The expression "Dead presidents" to refer to money is no longer going to make any sense.
Now rappers are going to have to say "pay me in Tubmans".
...on the 20 dollar bill, which is probably the most common for everyday transactions.
This is huge!
Last time I checked, we already had bills in circulation that don't feature a president, so I'm not sure how this will change that.
I think this is a wonderful change. Someone said Tubman will be a reminder of how much our country sucks - I assume that means she will be a reminder of slavery. Instead, I see this as a reminder of how great we are when we show the perseverance and bravery to effect great social change. Love it!

The 1899 five-dollar bill had Running Antelope. He was a chief in the Hunkpapa Tribe of the Lakota Sioux. Salmon P. chase was on the $10,000 bill. Ben Franklin has been on the $100 bill for years. It's not always presidents.
It's total poetic justice that Andy Jackson is moving to the back of the bill with Harriet Tubman. I hope he enjoys the view.

Yeah, we need not be ashamed of our history. Harriet Tubman is an American Hero.
I don't care. There are plenty of racists on dollar bills RIGHT NOW. So what difference would it make.
Americans are consumed with memorials and commemorizations. Enough already. There's no need to change faces on the money.
Yeah, it's much better to pretend to sweep dirt under the rug and pretend that it never existed so you can pretend that today is so much worse than the "good old days" that never were.
