I think I would of preferred MLK... I think he had a bigger impact... The logo could be "I have a dream"... I think Tubman was a great lady but I think MLK is way overdue.. I know it's suppose to be a female emblem... But honestly, I can think of many great ladies but zero that was truly inspiring...
I dont want MLK on a bill untill they rip all 5 off. Id hate for MLK to get a bill replacimg someome while the other 4 remain. Plus I dont like how whites regard MLK and diregard other black leaders. Many whites treat MLK like he was a great example, the only example to follow. Malcom X, Marcus Garvey, Webb Debois, Fred Douglass all had great ideas but whites only appreciate MLK. JFK, Roosevelt and maybe even Eisenhower should be on a bill. I say change all of them or leave them all be. I know what this Tubman thing is about. The feminist asked for it and this is what they got. They dont realize they are getting punked. Well calculated chess move.
Andrew Jackson was not a bad guy. He influenced the spread of Democracy. You cannot judge a man of past time by today's standards.
I like bad guys, im a fan of Lex Luther, The Joker, Megatron, Nino Brown, Tony Montana, Darth Vader, Dr Doom and Andrew Jackson. They were all bad guys, that doesnt mean I dont like them.
If this woman was such a super hero, why not make a new denomination like a $25 bill? And if a purchase is $40 to $50, you use two $25's instead of 3 $20's or 2 20's and a $10
When I break a $100, I ask for two $50's instead of five $20's. The $1's are what drive me nuts, I wish we circulated the $2's. I know they are out there somewhere.
Have no problem with Harriet Tubman being on the $20.
Had no problem with the gov't doing the state quarter series, or the new $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills, or the new nickles or pennies...
Every time a new currency, either coin or bill, is issued it takes a lot of money out of circulation as people start collecting the new ones, collecting the old ones, or both.
Same with $2 bills, SBA $1 coins, half dollars. No matter that their value is only face value, people still like to hold onto them.
There will be some that hold onto the new Tubman bills, some that hold onto the old Jackson bills. Helps keep inflation in check...

Who uses cash in 2016??? I never have more than one or two dollars in my wallet.
A lot of people use cash. What happens when the elctric doesnt work and you need gas or groceries. Don't be so dependant on plastic
