Harriet Tubman Chosen to Replace Jackson on $20 Bill

Post by BTR1701
The Bureau of Engraving & Printing should use this Harriet-Tubman-
with-a-Gat picture for the new $20.

It's perfect. It'll send alt-right racists into a conniption fit and at
the same time will put liberals into a pearl-clutching swoon and send
them and running for the fainting couch over the image of the gun.

Strangely, I feel no such urge.

Just realized... there are now going to be *so* many things that it will
racist or sexist to buy with a twenty. <sigh> (Coming soon from Salon:
"Using a sharpie to turn Harriet Tubman into Mr. T is racist AND
sexist!")

I wonder if certain transactions will now be known as "tubbies"?

And you just know someone at a strip club is going to make a joke about
the Underground Railroad after paying for a lap dance and making it rain
Tubmans.

All I know is that it shoulda been you, Beyonce! Dissed! TubMAN replaces
JackSON. Meet the new patriarchy, same as the old patriarchy.

Why didn't the People vote to choose who'd be on the $20?

We're already holding tax payer funded elections for primaries,
so they could have easily added five or so choices for us vote on.

I've seen three different portraits of Harriet Tubman proposed and none
of them are very... photogenic.

Heard somewhere that there was a suggestion that a representative portrait
of Harriet Tubman be used, modeled by Beyonce?

I don't think it will. Congress would have to repeal the law that put

Is there a law that requires that on the bills? I never heard that before, but

The law is P.L. 84-140, Eisenhower-era legislation. Also during the
Eisenhower administration, Congress adopted it as our nation's motto,
replacing E pluribus unum (which was apparently never adopted in law). It
is a key factor in our defeat of Communism during the Cold War! It's a
blatant violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment,
of course.

The motto appeared on coins during the 1860s, though, so it had been
around for a long time.

I never patronise Starbucks, as I hate multiple food chains, I don't believe in cars, and I love women too much.

For your information, I have used guns (on a target range) and then got on with my ordinary life. My father had a Lee Enfield .303, and then a sten gun in the war, but he didn't want to see another after he was demobbed.

When someone says, "I don't believe in god," it means they don't believe
god exists, not that they have no use for god in their life.

And, yes, I think this thing reeks. I'm not in favor of replacing

the $5 and $10 into some sort of history lesson. However, the pic at

No, they don't have to be (but it probably helps). Hamilton is on the
$10 and Franklin is on the $100, and neither was ever president.
Larger bills than the $100 are no longer in circulation, but Salmon P.
Chase was on the $10,000. He, like Hamilton, was a Secretary of the
Treasury, but Hamilton was the first while Chase was only the
twenty-fifth. I guess they could put anybody on the money that they
wanted to, as long as he or she is dead.

Coins below the dollar are all presidents. The dollar used to have
Eisenhower, but they swapped him out for Susan B. Anthony and, later,
Sacagawea.

BTW U.S. law prohibits the portraits of living persons on any sort of
government securities, so it's not just the money.

This whole thing reeks of racial and sexual politics. Quite frankly, the
only choice to replace Jackson should be Ronald Reagan, but I am surprised
the statists didn't try to get Dear Ruler or Crooked Hillary on it.

Now, now. You've wasted a shot. They're not allowed to depict living
people on money.

I thought they could only be presidents.

No, there are exceptions (Ben Franklin) but you *have* to be dead.

Ben Franklin doesn't make a lot of sense, actually. Because he
encouraged savings accounts? I can't think of his significant
contribution to our monetary system.

Hamilton and Jackson make a lot of sense.

"One of Benjamin Franklin¹s wisest and most famous sayings was, ³A penny
saved is a penny earned.² Therefore it should come as no surprise that
Franklin¹s likeness appears on the U.S. hundred dollar bill."

Franklin depicted on postal savings certificates too?

Dunno, but I thought the 'penny' explanation was unbelievably lame.

Now, if they'd put him on the damn penny ...

I think the quote from the website is laced with irony and that the
writer's intention was to call out the silliness of Franklin being on
the $100 instead of the $0.01.

Hamilton was the first secretary of the treasury, a very important
figure and the reason why he's on currency.

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be on the currency, just that he is
an example of someone who is on US currency who wasn't a president. :-)

Have you ever SEEN our currency? Or read a US History book?

Presidents like Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and Salmon P. Chase?

You really, really, really are BAD at this, aren't you?

Nope, Byrd was a Dem long after the 60s.

Yeah... and he eventually realized that was wrong, and apologized and
spent the rest of his life trying to make it right.

That's the way decent people behave... just in case you were wondering.

I know you'll never see many examples of decent in the circle you
travel in - so I just thought somebody should let you know how decent
people behave when they realize they've been horrible human beings.

Future Senator Byrd founded his own chapter. He dropped out a few years later.
He claimed he was fighting Commies; West Virginia was a hotbed, you know.

Byrd became so powerful in the United States Senate, he was determined to
move the federal government out of Washington into West Virginia one
department at a time. He tried to grab the CIA.

Reagan? The people depicted on currency had specific historical roles in our
monetary system. I don't know what Reagan would be credited with.

Nixon ended Bretton Woods and got us off the gold standard, but no one
would propose that he would appear on currency.

Could you end the Johnston-lite routine, please? From context, I'm using
"currency" to mean "bank notes", not coins. Currency has several money-related
definitions. This whole thread had been about bank notes, till you tried to
force thread drift by mentioning dollar coins. You started discussing
bank notes, not coins, when you mentioned Bureau of Printing and Engraving;
the US Mint makes coins.
