Of course, there's a cynical part of me that says "oh, of COURSE they're letting a black woman in, now that many people don't use cash", and another cynical part that says "sticking the woman who 'stole' herself and a great many other people on a symbol of capitalist commerce is certainly an odd look" - but the cynical parts can have their say and I'll still be happy about HARRIET FRIGGING TUBMAN replacing Andrew Jackson.
