Did you support changing the twenty?




http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/08/harriet-tubman-may-not-oust-andrew-jackson-from-the-usd20-bill.html

In an interview with CNBC that aired Thursday, Steve Mnuchin was asked if he supports the switch. Mnuchin said, “It’s not something that I’m focused on at the moment.” He went on to suggest that the change will not be made — without explicitly saying so — by insisting that currency should only be altered for “security purposes.”

When CNBC’s Steve Liesman asked about the “cultural aspects” of choosing who appears on currency, Mnuchin deflected, “People have been on the bills for a long period of time. This is something we’ll consider. Right now we have a lot more important issues to focus on.”

Maybe we should just issue money with geometric patterns and colors on it rather than have people of any ethnicity on them, since the moment you choose who goes and who stays you're absolutely pushing a socio-political/ideological agenda of one type or another, and there will ALWAYS be people who disagree.

Of course, if we did that, then you'd get everyone complaining that we have Monopoly money now, but you're never going to please everyone regardless.



Granted, a completely digital credit based society would generally solve that problem, but then would create the new problem of pissing off all the people who don't want all of their liquid assets being tied to a digital card/account in the first place.

I'm fine with the change, if you can really call $20 bills "change." I don't feel strongly enough to either fight for or against it, though that being said, I agree more with the people who want the change than the people who don't want it.

In this case, more like unnecessary.

It'd still be a pointless change.

It's no good unless it has a black Muslim transwoman.

I only care because they almost certainly considered solely black women for it. That said, Harriet Tubman is probably the best black woman they could've chosen.

I hate when money changes often. It shows lack of faith in the currency, and currency markets often take a hit when a bill is redesigned.

I liked the 'old' currency when all the bills where like the $1 in design. Not with giant faces, and denominations, and designs all over it. It was simple, clean, and official looking.

Now we're drifting into Monopoly money status.

Anyway, Jackson wouldn't probably want to be on the $20. Especially one tied to a federal bank after he broke up the national bank.

I'd like it if they were a bit like this.

While I understand the need for anticounterfeiting measures, I wish it had been kept closer to the previous versions. Even if it just meant keeping the old design and putting that other crap on top of it.

Why would anybody put Grover Cleveland on a bill? >_> Was kinda shocked to learn that was a real thing.

If it was just the old design, and had small 1/2 dime sized polymer hologram or something it would be fine.

Yeah. Beyonce, Oprah, or Michelle Obama. I'm almost positive you must be dead to go on currency.

I can see Beyonce and Oprah, but why would anybody put Michelle Obama on money?

Otherwise:
