it's not important, it's a coin....
but if it's a bill, and it's the first time the media (ie, the shroomery, also) hears tell of a black woman being 'foisted' into our concern, for the fact of her replacing Jackson on a 10$ bill, then it's a bigger deal slightly.
but hey, change is good. i guess i shouldn't complain (but how people cannot see the flip-flopping is...typical. one moment it's controversial, the next it's not, because it suits a narrative. LOL)

there already was a controversy, when Harriet Tubman was proposed to replace Andrew Jackson on the 10$ bill.

how much of that coin is actually gold? the price of gold is lot more than 100$ an ounce.

Coins like that sell for more than the face value. It would contain one troy ounce of gold, and probably some copper too for hardness.

Thats probably because Andrew Jackson was a president and Tubman is on a syrup bottle

that's missing the point.
there was already a controversy. that's the point. lady liberty replacing some other person, that's pretty much the same instance as switching one famous figure with another. you're saying it was because of Tubman's station as a marketing gimmick, is what made it controversial? i'd say it has to do with the fact that people thought her history wasn't prevalent enough to replace the old guy on a bill whom was there long enough, and given that who is on the bill is fucking unimportant crap, it shouldn't matter replacing him...but giving away the spot on the bill to a black woman to appease people's "sensibilities" = evil play of the race card to "win" the spot over the old coot that was there before.
people make a big controversy about stupid shit...but they make even bigger controversy over this particular breed of stupid shit.
so why? and how is that previous (& controversial) event any different from this one? why was that previous event controversial at all?
these are the questions one's gotta ask themselves when they think that replacing some old person with some other old person, on a bill, is so fucking important to people, when simply switching some people out for someone else is essentially the norm when it comes to societal boondoggles being given a human name & face.
