The Indians have wanted this for years. Jackson is not one of their favorites to put it mildly. And only this president would let this happen

But, just what did Harriet ever do for me?

I’m sympathetic to the Indians here. Jackson was a true Democrat. I know the timing is bad b/c this prez allowed it.
But at least we saved the founder of financial capitalism!

Next up...Michael Brown on the hundred!

Well, they’re replacing a Democrat with a Republican. That ought to count for something................

Stinkin' Obama - he wants to be in our face for the rest of our lives - so he puts his (might as well be) on the currency.
Well I got news - no (new) $20's will inhabit MY pockets when this change happens...

“knock Andrew Jackson off the front of the $20 in favor of Harriet Tubman”
They couldn’t find anyone more important in history, than Tubman?

And not to soon, paper money will go the way of the silver and gold certificates.

This was a compromise, because Washington is keeping the Redskins!

Jackson was a sleazy DEMOCRAT. I don’t shed any tears for removing him, although I’m sure they could have found someone a little more important to the country than Tubman.

A Broadway play influencing keeping the $10 and changing the $20 instead is hogwash. Someone said ‘hey, let’s be more IN YOUR FACE and pick the bill dispensed by ATM’s, the $20!!!”. THIS is the reason they switched it to the $20, the $10 is more scarcely used in circulation.
My ATM recently gave me the option of taking cash in $10s instead of the usual $20s. Brilliant!
But I suddenly feel hungry for pancakes.....
