Treasury to put Tubman on $20: Official

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will announce Wednesday the decision to keep Alexander Hamilton front and center on the $10 bill and place Harriet Tubman on the $20, Politico first reported.

The decisions will come more than a month after Lin-Manuel Miranda, the star of the Broadway musical "Hamilton," spoke with Lew about keeping Hamilton on the $10 bill, and about a year after Women on 20s, a nonprofit organization, began a movement to replace former President Andrew Jackson with a woman on the $20.

A Treasury official later told CNBC that Tubman will replace Jackson on the $20, but stopped short of confirming that Hamilton had survived.

"Hamilton" won a Pulitzer Prize for best drama on Monday.

Originally, Lew said Hamilton would be replaced by a woman on the $10. "With such a wide reach, America's currency makes a statement about who we are and what we stand for as a nation," he said June 17, adding that "this decision of putting a woman on the $10 bill reflects our aspirations for the future as much as a reflection of the past."

The original plan was never commentary on the first U.S. Treasury secretary.

The Treasury had said in 2013 that it had selected the $10 bill for the next redesign, and the department announced that the new note will be the first of the next democracy-themed generation of currency.

Politico also reported there will be some changes to the $5 bill that will depict civil rights era leaders.

(not the actual design, but a concept)

With that face looking at me I would not be carrying many $20 bills.

She is already encouraging you to save

Hell yeah, good call. Hamilton was awesome and Jackson was a piece of shit and an enemy of central banking. Why he'd be honored on a federal reserve note is beyond me.

[Garnier Fructis]

I'm glad they decided to get rid of Jackson instead of Hamilton.

[dbudd424]

Is it wrong that I wish they would put her on the dollar bill instead. My George Washington jokes while giving them to strippers is getting old.

[Kujako]

Still say they should just re-issue the education notes.

Women all over em, the 2$ even had Martha Washington on the back.

[GennGreymane]

I;d be down for those too.

[Titan2k10]

I will no longer be utilizing or accepting $20 dollar bills.

The half-naked boy, is kinda creepy in a Dennis Hassert kinda way.

Because they're replacing a genocidal asshole who tried to kill central banking with a woman who saved countless slaves?

[Sinndra]

they will be accepted forms of currency everywhere i shop, i will spend them however i wish.

its more likely that i dont give a crap who's face is where, i use electronic forms of currency mainly anyhow.

[Martymark]

Thank god I mostly use a debit card now. I'm going to be keeping those hideous things out of my wallet.

[Tijuana]

INB4 Harriet Tubman shaming your for things that cost twenty bucks memes.

[Titan2k10]

Because they're replacing a genocidal asshole who tried to kill central banking with a woman who saved countless slaves?

Maybe because there were more influential women in history? Gee ever think about that? Fucking SJW thinking they know everything.

I haven't used paper money in years, nor do I care whose face is on it. I do like how some other countries do their currency with the different colors for different denominations though. Makes it easy to see at a glance how much you have or what you are handing over.

Hell yeah, good call. Hamilton was awesome and Jackson was a piece of shit and an enemy of central banking. Why he'd be honored on a federal reserve note is beyond me.

that's kinda what i was thinking. Hamilton is essentially the founding father of wallstreet and capitalism. he really should be on our money whether you like those two things or not haha.

[Titan2k10]

No one cares.

I think you're a douche too.

As a user of plastic everywhere in the USA, doesn't affect me one bit. I do think it's rather odd that the demonize 'slave owner' Andrew Jackson as some quasi excuse...what about George Washington? Why does George Washington the slave owner get to stay on the quarter and 1 dollar bill?
