A woman representing the struggle for racial equality will replace Jackson
And a mural depicting women's suffrage will appear on the back of the $10 Exactly which woman will appear on the $20 bill is not yet known
But Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks have been selected in an unofficial poll The rear of the $5 will also change, showing events at the Lincoln Memorial
The new $20 notes will not be issued until 2030 at the earliest
No US bills have featured a woman as a central image for over 100 years
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will announce this week that Alexander Hamilton will remain on the $10 bill and Andrew Jackson will be pushed off the $20 note in favor of a woman from American history, CNN said Saturday.
The announcement will come around a year after an online petition called for Jackson to be replaced with a woman, and ten months after Lew announced he wanted to replace Hamilton instead.
But support for the Founding Father to stay picked up steam thanks to the hit Broadway musical 'Hamilton', and now a government source tells CNN that Jackson will get the push instead.
Rather than removing Hamilton from the $10 bill, the rear of the note will instead feature a mural depicting women's suffrage.
And Jackson will be ousted in favor of a woman representing the fight for racial equality, the source said.
But don't expect to be trading in your old notes any time soon - creating a counterfeit-proof bank note requires input from the U.S. Secret Service, the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve.
That means the new $20 note won't be issued until 2030 - at the earliest.
'We should not expedite the issuance of any currency for political purposes.'

Kaiser Wilhelm and Adolf Hitler thought she had “high moral principle.”
Tubman probably believed in, ummmm, God. That won’t do. Obozo could get a very attractive black communist in her glorious prime in Angela Davis or maybe, pal Bill Ayres’ once glorious wife Bernardine the Radical Queen Dohrn who has the additional benefit of being a murderer of at least one police officer. Black Lives Matter, don’tcha know!
An action photo?
Christy Canyon.
next will be, not in any order:
1. black
2. HIspanic
3. indian
4. gay
5 transgender
who did I leave out?
Crazy Horse. Sitting Bull. Chief Joseph. Gall. So many to choose from and so few denominations. Remove Lincoln and Hamilton. Keep Washington.
Looks aren’t everything!
We forgive.
That is a variation of the "tu quoque" fallacy. Just because one person received an unearned honor, does not justify another person receiving an unearned honor.
Since when did earning something matter to the BLM, race-baiting panderers?
It doesn't, and that's why our population is becoming increasingly ungovernable.
There are many quite rational women who's ability to vote would be an asset to the nation. However, I think you and they are vastly outnumbered by the emotional bubble-heads out there.
I think a more equitable and rational solution would be to grant the franchise to anyone who pays taxes, whether they be male or female. This way the sensible's voices could be heard, and the bubble-heads voices could be muted.
It would also get rid of a lot of votes from worthless males.
Well then it's just as well that she never amounted to much on the national scale of things.
Many of the women in the Progressive movement at the turn of the century did quite enough damage with what influence they did wield.
Anna Schwartz’s scholarship and work with Milton Friedman were essential to the development of monetarism, which in turn prescribes the policies by which Reagan and Thatcher conquered inflation in the 1980s and which remain the foundation for the operation of the Fed and other central banks. Quite literally, Anna Schwartz’s work strengthened the US and world economies and enhanced the value of the dollars in your wallet and the worth of your labor. Were Andrew Hamilton able to weigh in, I think that he would endorse Ana Schwartz for the honor of her portrait on the twenty dollar bill.
I hate to be in the position of defending LBJ, because I regard what he did as the single most destructive thing that can be done to a nation, but I have studied the issue for quite awhile and I don't think the entire thing can be blamed on him.
It was the passage of the 24th amendment that killed us, and that was mostly through Republican support. They thought they would gain an additional 10 million newly enfranchised voters by passing the 24th amendment, and all LBJ did was steal those voters from the Republicans by bribing all those newly minted voters with government money.
In hindsight, it was a horrible mistake to open the franchise up to people who did not pay taxes. The connection between government spending and the people who pay the bills was cut with the passage of that 24th amendment.
Voting must NEVER be allowed by people who do not pay the bill. They have no incentive to restrain themselves when government promises them goodies, because they won't be paying the bill.
It is an uncommon sort of person who would not jump at the chance for a free lunch when one is offered, but government's offering free lunches is the seed of our dissolution.
It cannot be sustained, and the load is simply increasing.
The contributions of Milton Freeman himself are not sufficiently (or at least not recognized as such) significant to deserve incorporation onto our currency.
Were Andrew Hamilton able to weigh in, I think that he would endorse Ana Schwartz for the honor of her portrait on the twenty dollar bill.
Perhaps, but i'm not entirely impressed with Hamilton's inclusion on the currency. Yeah, he established a Bank. Yeah he had great influence on early monetary policy.
Would things have been significantly different had he never done any of these things? Maybe, but things may have turned out possibly for the better.
In any case, Anna Schwartz has not been prominent enough in History for most people to notice, and absent that, few can appreciate her contributions to the nation.
But I imagine she's still better than Eleanor or Tubman.
Who gets to make these decisions?
I simply cannot believe the level to which this country has sunk....I can think of a lot of great women in the history of this country....but none come close to the level necessary to be on American currency....Rosa parks indeed...she stood up for her rights in a single incident of racial discrimination, so did a lot of others....she just got publicity....women’s sufferage was an important, but inevitable event...the leaders were, of course “heros” for their cause, but without them, it would certainly have happened anyway.

Milton Friedman won the Nobel prize in economics in 1976, was a potent advocate for free market capitalism, and had a major role in ending routine US military conscription. He is recognized as the most influential economist of the second half of the 20th century. Since we are bound to have a woman on the 20 dollar bill, Anna Schwartz seems like a good choice.
Yeah. that Federal Reserve Act Fixed everything.
