Aren't all old retired bills collectibles? I always keep and save, for example, silver certs when I find them.
However I'd say at the same time that there's almost no collectible bills that are substantially worth more than their face value.
Even rare century-old bills are basically face value + $2.
Old notes and coins aren't the type of collectible that is in short supply.
You have to go very far back in time, or find something truly unique (like a misprint) to have anything of value.
You don't know anything about Eleanor Roosevelt, do you?
She used her position as first lady to help further the rights and freedoms of blacks in the USA.
She's be 100% in favor of Harriet Tubman being given the honor.
Oh, somebody will find something.Not a terrible idea, I see little room to complain.
Poetic, that's the word I've been wanting. Yes!It's a solid choice. Although it would've been rather poetic to have a Native American replace Andrew Jackson.

Move Over, Andrew Jackson. Harriet Tubman Is Coming to the $20 Bill.
Harriet Tubman to Appear on $20 Bill, while 'Hamilton' Popularity Keeps Founding Father on $10
WASHINGTON — “The Treasury Department will announce on Wednesday afternoon that Harriet Tubman, an African-American who ferried thousands of slaves to freedom, will replace the slaveholding Andrew Jackson on the center of a new $20 note, according to a Treasury official, while newly popular Alexander Hamilton will remain on the face of the $10 bill……………….
………………. But in the months of taking public comments on what woman he should pick, Mr. Lew evidently bowed to the Broadway-stoked popularity of the $10 bill’s current star, Alexander Hamilton………..
Save them Hamilton bills…………Some say they will be collectibles……….
She is not a woman who happens to be black.
if she wasn't black they wouldn't have considered her.
Don't horde your Hamiltons. Tubman won't appear until after 2030.
I know everything about Eleanor Roosevelt: I have lots o' books on historical subjects. She was a great lady. The biggest and best of the 20th century, and a very tough chick. She was wonderful. I would have gone for MLK on the twenty, but the political angle with Harriet Tubman and the Oscars etc etc, is what pisses me off about it. A woman! Should'a been Roosevelt.
Don't horde your Hamiltons. Tubman won't appear until after 2030.
The better idea is to remove pictures of historical people, and replace them with pictures of the land. Feeding the PC world is a fools errand.
Move Over, Andrew Jackson. Harriet Tubman Is Coming to the $20 Bill.
It's not right. How is it going to sound when I buy a round of drinks and everyone says "he's really throwing around the Tubmans!!!"
Yup. They had to get a twofer.

REALLY...........Can you prove that?
I think not...........
So why did you say that?
Andrew Jackson wasn't a good president so I'm fine with him going. It's a no-brainer to replace him instead of Hamilton. We can stand to replace Ulysses S. Grant too. Great general, but terrible president.
She is not a woman who happens to be black.
if she wasn't black they wouldn't have considered her.
I think it should be a drawing of Tubman directing the Combahee River Raid, have some cannon firing in the background, some plantations being burned, and the American Flag in the foreground.

Good. Jackson was a tool with only 2 good moments: temporarily sticking it to Calhoun and expanding the voter pool.
