  - Howard Cosell! -- nm - prayformojo Apr 13, 15:32
  - US currency is the most counterfeited in the world, mostly because we don't change it often. - nic to be determined Apr 13, 15:29 4
    - They don't make changes because a very loud group of Americans is always eager to scream about change -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 15:31 3
      - And how much it costs. Of course the counterfeiting costs a lot too. -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 13, 15:34 2
        
        I think the cost of switching designs is mostly minor. They're always creating new plates, tooling for a new design isn't going to add all that - TWuG Apr 13, 15:49 1

  - It's all about the Tubmans. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:28
- Good because Hamilton deserves to keep his spot and a woman should be on the $20. Jackson doesn't deserve to be on currency. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:20 6
  - In 2030 -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 13, 15:26
  - Though I would be okay with moving Hamilton to the $20 and putting a woman on the $10. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:24 4
    - get rid of them both. John Adams deserves a bill before either of them fools -- nm - the brain Apr 13, 15:26 3
      - Hamilton deserves to stay on currency considering what he did. Adams can have a coin someday. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:29 2
        
        "Why did everyone hate Alexander Hamilton?" -- (link) - the brain Apr 13, 15:31 1
        
        Doesn't matter. He earned his spot. Adams can go get a donut in Boston named after him but he's not booting Hamilton off anything. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:35
- F*ck that sh*t. Hamilton DESERVES recognition. Get rid of that asshole, Jackson, on the $20. -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 15:18 1

    - Why would they when the paper dollar was still available. Nix the paper dollar and coin use will go up. -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 15:20
- Put a woman on the $20. Done. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 15:14 16
  - How about a wholesale reshuffle? Drop Jackson, Grant, and Franklin. Move Washington to the $5, a woman of note on the $10, Lincoln to the $20, - TWuG Apr 13, 15:24 14
    - What's your beef with Franklin and the dollar still has buying power. You can drop they penny and nickel but not the dollar. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:33 11
      - No beef with Franklin, other than I wouldn't miss him on currency. The $1 note needs to go. The $1 coin lasts a LOT longer. -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 15:38 10
        
        Honestly, I wouldn't miss anyone currently residing on our notes and coinage. Let's start celebrating - TWuG Apr 13, 15:43 3
        
        I'd be okay with putting non-political figures but they'd have to be American and no sports figures. - Krusty Apr 13, 15:55 2

        Americans hate them and I can't say I'm a fan. Coins are annoying to carry and are heavier than paper currency. The savings from switching - Krusty Apr 13, 15:40 4
        
        Somehow Canadians have sorted all that out. If we *need* a note under $5, there's the $2. But even that should be a coin. - TWuG Apr 13, 15:45 3
        
        They're also into poutine and ice shuffleboard those weirdos. - Krusty Apr 13, 15:47

      - Nor would "All About the Benjamins" but who gives a fuck. -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 15:28
  - Yeah! -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 15:21

After Steve Miller's rant at his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, the Black Keys regret having been there to introduce him. What matters to me... - Mop Apr 13, 14:50 14
- huh, I hadn't heard about this/miller's comments. what a big bummer, I wonder if something happened ahead of the show - b. Apr 13, 15:01 13
  - I saw his band 40 years ago and he put on a good show. I think it was the Take the Money & Run tour -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 13, 15:03
  - the Hall gave him two tickets (one for him, one for his wife). any more, he had to buy for $10k apiece -- nm - the brain Apr 13, 15:02 11
    - right, I read that; but it would have been known in advance, and it doesn't explain everything. - b. Apr 13, 15:05 10
      - It does sound like he was not alone in being annoyed at some of the things the Hall does and requires. For instance they dictate the songs that the - pmb Apr 13, 15:15 1
        
        I've read about things like that before, but to get to the level of ranting during an acceptance speech is out there. -- nm - b. Apr 13, 15:17
      - That coupled with him having to sign away rights to his performance could explain a "fuck you" attitude for the whole event. - TWuG Apr 13, 15:09 5
        
        it's just wrong to go then. like not wanting to be part of a club that would have him or something. - b. Apr 13, 15:13 4
        
        We're talking about the induction process. That wouldn't be happening without his being vocal at the event. -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 15:19 3
        
        he wouldn't be inducted without being vocal? -- nm - b. Apr 13, 15:21 2
        
        I think you're misreading my post*: Without his rant, the process he exposed wouldn't be a topic of discussion by us. - TWuG Apr 13, 15:27 1
        
        I was just trying to clarify what you meant. :) - gotcha now. - b. Apr 13, 15:38
