Some sort of political maneuver because of it being an election year, and mis-placed white guilt about something that happened 150 year ago.e

Ho hum. Paper money is printed in (drumroll) Washington, DC. You can take a tour and buy some by the sheet. Coins come from the mint. SMH at today's youth.

History
When the United States government began minting coins in 1792, the original United States Mint facility in Philadelphia was hard-pressed to produce enough currency for our small country.
As the country grew and the demand for coins increased, it became necessary to expand Mint facilities. This expansion was further fueled by the discovery of gold, first in the Southeast and later in the West, and the need for hard currency which caused people to mint their own gold coins. In the mid-nineteenth century, additional mints were opened in Charlotte, NC; Dahlonega, GA; New Orleans, LA; and San Francisco, CA. In 1870, the Carson City, NV Mint opened, and in 1904 the Denver, CO Assay Office became a mint facility. Today, in order to keep our economy flowing smoothly, the United States Mint maintains facilities in Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, and West Point, and a bullion depository in Fort Knox, KY.
The number of coins minted today is astounding. Denver and Philadelphia can each produce tens of millions of coins every day. Manufacturing the coins to meet the needs of the United States requires a tremendous amount of natural resources. That is why the United States Mint had embarked on projects to reduce our energy, water and material use during coin production. Learn more about the United States Mint's sustainability efforts.

I bet more kids know about Harriet Tubman than Andrew Jackson. I don't think they teach about him in public schools.

If I point out how racist this thread is, I will be accused of being the real racist.
And Republicans wonder why they get so few black voters.
