Notorious slaver Andrew Jackson to be removed from the $20 bill and replaced by a prominent woman
Dailymail ^ | 17 April 2016 | By James Wilkinson

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.'

There are no sufficiently noteworthy women in American History. England yes, but in US History? No. Not even close.

Washington and Jefferson were also “slavers” weren’t they?

A social change regarding which I am becoming increasingly convinced was a mistake.

If Harriet was a lesbo, they’d hit the trifecta.

Just the back of the five will change. Abe gets to keep his face on the five dollar bill.

I thought they were already getting the $10.00 bill. Obama can KMA. He hates America and our history. The dumbasses still elected him. Twice! What a bunch of retards. The communists must erase all of our history and our identity before they can successfully put us into their chains of communist slavery.

Yep. And they're the ultimate target. I believe in our lifetime we'll see a concerted effort to change the name of "Washington D.C." to something else. First they wanted to change "Redskins", next they'll go for the "Washington."

Sad, sad, sad that one of the greatest presidents is removed from the bill. (Note: the last president to stand up to, and defeat, a CENTRAL BANK, and the US prospered because of that into the 20th century. One brave man, AND a man of the PEOPLE.)
