NO ! I will not be Collecting them or accepting them ! I will be demanding $10.00 & $50.00 in change instead . Any Tubman $20.00 note will be returned to bank with Negative comments written on it to let the BEP know they Goofed again .
Put her on the $1.00 coin that nobody uses !

 

Do you hear that bureau of engraving and printing, we dont like the new
Design, Your bosses here on coin talk have spoken....LOL

 

They better print twice as many 10s as normal because I rather have two 10s than one of those 20s.

 

Anybody here have two $10,s for a $5...Made you think about it...LOL

 

Ah, that's already on the Eugene Delacroix 100 Francs.

 

Any snowflakes stupid enough to engage me in name calling will be quickly running home, screaming for mommy.

 

Eh, Eddie. You don't realize that being a male automatically makes you a misogynist!
That's what politics are these days, unfortunately.

 

NO, common and boring...

 

So someone gives you a Tubman $20 for something in the future you will refuse it knowing that the law will say it is legal tender for debts and by doing so you cancel the debt??? Talk about cutting off a nose to spite your face. Of course you will take it. You can grumble about it, but you will take it, I bet you a $20 when they are out.

Your analogy is completely ignorant- declining a form of payment does not "cancel the debt". Have you heard of certain vendors refusing $50s and $100s? Some shops I've seen even refuse card payment.
Usually you will be within your rights to ask the person owing you a debt for another form of repayment.
Example: You ask for $20 cash back at the store- the cashier reaches for a 20, but you want 10s. Does the cashier slam the till at your "unreasonable" request (thus leaving you cashless)? NO!

 

What I didn't like was when I went into a Kinkos to make 1 single copy (7 cents?)
and they refused to accept cash.
"You can buy a $10 card."
"I only need one copy."
"You can use a credit card."
"It's 7 cents I want to pay cash."
They refused to take cash.
That was 15 years ago and I have never walked into a Kinkos ever again.
I mean I understand it's easier bookkeeping for them, and harder for employees to steal cash that way. But my money says good for all debts public and private. I guess that's not true.

 

I just have to shake my head that so many people get so triggered at the notion of an unfamiliar face on paper money...

 

“Triggered” is a trite term. You also mixed up the terms “unfamiliar” with “unnecessary”.

Please tell me Jeff, why are so many people “triggered” by a FAMILIAR face on currency?

 

You must live in one of the states whose $20 bills have that phrase removed from the bill, you know the one that says :

"This note is legal tender for all debts, private and public" signed by the US treasurer.

but anyway are you still saying you would not take such a bill for payment and walk away???

I think the majority is simply stating that they dont like the design
And i am included in that, i think if it ever does come out there
Will be allot of unhappy people
And i want to make this clear race has know bearing on this, i would
Feel way better giving this honor to the likes of Ronald Regan or
Gerald Ford

 

You are probably not aware that a merchant is under no obligation to accept a Tubman $20 as a form of payment. You still never explained how the “debt cancels”. A store has the right to refuse any kind of money. If a store doesn’t take your $20, and you falsely believe that you aren’t obliged to pay, then you are shoplifting!

A young cashier at the grocery store disliked my 1980s $20, and wouldn’t take it- even though it is “legal tender for all debts public and private”. I had to give him a newer 2009 $20 I had.

As I said before, $50s and $100s are often shunned even with their LT status.
A local swimming pool I attend has a $4 entry fee, and they don’t take 20s. You can argue with their staff about the LT status of US currency.

 

I had another thread on one of these 5s being rejected by a store.

 

A vote was cast for Lady Liberty on all bills and coins. Not much Liberty for Lady Tubman.
