Part of the brain is evolved specifically to recognize faces, and so putting faces on currency helps to make counterfeiting more difficult. Even a slight difference in a face would be easily detected, even by children and the illiterate.

maybe in the days before photoshop and scanners, but today copying a face is easy enough. There's a lot of anti-counterfeiting tech in the $20 bill, but it's in things like watermarks, labels, and extremely fine print and lines.

I just don't like the idea of deifying people.

Currency and deification are not inherently connected, contrary to whatever misimpression might have been created by the unfortunate 1950s legislation signed by President Eisenhower to put "In God We Trust" on every piece of currency.

In fact, I had been thinking almost the opposite about the proposal to put MLK Jr. on money. He sacrificed financial opportunities and risked his life and reputation to help people who didn't have money, including leading a poor people's march on Washington. The idea of putting him on money surprised me as much as putting Reagan's name on an airport.

Put Reagan's mug on American currency,he was as worthless as the fiat money.

I wouldn't wipe my ass with Ronald Reagan faced toilet paper.
Fuck Ronald Reagan's: “Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”

Eight years as CA .Governor ,eight years as U.S.President. Big Govt. paycheck lover.
Tax raising asshole, must have been looking for more taxpayer dollars.

HEY YOU says

Tax raising asshole, must have been looking for more taxpayer dollars.

Regale us with how that is so.

No, but they often go hand-in-hand. See zzyzzx says

Whats the diff?

Make that image belt-fed, and I will sell all my assets and convert them to twenties.

This won't do?

Belt-fed Tubman is what America is all about.

The Belt-fed did not come out until after Tubman's time.

The thing about the shotgun is (in my best Bill Burr voice) spread.

FortWayne says

Now all problems are solved

NO, everyone knows that the only solution to all our problems is reducing taxes on increments of income over 250K

Deficits might be bad, but when they are caused by not taxing the wealthiest 2% of Americans enough, it's good because of how much of that money that would have gone to government investment in things like infrastructure, scientific research, and not deficit spending, trickles down to our economy via the job creating investments.

FortWayne says

Your home boys are changing the $20.

Just because you don't differentiate between the many vastly different political groups does not give you the right to put them all under one label, dumb ass.

Furthermore, you have cowardly refused to answer a simple question. What the fuck is your problem with there being a black woman on the $20 bill? Why does it matter so much to you?

I answered it twice, you just refuse to read it. I don't have a problem with a black woman, I have a problem with why they are changing a $20 bill. The only black woman with whom I have a problem with, is you Dan.

I'd like to know how getting Tubman on the 20 dollar bill is supposed to help get Hillary elected. It's not easy for FortWayne to surprise me with his idiocy, but he still manages to sometimes.

FortWayne says

they are only doing it to make Hillary look more presidential

Wow, sexist and racist in one breath.

FortWayne says

I have a problem with why they are changing a $20 bill.

Exactly who are "they"?

Exactly what do you think the reason behind the change is?

Exactly why is that reason a problem to you?

They (Democratic party elite that pulls Lews strings) think having a chick on a money gives Hillary more credibility. So that they can do a feminist media campaign when she is eventually "preselected", (Sanders never had a chance, don't kid yourself, your vote don't matter when Hillary runs unless it is for Hillary).

Jackson was the last President to close down the US central bank. They tried to assassinate him for it. I think he was only on their initially as a mocking gesture.
