1. Just as long as I don't see the word 'Reagan' in this news.

I'd rather see Carrot Top on currency.

2. So glad to hear it, Blue_Adept.

Harriet Tubman's presence on the $20 bill was a brilliant decision and will go far toward changing how we see ourselves as a people.

Much needed, long overdue.

6. I prefer the penny actually because it has very little actual value much like a Trump. nt

7. Why are they waiting until 2030? There's going to be

2 revisions of the $20 bill in that timeframe?

8. Well first off they dont have final approval for one thing. Once they get that they will

will then have to go through a process to decide which photo or portrait to use and then they have to finalize what the new bill will look like and only then can the plates be made which then have to be inspected and given the ok and that doesnt even count the time it will take to print the new bills and distribute them.
