On 22 April 2016, satire web site National Report published a fake news article reporting that the $20 bill was no longer considered legal tender in North Carolina: While Harriet Tubman's inclusion on the $20 bill was met with mixed reactions, North Carolina has not passed any laws prohibiting payment with $20 bills in the state. National Report is a well-known entertainment and fake news site that does not publish factual stories: The decision to include Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill spawned a number of rumors and hoaxes, such as a fake news story about Klan members committing suicide, an exaggerated claim that Tubman was a gun-toting Democrat shooting Republican, and at least one misattributed quote.
