Anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman won’t appear on US currency for nearly a decade, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Wednesday.

An image of Tubman, a former slave who helped others escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad, was supposed to replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill next year.

“The primary reason we’ve looked at redesigning the $20 bill is for counterfeiting issues,” Mnuchin said in front of Congress on Wednesday.

“Based upon this, the new $20 bill will now not come out until 2028,” he added.

President Trump criticized the plan to replace Jackson on the note during the 2016 presidential campaign.

“The primary reason we’ve looked at redesigning the $20 bill is for counterfeiting issues,”

Oh, so no one ever tried to counterfeit 20s till last year?

And the 20 dollar bill has never been "redesigned" for that purpose till now?

I did not know that.

Historic figures always have some controversial or problematic aspects, especially if they were active in civic political or religious affairs.

Having said that, I think this NOW could be a very good time for PDJT to announce that the switch to “Tubman” will take place this year.

IMHO

Let’s shoot for 2128. Unless we decide to push it back further.

Yes, but only if the gas company wishes to put her face on their customer’s bills.

Keep her the hell away from our currency.

[D Rider]

Nice to see a gun-toting Christian Republican patriot woman on a bill.

[frank ballenger]

Can’t remember the comedian but the line was “Finally there will be a woman on a $20 bill and that’s something to celebrate. But the thing is, it will still be called a $20 but will be worth $14.”

In other words:

"Not during MY Presidency!"

MORE WINNING!

Will cash still be allowed in 2028?

[Yossarian]

Not old Harriet Tubman, years after the fact of her bravery, out of her prime!

This is the Tubman I'd proudly have in my wallet:
