    And what would be wrong with it? You just say fuck that shit but don't say why there's anything wrong with it. There's transgender people in our communities. They share your bathrooms they share your country. They are citizens. There's nothing wrong with having one of them on a coin yet you'll find something... We've had nothing but racist white slave owners on our money but the moment somebody else is put there you find something to say. You should be ashamed of yourself but you're not. The people like you will never be.

    When they come out, everybody better pay me in fucking twenties. If you owe me 15 bucks, now you owe me 20. If I owe you 15 bucks, I will pay you in twenties because that's all I have. Yes pay me in Tubmans motherfuckers.

    Tell me what's wrong with having Transgender on our money...

    We have had black people on US gold coins. And since there are a series of US gold coins featured 1st ladies I'm guessing we'll have a black lady on a coin again.

    It is rather funny that people are upset over a fictional character being portrayed as a black.

    Because, it's the idea that we need to get someone onto a coin just because we need to get a certain group of people onto a coin.

    I'm not upset, I just think it's stupid. On the flip side, it would be like someone releasing a white Uncle Remus story book.

    Why do you care who's on the coin?

    Nothing wrong with Liberty for black people.

    Plenty of coins with white faces on them.

    So white lady liberty symbolized liberty for white people?

    I guess that means bald eagles symbolize liberty for bald people.

    Yes, I agree. It's outrageous that we portray Lady Liberty as a woman.

    White Lady Liberty symbolized Jim Crow, slavery and so on.

    I'm not persuaded by you.

    Those people weren't put on coins simply because they were white. They were major leaders in our countries history. So why replace them? You obviously feel that it's a major victory for your race, and will hold these bills in higher value simply because of the race of the person depicted on them. I just think it's stupid. Just a modern lame-brained social justice warrior idea.

    I hope Trump reverses this.

    Based on the pictures of old coins, I can determine that Lady Liberty is actually a dude at a toga party.

    No one has been replaced. In the history of US Coins they are always honoring different individuals and groups of people. It's like stamps. They change them up so people collect them. It's not that hard to figure out.

    "Okay everyone, Trump is president, we can now go back to only having white people on coins and stamps!"

    The statue of liberty is green, I think.

    Jackson is being replaced by Harriet Tubman on the 20 dollar bill. But this just just a silly commemorative coin.

    Maybe because they were racist slave owners? You need to stop telling people how to feel. I don't feel it's some victory at all. I don't feel any vindication nor do I feel any more proud of this racist ass country. But for some reason I think that you would feel Vindication if Trump did reverse the decision. Riddle me that...

    Jackson's racist slave owning ass is still going to be on the back of the bill.
