Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will make an announcement today about several changes to U.S. currency. Contrary to a suggestion last year, Alexander Hamilton will apparently be staying on the $10 bill but women’s rights leaders will be added to the back of the bill. The big change will be to the $20 bill according to Politico:
Treasury will also announce that it plans to replace former President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman, the sources said. There will also be changes to the $5 bill to depict civil rights era leaders. The Treasury Department announced last June that a woman would replace Hamilton on the $10 bill, though at the time Treasury was said to be seeking input about which woman would appear on the bill.
The suggestion to replace Hamilton met with backlash from people who a) thought Hamilton as the first Treasury Secretary should remain on the nation’s money, b) people who thought Andrew Jackson should be removed from the $20 instead, and c) people who worried a woman would wind up sharing space with Hamilton on the $10 instead of getting a bill of her own. It appears Treasury heard the critics.
CNN reports the changes to the $20 bill will take some time:
“The soonest that a new $20 note will be issued is 2030,” the source said, citing a lengthy process convened by the Advanced Counterfeit Deterrence steering committee, which includes representatives from the U.S. Secret Service, the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve.
That process isn’t likely to be sped up by the Federal Reserve, which issues the currency, given the work that goes into designing secure technology to thwart counterfeiters.
The new $10 bill is scheduled to be released in 2020.

Payback time.
Subject to change of course.
Homer Simpson will be on the 100.
2030 huh.
Chances are remote I’ll ever see the new $20.
Seniority has its rewards.
That's almost hard to believe. It's certainly possible that a future administration might change those plans during the next fourteen years.
In 14 years, the only folks still using cash would be those people who participate in the black market.
Obama is doing just to cause trouble ,he thinks no one will cancel it and if they do his people will raise up and hand the country back to him
It is nice that Obama can take our minds off an economy that is close to collapse.
This clown cannot be removed from the White House soon enough.

Count me in as well. Vinnie.
2030? So this is bait to get Blacks to vote for Hillary in 2016. The Dems can count on their base to be ignorant enough to fall for empty gestures such as this.
or a future President could include all the crap Obama has done in a Budget cut
Isn't that........wait for it.....it's coming.....RACIST?
It simply proves to me that even our currency is an ephemeral and changeable political construct.
A couple months after Trump announced he was running, some MSM hack asked Trump which woman he’d like to see on the bill, Trump dead panned and responded, “My Mother.”
I guess they want to remove all 10s and 20s before releasing these..
Hhhhmmmmm....no money in circulation...now that’s a thought
Persons:
Founder? Nope.
Framer? Nope.
President? Nope.
Symbols:
Lady Liberty? Nope.
An eagle? Nope.
Anything else, hell no.
The good news is, I’ll probably be Dead by the time this ridiculous Liberal Orgasm is foisted upon the Nation.
There is no rhyme, no reason, no congruity. Why don't we slap these guys on the back of one, too? At least they made people laugh.
who/what is going to be on the new trillion dollar bill?
