It's official Harriet Tubman will be on the 20 dollar bill. About time

Treasury to keep Hamilton on $10, put Tubman on $20

If you want to get paid in something actually "worth" something. Get paid in pennies.

Melt the pennies down and resell the copper... Then you will get more "worth" from your money, than a printed piece of paper, that has nothing backing it.


$100 in(old) pennies, will pay you almost $400, in copper weight.
The new pennies made with the different backs, have a lot of tin and are no longer pure copper.

$2.24 an ounce, as of noon today
A $1 roll of pennies weighs....

This is great news!

Usually I don't care much for symbolism, but I can't wait to see Harriet Tubman on my $20 bills.

I was trying to think of that person when I first heard the $20 bill would be changed. GOOD CHOICE.

As long as it spends, you can put Harriet Miers on the $20 for all I care.

The govt is going to stop making the 2 dollar bill. They will replace it with a 3 dollar bill with Bruce Jenner on it.

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.
