Change for the $20 bill

[monkeylizard]

Personally, I don't think simply being president warrants the honor of being on currency as I don't think it warrants naming a ship after them.

 

I would generally agree since we have far more POTUSes than bill denominations, but as part of a limited time series I think it could be kind of interesting. I guess we'll never see this on $1 bills since they're doing it on $1 coins, but that's kind of a shame because almost nobody uses $1 coins. Maybe my idea above about each state picking an important person could be the next $1 coin series.

How is Hamilton not a "Founding Father", since he helped draft and signed the original Constitution?

 

- OS

  You got me on that.  I don't claim to know it all.

As old as I am, I don't think I'll ever have to see Obama on any currency. I believe they have to be dead.

It won't piss me off. They change history. They claim Lincoln was a republican.

This will probably costs tens of millons. If not more.

Funny about the libs!!!! Edited April 21, 2016 by Ugly

They want to put MLK on the back of the $5. Personally He was more influential IMO so maybe a new bill with MLK and Ms. Tubman on the back?

 

 

That's awesome. Ain't gonna happen.

To my knowledge, Lincoln WAS a Republican; at least for a while.

Don't worry everyone, soon paper currency will be a thing of the past. Electronic currency will be the way of the future, makes it easier to track and that way you'll be able to only use your allotment. Easier for them to get ahold of it to. Heck, look at Japan and some countries in Europe, already setting limits on withdrawals. Mr. DJT has even suggest scalping a percentage of everyone's accounts to help with the country's debt. No sir, I don't like it. Reminds of the old saying, going to something or other in a hand basket.....

And yes, Lincoln was a Republican, the first one in fact.

[Hershmeister]

I say put jackson on a $40 bill. Thats about what a 20 is worth now

[Steelharp]

I will refuse to accept this "currency."

Why? She was a gun-totin', democrat killin' republican. What's the problem?

[NextExit]

So what?  We're becoming a cashless society anyway.... :tinfoil:

Think the libs will ever figure this out? Their heads will either explode or the more likely scenario is they will just change history.

[Mindless-Focus]

Wasn't Tubman a huge gun rights supporter? I mean huge. I'm fine with her face on my bills.

Andrew Jackson was an iconic American who was considered in his time as the second George Washington and whose own saga, from Revolutionary War orphan to war hero to president, became a metaphor for the emerging American identity. He was truly a self-made man who transformed our republic from a democracy in name to a democracy indeed. He inspired other presidents such as Abraham Lincoln and was revered by both Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton among others. And yes, he also owned slaves, signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, and pressed for its implementation. All of these stories are on display at The Hermitage.

Since the announcement, we have received many calls, emails, and tweets from individuals asking what they can do about the proposed change. In the spirit of Jacksonian democracy where the voice of every citizen matters, we suggest that expressing your opinion to your elected officials and Secretary Lew is appropriate.

I'm on the change it side myself. Consider his hatred for central bankers I always found it a bit amusingly perverse that he was on a central bank note.

Ben Carson has an interesting perspective on this subject,
