    I realize Jackson is controversial, but he was also the ONLY president to eliminate the national debt, ever. If anyone deserves to have their face on money, it's him.

    What did I say that was SJW? Or are you just using your favorite snarl word regardless of whether or not it applies? And because there are more influential women in history, you'll refuse to use the bill? How does that make sense?

    Glad to see this change. Andrew Jackson was a piece of shit while Harriet Tubman worked to both free and save lives from slavery.

    Edit: holy typos batman!

    It's not his slave owning that people demonize Jackson for. It's his genocide of Native Americans.

    I would prefer it if they took people off currency entirely. They can put animals instead or something else politically neutral.

    Nice, a reminder that physical currency still exists.

    I have absolutely no idea what's printed on bills here except for the number.

    You're from the UK. You're not carrying 20s anyway!

    Not really. The national debt has greatly benefitted the US. And the only way Jackson eliminated it (very temporarily, since he didn't actually balance the budget) was because he sold off a bunch of land he obtained by killing or driving off the Native Americans living there who had helped him out in the War of 1812.

    NY Times does apparently.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/21/us...et-tubman.html

    WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department will announce on Wednesday afternoon that Harriet Tubman, an African-American who ferried thousands of slaves to freedom, will replace the slaveholding Andrew Jackson on the center of a new $20 note, according to a Treasury official, while newly popular Alexander Hamilton will remain on the face of the $10 bill.

    So you admit there were better candidates but are fine with this? Got it. Hand grenades for you.

    There's a certain monster on the internet with the word "tub" in it's name, which causes my mind to wander to horrible places when seeing Harriet's last name. I wish it wasn't so, but certain things can never be unseen.

    Other than that, if you're going to have people on your money, this isn't a bad choice.

    Money is covered by people we don't care about. They need to update the money for the people of today that really matter.

    I don't understand why Kayne West isn't on Money, he's told everyone countless times, he's a genius and the voice of a generation.

    Smart people carry cash with them always. If you're going to get mugged, you are more likely to survive if you hand cash over quickly than if you had no cash at all.

    Yes I'm fine with it. Because she's still an excellent candidate.

    I can understand being upset that Leonardo DiCaprio won an Oscar instead of whoever you prefer, but that doesn't mean you should boycott DiCaprio movies. He's still a great actor.
