A few years ago they stopped the circulation of any denomination over $100, supposedly to curtail ‘money laundering, and this includes the Chase $10,000 bill. Years ago in a Las Vegas casino window I saw a display of $1,000,000 in Chase $10,000 bills. Then it was impressive!

I’ve always thought the current twenty-spot features Jason Robards, not Andrew Jackson

LOL. I'm not sure what political views Robards had, but at least the guy could do something well, i.e. act. In contrast, the feminist and racial agitators that liberals want to put on the $20 generally weren't good for anything, unless you count subversion and noise-making as skills.

Part of this is the Left's standard attack on "dead white males" and its goal of erasing America's history and western culture in general.

But there's something even more insidious going on here as well. It's not enough to convince most people of politically correct ideology. What is required is a totalitarian system where every aspect of our lives is saturated with political correctness. If they have their way, we shouldn't even be allowed to handle currency (or anything else) until that currency has been stamped with approved ideological messages.
