Harriett Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill

But we digress
.. To the OP. WHY? I admire the woman. She did a lot of good - for a deeply religious, gun toting Republican... But why the need to change the currency? RE: Harriett Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill

We change our currency all the time. I don't think need comes in. I think that it's amazing that it's taken to just about the end of cash money to deal with the issue of what we represent on it's face.
Had plenty of time to put birds and shit on it.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I wouldn't call that "all the time". 
Who carries cash? I used to for tips but I haven't been to a restaurant in so long that's not even a thing in my world any more.
The only person I pay in cash is the dog groomer who comes to my house. I have a stash of cash here at home for her visits. “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius  (January 25, 2021 at 7:36 pm)onlinebiker Wrote:(January 25, 2021 at 7:32 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: We change our currency all the time.

Sure, Washington and Jefferson were slaveholders, Lincoln violated due process, FDR created internment camps for the Japanese (admittedly meant to be a temporary measure, but that doesn’t make it much better), Grant completely shit the bed on his presidency, and Ben Franklin was probably patient zero for syphilis, but they all had accomplishments that balanced their legacies out. And the accomplishments of Jacksonian democracy are just getting more and more hollow with every generation. His tenure has become defined by his blatant racism, and it’s become clear that that’s not something the government wants to endorse anymore.

Sounds like the twenties had it coming, then. Yeah, all the time. It was Grover Cleveland before that. It's a thing we do, we change the patterns on our minted and printed currencies....but we did seem to fall into a bit of a funk for awhile on that.... Heads for racist, tails for slave plantation. Guess we'll never figure out how that came to be and it's certainly absurd to imagine that anyone might take issue - and it's not like money ever changes, so what gives, amiright?
