Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill?

[norseamd]

George Washington is on both the quarter and the dollar. Retire him from the dollar, and replace with a nice symbol of our nation. Get rid of Jackson, who was horrible on human rights, and - if you're going to time it for the bicentennial of women getting the right to vote - then use someone who had something to do with women getting the right to vote. (Duh.) Susan B Anthony or someone along those lines.

No.

 

[zinfamous]

Yep, agree. There's no reason to change who is on that bill except to make some group of SJW's happy.

and Obama. Don't forget Obama. He's somehow involved in this.

Well, if in fact any kind of change would be made to the currency it would have to happen at his direction, so yes, if they make it change he would be one of those to blame.

Because in PokerGuy's mind, putting anyone on our currency that isn't white male requires "blame".

When I first read this story I was actually excited to see what the misogynists on ATOT were going to do with it.

 

[norseamd]

How about we replace that shithole Jackson with Tecumseh?

In the mind of an idiot, anyone who doesn't see a reason why we have to change who is on a bill must be opposed to it because of race or gender. It's the only explanation, obviously :whiste:. Are you also one of those idiots that thinks the only possible reason anyone could oppose any of obummer's policies is because of his race?

 

[IronWing]

Maybe we could have scratch and sniff money.

 

[brycejones]

Yep, agree. There's no reason to change who is on that bill except to make some group of SJW's happy.

Oh, there's a good reason to do things, to try and make some group you don't like mad! Yay for 'logic'. Idiot.

So its bad if it might make someone happy and its bad because it might make someone mad. When the frack would we change anything in your world?

Exactly!

 

[IronWing]

We should bump Jackson down to the five dollar bill. We should do this for reasons.

Also quite the douchebag, but I like where you're going with this.

 

[norseamd]

How about Sitting Bull?

 

[zinfamous]

How about Sitting Bull?

That would be quite fitting, but would never fly.

 

[norseamd]

That would be quite fitting, but would never fly.

Thing is he was not much of a saint or at least not in his early life.

How about her?

Just need to Americanize her first. :'(

 

[Jaepheth]

If you don't like change then don't use $20s
:sneaky:

 

[finglobes]

I've never liked the idea of having the President responsible for the Trail of Tears being immortalized in our currency, this is a good change.

Considering that the tribes involved owned slaves and fought for the Confederacy the ToT may have helped weaken the eventual pro-slavery factions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate_units_of_Indian_Territory

We should replace Grant on the $50's with William T Sherman, just to give the south a good reminder.

Man, they hate that guy!

You might as well put Napoleon on the 5 Euro note.

(as you probably know, this is why Euro notes, which are the same for all Eurozone countries, only have architecture/art/symbols--One nation's icon more than likely is hated by surrounding nations, lol)

 

[norseamd]

Man, they hate that guy!

Sherman is fucking awesome!

 

[Blackjack200]

Lol, you wouldn't find a $50 bill South of the Mason Dixon line.

 

[norseamd]

Lol, you wouldn't find a $50 bill South of the Mason Dixon line.

Well if we made preparations we could legally turn the South into slave labor via incarceration for destruction of legal currency and actually get another prosperous American Century for the rest of us.

I always like the idea of putting an astronaut or some other symbol of the American Space program on a bill. IMO, that's probably our greatest accomplishment as a nation (or close to it). It doesn't even have to be a specific astronaut, just the suit or a rocket. I think Canada might have a bill like this already, which is a great idea that we can adapt to fit in with our currency.

Very simple. You don't change things to make one fringe group or another happy, and you don't change things to tick off one group or another. You change something when it makes logical sense to do so.
