Apparently it’s on track to debut in 2030. Each bill has different dates that they refresh on.

I wonder why it takes so long. Look at how quickly they switch up currency in England for new monarchs.

It helps to know exactly who the one person will be and literally have decades to prepare for it, not to mention ample warning considering the prior queen’s age.

Why were you looking for this comment?

It never seems to fail that an thread on Asians is always about something else.

Imagine going into a Harriet Tubman news about being made into a currency and one of the highest rated comments is about another person or race. And Reddit supporting it.

The top comment on the thread has a whole list of people supposedly slated to end up on US currency, and I was confused that Tubman wasn’t on it, as they’ve been talking for years about putting her face on US currency. It is nothing against this list of people (or Anna May Wong), but I don’t think she should be stepped over or forgotten. It’s great all these people will (hopefully) end up on currency.

Imagine if this was reversed. I’d imagine you’d be downvoted. But it’s upvoted when it’s about Asians
