Author Topic: Americans choose Harriet Tubman to be on the $20 bill  (Read 48769 times)

Don't they issue special edition coins every once in a while? Harriet Tubman was indeed an important but of history, but generally not as important to the era as, say, Lincoln.
Alternatively, we could regularly rotate historical figures on all our bills and coins. That would be another fair solution.
Flash forward thirty years, I guarantee you the $1, $5, $10 and $20 denominations will all have pictures of either MLK, Malcom X, Rosa Parks, Barack Obama and Harriet Tubman on them.
What makes you think that?

oh you guarantee that?

man your racism isn't even fun, it's just pathetic

really though that would be forgetin cool if they put cryptids on money
i would save the stuff out of a coin with the dover demon on it
Every time they produce new notes/coins there should be a small portion that have monsters and things on them instead of presidents.

Or them hiding in the backgrounds.

We want to promote diversity, and show that not every influential figure is white.

"Right now, our currency is very male and very white. A grassroots campaign called Women on 20s hopes to change that, and started an online petition to replace Andrew Jackson on the twenty."

im getting some ban bossy vipes

-nevermind-


i want a loch ness dollar
I whole heartedly support this

why are obama and tubman in that list

I don't mean to demean their actions, but why are they grouped with civil rights activists

to quote dave chapelle

"our money is like baseball cards with slave owners on em!"

I was hoping for Elanor Roosevelt, but Tubman isn't bad either. I still think FDR needs to be on money, though.

I dunno.
Do you know how many American TV shows/cartoons/comics/books/movies/etc.. that have had stories based on people looking for Bigfoot?
He's clearly an important part of what America is today. Also, it's a joke. :)
I know :)


Quite sad to me, couldn't there of been someone else (a women) who made more contributions to society? Eleanor Roosevelt? Betsy Ross?
betsy ross???????? she made a FLAG. and we don't even know that she actually did it
harriet tubman saved people's lives
Even an unattractive lady (Eleanor Roosevelt) is prettier than Harriet Tubman, anyone is. It's like at a company, nobody wants to put an ugly person in charge of anything. Nobody is asking for a ten, but someone that looks presentable. Heck, if I owned a fortune 500 corporation, I'd never allow someone who was absolutely hideous to be a CEO or have any leading role.
do you jerk off to money? or something?

regardless of what lincoln did, he did it for the wrong reasons, and I don't think he needs to be honored for it
