When a government starts “changing” the currency, it’s
never a good thing.

Just because she was a so called “republican” doesn’t mean that they are STILL trying to be politically correct.
It’s CRAP!

That will send the $20 bill and the dollar internationally lower (see Japan, China, S. Africa, Australia, N.Z., U.K., Arab states, Italy, Spain, Russia, all).

This is designed to expedite the abolishment of cash. Change the faces, get people upset, other liberal groups will make more demands, then do away with cash entirely because no one will be happy. I fricking hate this government. Agree completely!

Scum like you have absolutely no understanding of history. Jackson adopted an Indian as his son, defeated the British at New Orleans, invaded Florida and wrestled the state from Spain, threatened military force when SC threatened to secede; and fought Indians who slaughtered U.S. settlers. I guess you never heard of Ft. Mims, AL where the Creek Indians massacred 400 men, women, children, and African slaves. This and other incidents were part of many reasons many Indians were moved to Oklahoma. If Democrats today were like the founder of their party, we as a country would not be in our current terrible shape. Look forward to seeing you get the ZOT soon.

It must have annoyed the tyrants at the Federal Reserve to no end that someone opposed to central banking was on their reserve notes. Here is our protest:
Can I have two tens?
You realize that the man on the ten, Alexander Hamilton, invented central banking in the United States?

That one is reserved for Ben Bernanke or Janet Yellen...whichever one did the most to keep “quantitative easing” going long enough to get socialism permanently locked-in.
To: rockrr
What do they plan to do with the stacks of bills that people will refuse to accept?There are over one billion of these:
And more than two billion of these:
in storage, in fact, the Federal Reserve is running out of space to keep them all, continued mintage being required by Your Republican Congress, so that they don't join the War on Women.
Perhaps the Tubbies can find some space alongside of them, except that Your Republican Congress will probably enact legislation making it illegal NOT to use them.

I don't want that fugly mug on my bills! I don't care if it's a she or black or whatever, the LAST semblance of America left is our currency and 'they' want to change THAT too. They switched from the $10 to the $20 because it's more IN OUR FACE at ATMs and such. I'm going to get tired scribbling out Tubman's fugly mug with a big fat marker!
You know, I'm not happy about this either, but there's absolutely no need to insult Harriet Tubman, who's dead and gone and had absolutely nothing to do with any of this. And regardless of who doesn't like it, Blacks have been a part of this country since at least 1619, which makes them one of the oldest and most native of all population groups.
Obama's already got people projecting him onto Abraham Lincoln and suddenly becoming Confederates. Now he's got Harriet Tubman being treated like some contemporary radical "white privilege" golliwog.

“Sources told the site that he has also decided to keep Alexander Hamilton on the front of the $10 bill.”
Most likely because of the sucess of the Broadway musical called “Hamiliton”. Heard the performaces are always sold out.
