What a great day in American history, when we get that mean old Andrew Jackson off the twenty.

I knew we were toast some time ago, but crap like this just confirms my beliefs.

Meh, Old Hickory wouldn't want to be on reserve notes in the first place. It's kind of like spitting on his grave.

Those are some interesting candidates. I just can't see looking down at a twenty--probably the most popular bill in use today--and see Margaret Sanger there.

Probably Obama wanting to replace Andrew with himself.

That's lost on most folks.

out of curiosity, why does this bother you? We have to update banknotes every so often for security reasons, so why not consider changing the person who is on the note, as well?

I mean we can debate who should be on them, but i don't really see a reason that changing the person would really confirm that we are 'toast'

Yep, putting his likeness next to the words "Federal Reserve Note" is the ultimate insult.

It's not that they want a change, but why. Not sure why you didn't get that?

You know damn well that if the put Susan B. Anthony on it nobody will spend them. History always repeats itself.

not at all. I get why they want the change. And my question is still valid.

If we have to go through the process every so often, why not consider changing the person (which is what they are wanting). They feel a woman should be on a banknote, so why not consider it? Just because someone might disagree with this group's why, that doesn't change the fact that the idea might have merit.
