Andrew Jackson is getting kicked off the $20 bill and replaced by Harriet Tubman. Does this mean we can no longer call them "dead presidents"?

Well, by definition yes

Well Benjamin Franklin was never a president and he's on our highest marked paper currency so yeah, you can still call them dead presidents unless they knock off the rest of them too for other "historically significant people who did not hold the presidential office" . Then it would just be silly.

Neither was Alexander Hamilton. Considering how irrelevant paper money is at this point, I doubt many folks will even notice.

Yeah, the only time I even have paper money in my wallet is when I travel. All other times it's just credit cards.

Put Harriet Tubman on money -- no issue
Continue printing money with Washington, Jefferson, Grant, and Franklin -- doesn't make any fucking sense

All those dudes owned slaves

Also Hamilton and Lincoln were imperialist shitbags too

I'm looking forward to calling $20 bills "Tubs".

There's a certain level of irony of the government forcing Jackson off of his property to go elsewhere.
