arriet Tubman will replace President Andrew Jackson as the face of the $20 bill, and Jackson will be moved to the back of the bill alongside an image of the White House, Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew said Wednesday.

Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first Treasury secretary, will remain on the front of the $10 bill, but the back of that bill, which currently bears an image of the Treasury building, will feature leaders of the suffrage movement.

The reverse of the $5 bill will be overhauled to include opera singer Marian Anderson, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr
Lew said the designs of all three bills are slated to be completed and unveiled by 2020, the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

"This new $5 bill will now be known as the Jackson Five."

Why not? Canada already has the "Spock Five":

Of course, you have to "help" that one a bit...

Nothing changes on the currency for the length of my sixty+ years. Then we get a black president, and now we have to change the currency and put certain types of people on the currency. Coincidence? Not bloody likely.

The real tragedy is that we have any printed money at all.

Patience. The Mark of the Beast is coming.

Barry Hussein Soetoro ran on a platform of "FUNDAMENTALLY TRNSFORMING AMERICA WITHOUT THE NEED TO AMEND THE US CONSITUTION". Americans subscribed to that philosophy TWICE. We have seen this ongoing illegal activity for 7+ years while the Gelding Old Party sat on it's thumbs, so this simple move to deface our currency should come as no surprise to ANYONE who is above room temperature!!

We still have 204 days, 20 min for this boy king to further transform this country into what he and his ilk want it to be. MANY OF THESE "TRANSFORMATIONS" ARE UNRECOVERABLE NO MATTER WHAT THE TRUMPISTS SAY (and I support Trump). The new President - without a conservative Senate - will not be able to stop this change no matter what they proclaim to get elected. The Potomac is filled with hundreds of thousands of loyal LIBTARD bureaucrats that will continue the work of the Marxists and their RAT party. Anyone remember how GWB failed to clean out the civil servant bureaucrats and his party was attacked relentlessly for eight years from inside the walls of the District of Corruption?

I have a great memory....I just don’t always include minor things like coins. My point was the same presidents who were on the bills when I was a kid are still on there. Sorry if I left that out.
