could come up with !
On the other hand, I could care less about Jackson, and never understood why he was on anything to begin with!
Andrew Jackson paid off the National Debt by ABOLISHING the 2nd Central Bank.

Our fiat, unbacked currency is purely a political invention. This is perfect evidence of it.
I guess the silver lining for Jackson is he despised the bankers and fought them tooth and nail to not let them be in charge of the US currency, so putting him on the $20 was there way of saying we won in the end.
I will not use or accept this Obama money.
This is an outrage.
The portrait on the $20 bill or any other bill should not be changed at all.
The treasury has already mode our currency look rather cartoonish with their recent redesign.
Now they are going politically correct with the portraits.
Will they soon replace George Washington on the $1 with Hillarious Klinton and Abe Lincoln on the $5 bill with Moochie Obama or Al Sharpton?
Fortunately, the NEXT President has the power to overturn this decision.
“A fist full of Tubbies” just won’t sound as cool in the rap videos.
Never helped free slaves - only slaves she did help were her own relatives and some that she knew very well. Perhaps maybe thirty in total. The highest reward offered for her was $100. Maybe she should have been put on a hundred dollar bill instead.
If (D) Andrew Jackson were running for president today he’d have my vote.
Put Reagan on it !
I think for the quarters, after the 50 states, we should have 50 dead rappers, a few each year. Kids can collect them all.
President Trump can reverse this stupid decision, and he should announce that he will do so on Day One of his Presidency!
I was ignorant of all that. It figures that is the guy they make a Broadway musical about. Nothing like tyranny for the elite idiots.
