You usually expect to find retro-tokenism in corporate reports, not on the back of the new $2 bill.

UBER FAIL
It's that time of year already?
I don't get it...
Links or it didn't happen.
This is rumored to be John Hanson.
The first US black president.
He was on the back of the older (prior to 1990) 2 dollar bill and then put back in 2009.
He and 6 other presidents after him have been excluded because the Article of confederation did not work well. When the (as we know it) constitution was written everything that happened prior to that date has been erased or forgotten or simply omitted.
As Washington was a slave owner having a Black man as first US president was not the most perfect thing back then.

Posting an April Fool's joke is bad enough. Doing it when the blog still says March 31st deserves some form of gunishment. You swine!
I was in Target the other day and saw the cover of Rob Schneider's new direct-to-DVD movie, Big Stan. A Photoshop Disaster if ever I saw one.

Fabulous April Fools joke :-D

Is this an April Fool's?

jlhpisces, your linked page says the $2 is still in circulation but they just don't print it as often.
I don't think this is epic enough for April fools, push the bar! :p

April Fools, my friends. :)
I think this is absolutely an April Fools joke. Isn't it?
You've had 364 days and this is the best you can do?
365 days. 2008 was a leap year. You lose!
(Actually, April 1st comes after February 29th, so it would make no difference.)
Well, since the color of the "ink" doesn't even remotely match, I'd say this "joke" is an unconvincing disaster. And a questionably racist one at that.
Wait, isn't Jefferson on the $2? Clearly that's supposed to be one of his kids.
i agree w/ health - strike 2 photoshop disasters
@Heath: How could this be racist then?
if you want to get into the nitty gritty, this is a depiction of something that never happened. we all know that the declaration of independence was not completely signed on the fourth of july, more like the 17th...at which point not all of the people were able to be their for a picture/ painting to be created.
I have a $2 dollar bill from 1995 with this on it. I always thought it was a misprint. I also have a 2003 one. I have older ones, but they have Monticello on the back.
John Hanson wasn't black.

@Marvin Chery : John Hanson was as white as snow. John Hanson, Liberian politician in the 1780, was black, but he was never anywhere near a Congress seat.
