Harriet Tubman $20 Bill Is Delayed Until Trump Leaves Office, Mnuchin Says

Harriet Tubman $20 Bill Is Delayed Until Trump Leaves Office, Mnuchin Says - The New York Times



Very petty move here. I hope the Harriet Tribute Act of 2019 does pass and we get Tubman on the bill sooner than later.[h=1][/h]

Perhaps in 2020, when Democrats regain control of all three branches, the US Treasury will print millions of these. Trump and his 'former' minions would like it, yes? Or, maybe not.

:lol: Maybe not. I would love it though. Oprah is such an inspiration to our young ladies about overcoming the challenges many of us face.

Yeah, but imagine the rants and red face it would cause Trump. It's a sure bet that his face will never adorn any of our US currency, unless someone with a sense of humor suggests his profile to replace Lincoln's on a penny. I think his chances of adorning any US currency is about even odds with his chances of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.

Yep no surprise at all . . what a shame to roll this back and even have it be an issue since it was already slated to happen . . but like you said no surprise . . the movement by the people happened for this when Obama was President so, of course, its being pushed back under this admin. So dumb and so said this is what politics is today . . at lease for some.

Just because some of the bills are Presidents does not mean it can be changed. I have no problem with honoring all Americans on bills who contributed to our great country not just Presidents.

I agree. I actually have no problem replacing Jackson, but if you are looking for an abolitionist type, I would much prefer Frederick Douglass to Tubman. He was one of the most remarkable Americans of any era. Or just go straight to the top and replace Jackson with MLK
 
If Trump didn’t delay this then he’d be sending a message to his racist supporters that he’s weak.

It was set in motion at the end of the Obama administration in April 2016 and should have been set to release in 2020 but Mnuchin is delaying it and although we can only speculate, I am guessing it's no coincidence he's pushing back to sometime in the future where Trump is not President. Trump seems to see a hero in Andrew Jackson although he can barely be bothered to actually remember Jackson's true history.

Actually, it was set in motion in the summer of 2015

Give Trump credit, he knows his base. Just read the comments from his supporters in this thread. Wow.

The comments in this thread from his base are exactly the kind of idiotic comments we've come to expect from Trump Fan Nation.

This is right in line with Trump and his supporters defense of confederate iconography. Allowing her image on currency would send mixed messages to his racist followers.

If the last president hadn't been so weak and incompetent, Tubman's picture might already be on the $20 bill.

We're defending history. Now, your anti-history pals want to remove Thomas Jefferson statues. The statue removal movement is mass stupidity. It's already grown out of control.

Thats not facts, thats an ignorant, hackish take. Try again.
 
Shucks. I just wanted to be able to refer to a $20 as a Tubby. They're ruining our slang here.
 
Everyone should just be patient.

There is no need to rush into things.

In the coming decades, ALL of the denominations will no longer honor presidents (with one exception).

ALL denominations and coins will honor activists, actors, singers, and athletes.
