Trump should undo this completely. Messing with American currency is very risky as it is necessary for Americans to believe money actually has value.

Exactly! Because putting the picture of black woman on the twenty is going to devalue the American dollar! You're literally saying there is so much racism in the USA that Americans won't think the money has value if there's a black woman on it.

Oh god Joko, you just can't make this **** up! Well done! :lamo

The whole thread is trolling. It's a chance for the OP to indulge his need to hurl charges of racism against someone.

Harriett Tubman on the $20 bill is actually a breaking news topic due to Mnuchins decision. Your butthurt about Tubman is not.

Oh good = another stupid lib-tard thread not based on reality. Paper currency bills redesigned take a long time.It isn't simple as in pick a portrait and start printing.The designs have to have carefully chosen, the printing plates have to be engraved, the security features have to be implemented to deter counterfeiting and I am sure there are other processes involved in the creation of a designed or redesign of paper currency.

Why the Harriet Tubman $20 Bill Will Take So Long to Circulate | Inverse
In the age of Photoshop, meme creators, and GIF generators, it may seem like a simple and easy task to change the face on the $20 bill from the slaveholding Andrew Jackson to the Underground Railroad-leading Harriet Tubman. But that redesign, announced Wednesday, will take up to a decade – or longer – before it’s seen in circulation.

snip..

Chris Battaglino, owner of the website PaperMoneyGuide.com, explains that the wait for these redesigned notes could be lengthy, as he estimates the bills will start circulating years after the 2020 design announcement. Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew says he’s instructed the various parties in the process to accelerate the production of the $5 and $20 notes, but consumers wouldn’t likely see the bill in-hand until roughly 2023 at the earliest — or perhaps even over a decade from now.

I expressed no opposition to it. You can't read.

The Confederacy was fighting Sierra Leone? In that case all the more reason to eliminate every single one of the statues erected in "honor" of the slaveocracy"

:roll:

Next time try to engage what passes for your brain before you try to be clever.

Who is talking about the Confederacy fighting Sierra Leone? Maybe you should take your own advice, no matter how inappropriate it is.

I'm talking about Sierra Leone where "your family could be sold off at a whim and your female family members could be raped with impunity". That's how the slaves got here.

That sounds more like the US with all the selling and raping of slaves.

Obviously they teach it better than in some red state where people believe Seirra Leone was an independent country back in the slave-trade days. :roll:

Gee, and why were they enslaved in the first place?

Because the South wanted slaves.

What happened when they got to the US?

Their families were often sold apart and their female family members were raped with impunity.

Hmm.....

Thomas Jefferson comes to mind.
 
Tubman's fate had been in doubt since the 2016 campaign based on critical comments by then-candidate Donald Trump, who branded the move an act of "pure political correctness."

Mnuchin would not say whether he supported keeping Tubman on the redesigned $20. He said under the revised timeline, that decision will be left to whoever is Treasury secretary in 2026. Mnuchin said the redesigned $20 bill will not come out until 2028 which he said means that a final design for that bill will not be announced until 2026.


From OP link. Odd that they would put 2020 in the title. Anyway, I'm not surprised that Trump's people act like Trump.
