A piercing barb at sexism, and a change from the RR ’toons (justifiably) flooding the editorial cartoon world. Oh, wait: Harriet Tubman (of Underground Railroad fame); “I can say what most conductors can’t say – I never run my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.”
Good Grief! Just who even gives a heck just whose face is on which denomination, as long as we can have plenty of them in the first place. They could put MIckey Mouse (or Minny Mouse for that matter) just as long as it was still a legal $20 bill!!
Well, replacing the guy who used his savages in Congress to screw over my ancestors and steal their land, not a totally bad idea.Which, while Tubman would be a social “twofer” of sorts, how many dudes out there have paid attention to the fact that the ladies outnumber us, and are not the “minority”??
How pathetic that some women HAVE to have A WOMAN on the money. Good God, get a life. How about doing something that is life changing for the good that gets YOUR picture on the money.
Another fact free post. Inflation has been historically low during Obama’s Presidency. The dollar lost over 3 times it’s value during Reagan’s term, so he must have been a failure, right??
dtroutma: Having become US citizens, my Cherokee ancestors kept their Crawford County, GA, farm until my GGM moved to Texas, but your point is still valid.
hippogriff; yes history has lots of interesting turns. My maternal grandfather grew up on the reservation in Oklahoma with Will Rogers. That relationship led to the first time my mom ever admitted her dad was Cherokee, she’d lost his scrapbook with lots of letters from, and clippings about Will, during one of her moves.

…and it’s the Bureau of Printing and Engraving that prints bills. The mint makes coins.

“LEAVE JEFFERSON ON THE $20 BILL.”
Yet another post from the department of unintentional self satire.

Tubman was not my choice. But OK. A change is good as it keeps the engravers employed.

“Cracked” once made a better suggestion: Advertising space on dollar bills.
