Enough trying to get crunched up dollar bills into vending machines and getting pennies back for change that end up on the ground. I'd love if they rounded to the nickel, dime, or quarter on everything.
If they got away with using pennies back 100 years ago when a loaf of bread was a nickel, I think we can handle rounding to the quarter now. Never gonna happen but I can dream.. my dream would be quarters, dollar, and 5 dollar coins... 20, 50, and 100 dollar bills, and that's it. The politicians want a cashless society though.

Agreed about pennies, nickels, and dimes... we should round to the nearest quarter.
But putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill was not about "OMG we need Harriet on a bill."
The $20 bill is being excessively counterfeited and needed to be changed anyway. "Leaving it the same" was never an option.
And then they said, hey, a woman has never been on a bill before. So let's put one. What is so bad about that?
