message: Various Internet sites talk about a really old $20 bill with George Washington. When was it printed?? I believe it was out of the history range on this page by at least a decade. User 66.32.64.190
:I have one. Its a 1922 $20 Gold Certificate. See the gold certificate article. --RThompson82 (talk) 04:56, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Is there any truth the rumor floating around that the current note will be withdrawn and replaced with one without the elm that was toppled earlier this year. it doesn't seem right. after all whats cheaper, replacing a tree or replacing the largest denomination of american back note. i'm from europe so for all i know the tree is already replaced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.70.96 (talk • contribs) 
:Old U.S. currency is never withdrawn from circulation (except for the $500 bill and higher). A design change like this would be highly unlikely due to the steps and money involved in changing a design. --Kurt 06:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it possible to get pictures of older $20 bills on the page?  Particularly the pre-1998 "small-head" bill with the opposite side of the White House on the reverse side of the bill?
:A few old bills were added recently by me to this page. Anyone have more pictures of old $20 bills to add to this page?? Georgia guy 00:50, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I could scan the back of the Series 1995 bill shown on the page. Other than that all I have are Series 1996 and what's in my wallet :P—Scott5114↗ 14:25, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I thought that the word check in it's plural was checks. Maybe I was wrong. Are you sure that its spelled that way? GlassDesk 18:52, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Cheque" is the British spelling. Since this article is about a purely U.S. topic, I've reverted to the U.S. spelling, per the Wikipedia Manual of Style. — Mateo SA (talk | contribs) 21:55, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Should this article feature the Coin Certificate the mint is selling on Silver Leaf? I am the Tape! (talk) 22:58, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not anything the U.S. Mint is doing; it's a "collectible" with almost no actual metal content, created by a private merchant (using the misleading name "National Collectors Mint") which is nominally "legal tender" in Liberia, but is being manufactured and sold in the U.S. It's like some of the more notorious postage stamps that are ground out by various contract printers for sale to philatelists, but see little or no circulation in the countries whose names they bear. --Orange Mike  |  Talk 13:05, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Could someone please explain how the neutraliy of the design controversy section could be questioned.  As I judge it, the dispute over the neutrality of this section shows a right-wing bias---in which patriotism blinds people to being being objective about genocide.  Or is someone suggesting that we should be not just objective about genocide but neutral about genocide?  Should there be a neutral article about Hitler?  I see the value of an objective article about Hitler and an objective article about commemorating Jackson, but is Wikipedia really committed to having a neutral point of view on genocide? -- dan segal  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsegal58 (talk • contribs) 06:57, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

text: The History channels' episode of the American Presidents on Jackson included comments from an ethnic Native American U.S. history professor at a prominent university who tells of Native Americans still refusing the $20 and always asking for 2 $10's instead. Of course I am unable to find a transcript or other source online to back this up. I'll have to order the DVD and post the details later. Alatari (talk) 12:46, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there a reason there is a closeup of the right eye on this page? I understand it looks like his left eye, but the section the picture is in doesn't mention it at all... I had to look at the image description to see why it was on there? Is there any value in keeping this image?
Robert Beck (talk) 23:27, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I don't see any reason to include that particular image. I had to click it as well to find out why it would be included. I also don't really see the right vs. left eye disparity. It just looks like a close-up of an eye. Even if it does look like the wrong eye, that's still a trivia/fun fact kind of thing that doesn't really belong here.Some kind of scientist (talk) 19:20, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Do somebody know the story behind the cat sitting on the roof of the White House on the previous version of the bill - with south side view?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.232.85.82 (talk) 06:47, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a demon cat according to Ukrainian finance news online.

message: Every online resource I've found only talks of the security thread (aka strip) on a $20 glowing green under a black light (series 1996 and later, I think).  I have seen several 2001, 2004, and 2004 A series that glow barely or not-at-all, and are kinda peach color.  Note that the thread is in the green part of the bill, not the peach part.  Failing to find any information on the web, I called my local Secret Service field office, and didn't get a real answer.  The person I spoke with wasn't familiar with the fluorescence of the security threads, and said I should just look at the other security features to determine if the bill was counterfeit. Anyone know more about this? ElApuesto (talk) 19:17, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Each denomination glows a different color. Twenties are green. (You can see a photo of what it's supposed to look like on this article.) It is possible that the bills you have were a different denomination (perhaps tens, which glow orange) and were bleached and reprinted as twenties. What does the text on the security strips say? —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 00:37, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi! I just joined, so please forgive my inability to grasp the coding. I flagged this article as having inaccuracies since many of the sources lead to dead links. Not sure how this process works to notify the original editor. Thanks.Meagh (talk) 01:01, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  This page is outdated 

message: The sizes of present US currency were stated in an info box in metric terms to six digits of precision. I doubted that the printing bureau  ever stated such a precision, or that they regulated the cutters to slice the printed sheets into notes down to +/- .00005 mm for the height and .0005 mm for the width. I found the US government site https://uscurrency.gov/history-american-currency which states the dimensions as 6.14 inches by 2.61 inches, an achievable 3 digits of precision. I suggest that the dimensions of US currency in the infobox should be given in US units rather than metric units. This is not a science article, so metric units being standard for science is not convincing.  I have no serious problem with leaving currency measurements metric, but I strongly object to implying the measurements are specified to 6 digits of precision, which is an artifact of mindlessly using a unit conversion program.

message: I'm not opposed to this change, per se, but I have an issue with the aesthetics of the design of this bill.  All of the current portraits on US currency have the subject of the portraiture somewhat coked to the right, where this is a full frontal portrait of Tubman.  If they would bring the design of the Tubman portrait into parity with the rest of the bills I could get on board with this.  24.51.192.49 (talk) 08:53, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
