LOL. So, you are a racist and the ATM will only give you Harriet Tubmans.

"The new designs, from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, would be made public in 2020 in time for the centennial of woman’s suffrage and the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. None of the bills, including a new $5 note, would reach circulation until the next decade." NYT

Counterfeiting has become a new nuclear arms race. The public, including people of bad intent, has access to some very sophisticated printing and engraving equipment nowadays. The Mint is constantly having to up its game to stay ahead of the counterfeiters. As long as we use paper bills, the government will have to be more and more aggressive to protect the money supply. I'm not sure what the long term solution is, but I foresee a time when every purchase point that accepts cash will have some kind of bar code reader that establishes the legitimacy of each individual bill.

My brother is already one of them. He does everything in cash. He is a bit over the top with his opinions, but there are many others out there who feel the same way.
And dont think many in government would LOVE to be able to track every transaction by every person. That will only get worse.

Harriet Tubman to Replace Indian Killer and Slave Dealer Andrew Jackson on $20 Bill
Steve Russell
4/20/16

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced on April 20 that Indian fighter Andrew Jackson is about to get removed from the $20 Federal Reserve Note. Since Jackson was also a slave monger, he might spin in his grave on the news he is to be replaced by an ex-slave, Harriet Tubman, conductor on the Underground Railroad.

The only woman ever to appear on the face of a U.S. bill was Martha Washington, who graced a copy silver certificate at the very end of the 19th century. Around the same time, the only Indian ever to make the front of a bill was on a $5 silver certificate. That would be the Hunkpapa leader Tȟatȟóka Íŋyaŋke (Running Antelope) who walked on only three years before he appeared on the money. There has never been a black person on U.S. paper money.
