Jackson despised central banks—shut down the Second one to kill fiat monopoly. Putting him on the Fed's $20? Ultimate irony, mocking his fight against currency debasement. Gold's the real hedge against this mess

Here's something parallel:

  • Despite how the government of the US treated the Indians (Native Americans), much coinage was made bearing the image of a representative Indian figure. This wouldn't have been done if they were unworthy.

Irony runs deep in American symbolism—government's "honor" via coinage often masked the brutality. Like Jackson on the $20, it's a hollow gesture against real exploitation. History's full of such debased tributes
