Ask yourself,"Would 10 year old you rather get a twenty dollar bill or twenty golden coins?" Actually coins are perfect for giving wedding gifts to siblings...

Could also be a subliminal anti-gun or anti-dueling message? Dollar coins are great as collector pieces or commemorative coins for numismatists, terrible as regular currency. They are fantastic for the velocity of money. I would look for anything to purchase just to get rid of those damn coins. fuck me, but they should just put pictures of guns on the currency, or at least on the two dollar bill/coin.

DireWolfSpirit Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Canada could make us an Alanis Morrisette coin. Quiz question: Which country has Eddie Murphy on one of it's bills lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Case in point - Lincoln's biographer was asked which party Lincoln would belong to if he were alive today. The biographer said he'd be a Democrat).

Fez Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Also, are we really making who goes onto the currency into a political battle? Having Tubman on the $20 is not going to secretly advance a conservative agenda, its just a way to celebrate who she was. Just like renaming DCA to Ronald Reagan National Airport didn't end up turning northern Virginia Republican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sologdin Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 it's the obverse of the old ann coulter argument that the KKK is leftwing. FFS. ayn rand's thesis was that racism, monarchism, and socialism are all altruist-collectivist evil. what is up with the rightwing willful blindness?

Nah, the $20 will be changed again before A Dream of Spring is ever released. Maybe even before Winds of Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wager almost everyone who handles that bill will see a black woman rather than any of the other stuff, so in terms of symbolism it will signify race and gender more than any other message conservatives may want to get out there.
