Treasury to put Tubman on $20: Official

[lockedout]

Sometimes, but rarely.

Every gas station where I live has two prices, one for cash and one for credit.

Using cash is cheaper than using a credit card. It should be the same price as debit card.

The reason is that credit card companies charge the business a percentage of the total as a "merchant service fee". For debit, it's a flat rate of a few cents per transaction. At least that's how it works here.

For lunch today I had to go to an ATM because the place I usually go had a problem with their registers and couldn't take my card (they usually accept credit or debit - contactless too). I was seriously pissed off. Can't remember the last time I used an ATM, must've been at least 4 months ago. And I rarely carry cash.

What was the ATM charge to get your money?

Yup, but the Credit Card cost generally ends up being the same as the cash cost once you factor in the cash back I get on my card. And even then, most of the places I go don't have separate pricing, so the credit card is even cheaper.

I would have rather seen Teddy Roosevelt or Franklin D. Roosevelt added to the 20.

NO thanks. Both these men did things that fucked up the country so badly that we are still reeling from them today. They are basically bookends for some the most destructive policies and changes made to the constitution.

Yeah, I heard this later on the radio.

Harriet Tubman will replace President Andrew Jackson as the face of the $20 bill, and Jackson will be moved to the back of the bill alongside an image of the White House, Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew said Wednesday

So just use cash?

[Steve French]

Jackson wasn't exactly a looker either.

Honestly, your money is ugly as sin regardless.



Now that's a nice bill.

An old woman with her arm around a half naked young boys ass is nice? A little disturbing to me.

I don't want to be a slave to electronic tracking.

You are already being tracked by just owning/using a cellphone, not using a card when you go shopping won't change anything.

Not everyone can or wants to use a bank for every transaction? Somethings in America are cheaper if you pay in cash as well.

That's a very odd system. Stores in this part of the world doesn't want to handle cash because of the extra hassle that comes with it, not to mention the increased chance of robberies.

Why? The card is easier, and costs the same or is cheaper.

[Adam Jensen]

I will no longer be utilizing or accepting $20 dollar bills.

Why not?

Seriously, I really don't give a shit who's on my money. Put Tubman on all the bills and coinage for all I care.

But then no one would spend money.... every image of her... she has an expression of absolute judgment/disappointment.

I always pay cash, I never use my cards. Just preference I guess. I usually have a few thousand dollars on me, in cash.

I keep $20-40 on me in cash. I don't like carrying around change, so I avoid using cash unless I have no other choice.

An organization called Women on 20s conducted an online poll last year, saying a woman should appear on the $20 bill in Jackson’s stead and asking which one. Tubman, an abolitionist and key figure in the Underground Railroad, came in first, followed by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, civil rights hero Rosa Parks and Cherokee Nation Chief Wilma Mankiller.

LMAO!!!!!!

And now we know.... muwhahahahaha

[Torgent]

What was the ATM charge to get your money?

It's free. I think most banks here have unlimited free ATM use nowadays. Only charge you get is $2.50 if you use an ATM from another bank (luckily there's one of my bank's ATMs nearby), which frankly is highway robbery.

Ahh you said ATM, I thought you meant a random non affiliated one.

That picture is someone's mockup, not the actual new design, which apparently isn't out yet.

Mental note: mug lockedout.

I would feel nervous walking around with more than $100 on me. Kind of irrational I suppose, since I've never been mugged or lost my wallet in my life and it's probably a very low likelihood, but still.
