Bonespurs is a three dollar bill, and the Treasury Secretary is only interested in enlarging his own treasury, and maybe buy some tiki torches for a party.
I think the paper currency belongs to past presidents….The treasury should make a very SPECIAL GOLD coin for Tubman that will be a collectors item! …after all, that’s what they did for other prominent women in history.
The guys who ran the cotton candy booth at Carnegie-Mellon U’s annual Spring Carnival used to literally do this with the money they collected because it was too sticky to handle & count accurately & the bank refused to take it in that condition. At the end of the day they didn’t even bother trying to count it. They’d just dump it all in a mesh laundry bag & 8-10 of them would take it to the laundromat & stand guard while the machines ran. Then they’d take it back to the dorm for counting. Don’t argue with what works!
Googled and found this: “According to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing , US paper currency is made up of 75% cotton and 25% linen.” Essentially it’s made out of cloth.
If Harriet Tubman is on the new twenty dollar bills, I might start using them again. I want no part in honoring Andrew Jackson (the Native American murderer).
Another option would be to honor great women from history with limited edition coins – such as was done with quarters. And while we’re at it maybe we could, finally, lose the penny and replace the dollar bill with a coin – keeping his image on it to reflect that the First President is on the first unit of our currency.

It’s sad that the only Democrat on paper currency (in current circulation) will be removed, even though he was an awful human being.

Mr Jones has noticed that Mnuchin is spectacularly unprepossessing. He looks quite like one of the uglier members of the Grouper family.

The excuse about counterfeiting is obviously a lie, so Mnuchin and Trump are insulting thinking people as well as disrespecting Harriet Tubman.

The problem is that Tubman just isn’t good looking enough to be on our currency. She’s too…
