lmao, kitler you are such a strange person. ILY

i have a change jar and it has coins from all the countries i've visited.  when i'm looking for a quarter i always have to double-take to figure out if it is a weird american quarter or if it is a peruvian sol or whatever...

..annoying. 

 

and don't suggest i seperate my coin jar.  this is the governments fault not mine.

The real annoyance is anyone who gives you change in Canadian. I hate looking through my change after I've taken the right amount and realize one of them is canadian.

Good one



Like that they are changing the $20, and not the $10, like they were thinking. Though, personally, I would have preferred Frederick Douglass.



What's this "cash" you speak of? I've only been using credit and debit cards ever since I've been working.

Just heard about this, very interesting change.

But yes, in our age, dollar bills are starting to become irrelevant.

At least Canadian paperplastic money is very easy to tell apart from US (and from each other)!  Kudos to the US for beating Canada to the punch (but we already had Queen Elizabeth on the $20).

Look...  I don't condone slavery, and I do not know the reasoning behind originally choosing Andrew Jackson for the $20.  But as a male member of the human species of Asian decent with roots from South America, WHO THE HELL IS GONNA REPRESENT ME ON A PIECE OF AMERICAN LEGAL TENDER? 

Probably had to do with him being a war hero as well as some of the good things he did as president like completely get the country out of debt.  Not saying he was an excellent president, but he was a fair bit better than the majority.  But removing him cause he owned slaves is a pathetic excuse.  George Wachington owned over a hundred.  I'm not all that miffed, I just find it silly and a waste of government time and resources.  

                               

   People wanted him removed because he authorized the Indian Removal Act, which forced entire nations of Native Americans to abandon their homes for lands west of the Mississippi river. This policy would eventually lead to the Trail of Tears, which saw thousands of native americans to die in what was effectively a forced death march. Jackson did some good things too, but pretty much the only person less qualified to be on our money is Ulysses S. Grant, who was a mediocre general and an embarassing president.

Also, the $20 was being redesigned anyway. It's a typical anti-piracy measure. The $5 and $10 bills are also slated for redesigns.



Well, looks like no more folded twin towers burning.
