The US Mint released commemorative coins honoring abolitionist Harriet Tubman Thursday.

The coins include $5 gold coins, $1 silver coins and half-dollar coins that commemorate the bicentennial of her birth. This is the first time the US Mint has honored Tubman with coins, according to the agency.

        The bigger crime is not that we don’t get her on the $20, which is, indeed, horrible, it’s that the genocidal Andrew Jackson is still on it. Every U.S. $20 bill is a celebration of genocide. And indigenous Americans have to look at them all the time.

            I’m guessing that teacher was a Republican.

        On the flip side;

        Surcharges in the amount of $35 for each $5 gold coin sold; $10 for each silver dollar sold; and $5 for each half dollar sold—totaling $50 for each three-coin set sold—are authorized to be paid to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Harriet Tubman Home, Inc., in Auburn, New York, to advance their missions.
