$20 Bill

Personally, I think dead Fed Chairmen would be more appropriate. After all, civil rights leaders had absolutely nothing to do with the mess that is our monetary system today.. : )


Treasury Removes Jackson From $20 Bill, Will Replace Him With Harriet Tubman

Tyler Durden on 04/20/2016

Presenting an artist's impression of what your new $20 bill will soon look like.


It's official.

Moments ago Politico reported that the U.S. Treasury will announce that it plans to replace former President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman, the sources said. There will also be changes to the $5 bill to depict civil rights era leaders.

This is a very touchy issue because anyone who happens to think that Jackson should stay on the bill will be called sexist and racist.

Wonder who will ever go on the 100 bill?

Based on their current definitions, I wouldn't be too put off if they did. But considering Jackson was strongly against fiat money, vetoed the first central bank bill, putting him on today's $20 bill is an insult.

Caitlyn Jenner, if things keep going the way they are in this world.

I vote for ronnie coleman, hitting a front double bicep.

In a statement, the Treasury also announced that the new $20 note will keep an image of Jackson, who was a slaveholder, on the back. Treasury Decides To Put Harriet Tubman On $20 Bill

That sounds like a great idea having famous bb'ers on all dollar denominations. Arnie should go on the 100 as he is the king of bodybuilding IMO.

No Frank Zane.It's about aesthetics.

Frank Zane for the $20, Ronnie for the $50

Or is it the other way around

So tempted to write to the Treasury about this idea and wonder how well received it will be? Maybe worth a few chuckles though!

Frank zane is ok. Ronnie was waaaay huger though, the main reason i like ronnie is because of the way he trained honestly, always lifted heavy.

I think it would be cool if we could get the Iwo Jima flag raise on a coin to show respect for the troops.

Be awesome on a dollar coin even if a limited edition run.

Another idea is having the Twin Towers on a coin to honor those who died on that infamous day 9/11/2001. Perhaps the coin be made out of any remaining steel from the towers.

"What'chu talk'in bout Willis?"

I have no issue with Harriet Tubman or Jackson, they are part of U.S. history. What's disappointing is the expression on her face. She looks like a young Gary Coleman from Different Strokes. The artist couldn't or wasn't allowed to show a different expression?

Perhaps there are other pictures of Harriet Tubman existant that could be a better choice.

I'd buy that
