Thoughts about having Tubman on the $20 bill?
-
It's about time they have some variety on our money. I hope they choose a Native American the next time around.

Completely agree with you. I have no problem with the changing of people on our money. It's about time we have some diversity on our cash. A native American would be great.

doesnt bother me she was a part of saving slaves and helping them to freedom.
-
I like the idea of celebrating other historical figures that helped shape our nation other than just presidents on our money. After all, we are a nation of the People -- not a monarchy or dictatorship -- so the People should be celebrated just as much as any one president.
-
I'm totally opposed to it; changing the currency to reflect political correctness is disgusting. But it's not unexpected, America is extinct, and I suppose it's time the worthless paper money reflected that.
-
I think it is a great idea. Tub was a great hero to the slaves. Part of our history that should be recognized. Native American also deserve the privilege.

I think that should have been the FIRST choice, personally.

There already was a native American on our money. The Sacagawea Dollar, remember is was gold tone.

I think it's wonderful. :thumbsup: There are many people who shaped American and it's a great way to celebrate that. Harriet Tubman was a true pioneer, humanitarian, and hero. I'm in awe of all that she accomplished.
"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." - Harriet Tubman

And still in: when I put a $20 for subway fare when I'm in New York, I get those back instead of bills. Then people get confused when I need to spend it at a store.

It's about time they put a lady on a bill! :thumbsup:

It's a wonderful idea, but there are many more pressing matters facing this country. It kind of seems like a waste of tax payer dollars. It's being one to "educate" the population. If school doesn't...would this change? Probably not. I mean, how many people even know who is on the $50 and what his significance is? Or the $100 bill and what political contributions that person made?
-
I'd rather they left the monies the same person.
-
Its about time that someone of her calibre and her selflessness will dawn a US note. She helped injured people on both sides of the American Cival War and is a true American so this great way to honor her.
-
I think it's great. I hope they continue to show diversity.
-
I say AMEN to having Harriet Tubman on the twenty dollar bill. She is to be commended for all of her great work and how she risked her life to save others. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

I can relate to that. Frustrating because I hate to carry around coins.

I agree that she should be honored. I don't think putting her on money is the way to do it. I don't associate her with currency. It feels counterproductive for what she was fighting for.
-
I don't have a problem with Tubman being on the money. I agree with the person whom pointed out there are more pressing matters to deal with. ie; our national debt. Changing a bill isn't going to change any of the problems that come with our nations financial woe's.
-
they need a change up
-
I think it's pretty cool. Thought she'd be on there when her name was first mentioned. But I agree with some of the other people, while it's a great thing, I feel like there are other matters to focus on.
-
Strictly political move...I think that they should remove all face off the bills and replace with historical locations....
-
It's an absolute travesty and it has nothing to do with Harriet Tubman specifically. We fly the flag at half mass because joe blow the bartender had a headache and we might as well change our flag that has nothing to do with anything. Our country is going/has gone to absolute crap.
-
I agree with having a variety on our money. I totally do agree with Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. When people like Ben Carson and Donald Trump talk about putting her on a $2 bill, which most of us don't even have, that makes me mad. And hopefully soon after, I hope a different face will be on the $50 bill.
-
glad it was a twelve year old who chose Tubman
-
I do not have a problem with a black, a woman or anyone that deserves to be on our money, on there. However, I do have a problem with taking Andrew Jackson off of the $20 bill. What a slap in the face to one of our Presidents!!! I believe that a new denomination, say a $25 bill be created. That way there is no offense to anyone. Harriet Tubman should have her own denomination created for her as I do believe she is deserving.
-
Who is Tubman? I have never heard of him.
-
I think its great... We live in a world that is all about change, so anyone who can't get used to it, or doesn't like it, just leave!!!!
