| Glad they are replacing Jackson and not Hamilton. Hamilton was one of the most important founding fathers. Jackson was a crude, slave-owning populist. |

I wonder if TN will ever replace its 500 roads called old hickory Blvd. there's one in every town.
Maybe in 100 years... |

Finally, the government actually did something, and it was exactly right. So much faith restored. For today at least.

| I'm not sure which is greater news: the part that Tubman will be on the bill or that Andrew Jackson will be removed! |

Even better, women will also be on the backs of $5 and $10 bills. Of course, this happens at a time when currency is used less and less, but at least it's happening!!!!

| Love this!! I hope they have a better pic of her though to put on there. She looks very grumpy in the pic that the news keeps circulating and it's not how I would picture her. |

People didn't smile for portraits back then. Everyone looked grumpy. |
