Debasing the $20 bill. Our great president, Andrew Jackson, is being thrown on the trash heap. No longer will he appear on the $20 bill. Instead, Harriet Tubman, who was never elected President of the United States, will replace Jackson. It's important that our money reflect history, says the Biden administration. But what about the Battle of New Orleans? Shouldn't we honor the US defeat of Britain, which proved American superiority over those English soldiers? Enquiring minds want to know: Is Biden a secret pacifist, who will lay down like a coward before foreign enemies? ------ ------ 01-25-215:31 pm Harriet Tubman will finally replace Andrew Jackson as the face of the $20 bill “It’s important that our money reflect the history and diversity of our country,” President Biden’s press secretary said. Nearly five years after an initiative to put abolitionist Harriet Tubman on the face of the $20 bill was introduced, White House press secretary Jen Psaki informed reporters in a briefing Monday that the Biden administration is “exploring ways to speed up the process” that was stopped during President Trump’s tenure. Replacing Andrew Jackson on the bill caused an explosion of tweets when it was announced in April 2016. The proposed redesign was made public in 2019 and was supposed to have been put into circulation last year on the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. However, Trump’s Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, halted the process because he believed that adding security features on the money was more important than changing the face on the bill, adding that the redesign wouldn’t be in circulation until 2028. According to a New York Times report, Psaki said, “The Treasury Department is taking steps to resume efforts to put Harriet Tubman on the front of the new $20 notes. It’s important that our money reflect the history and diversity of our country.” | |

I bet in a few years people will be paying with a "Tubby" rather than a "twenty." Maybe combine the two for "twubby?" LOL "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

Very sharp LOL. The reason I remember Andrew Jackson was president was because of the pop song "Battle of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton, released in 1959, when I was still a teenager. The song was a catchy tune that is still enjoyable. Here is the song on YouTube, the version I heard on the radio. At the time, I didn't have a record player, and didn't have any money to buy records, anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjXM6x_0KZk | |

Off topic, please forgive me. I do apartment maintenance. We just had a resident pass and his family left everything in his unit (understandable as he was a world class hoarder) after cherry picking all the valuables. We threw away HUNDREDS of LP's. It broke my heart as I was raised on vinyl. Nothing sounded better. He had almost every genre you could think of, some of them had to be collectors items, first pressings of old motown and country classics. We threw away easily over 1,500 records. Sweet sweet man, very kind person. RIP Rupert! Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.Dr. Ian Malcolm Who's more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?

Off Topic: I would have thought a lot of the vinyl records might have been worth money. Selling them on ebay or whatever. It would have been better (and probably difficult) to try to get an estimate of the value of each record. But vinyl records have come back into fashion. From google: The average eBay selling price for vinyl records is around $15, though vinyl record values vary significantly: from 50 cents to $50 or more. You need to do some research to determine exactly how much your vinyl records are worth. Here are some highly-valuable vinyl records. RECORD: VALUE (up to) Hear the Beatles Tell All: $30,000 I know that value and estimates can vary. And "experts" can give widely differing estimates for collectibles. A coin shop can give you an estimate, for example, of a one ounce platinum coin of maybe $1,200 or less, based on its melt value, but you might see the same coin listed on ebay for $32,000. I'm not saying coin shops are crooks, but they can give you low-ball figures when you try to sell them a collectible coin. | |
