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.'

The new $20. dollar note will not be issues until 2030 at the earliest. Really? Well, the way things are going, there may not even be a United States of American in 2030.

Better than Queen Victoria or Mrs. Obama in my opinion.

I’m almost ready to go back to Indian heads, buffalos and personified ideals (”Liberty”, “Justice” etc.).

Should be Ronald Reagan on the $20.

But we are more likely to get an aircraft carrier named the USS Barack Obama. :(

Then the $20 bill will be relegated to the dustbin where those Susan B. Anthony coins are. I’d rather carry two tens.

Rebecca Ann Latimer Felton.

First woman Senator, still the oldest freshman Senator, a prominent suffragist and a Democrat.

So what if she was once a slave owner and a white supremacist? So were most of the other Democrats at the time.

By 2030 the shenanigans of the communist Obama and his fellow travelers will have been fully reversed, including this nonsense.

I’d be willing to bet that most of the women in U.S. history who made a real difference were Republican...

Jackson was a good president. He was the first populist President, up to then they had all been elitist. He got rid of Biddle and the second federal reserve. Not sure why they put him on the 20 in the first place. I think it was out of spite.
