lokisnow Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The American Genocide Jackson (who swept a continent for an ethnic minority, transported them across said continent to be forcibly Concentrated into Camps known as 'reservations') is being removed from the $20 bill! American's daily celebration and pride in their crimes of genocide is finally scheduled to end! http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-harriet-tubman-20-bill-20160420-story.html Harriet Tubman will officially grace the new $20 bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much so that no new $1 coins have been put into circulation since 2012, although the Mint still produces a few each year that go into storage.

But my point was that the dollar coin was so unpopular when it was available that the Mint would never actually try forcing it on people. I thought they stopped minting the dollar coin not because it was unpopular but because the NPR program "Planet Money" exposed a massive seignourage loophole in the dollar coin return program that allowed the unscrupulous to make a tidy profit. Congress responded to the podcast/broadcast by simply axing the dollar coin minting altogether, as it was more expedient than waiting for Treasury to make a rule change fix in the usual 19000000 year timeline of public comment rule change regulation process.

White Walker Texas Ranger Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 American think of coins as change, not real money. It'll take a lot of time and effort the change that mindset, and it's frankly not worth it, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerHaHa Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Good call on Tubman, and she's a fantastic choice IMO to replace Jackson. One tough woman, her story and history pretty much should end the debate about American women being allowed into combat slots in the military. Of all the Republican-Abolitionists I've read about, she has impressed me the most. Here in Canada we have a pretty tough female on our 20$ bill already. We phases out the penny as well.
