Harriet Tubman is going to replace former President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, according to a report.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is expected to make the announcement on Wednesday, according to Politico.
Sources told the site that he has also decided to keep Alexander Hamilton on the front of the $10 bill.

Same way all the other dollar coins worked out. Nobody wants the bloody things. That's why they're attacking the $20. EVERYBODY who uses cash uses Twenties. Try to get anything other than a Twenty from an ATM ...
I stand corrected.
Leave Andy da’hail alone! Make a $30 bill with Harriet.
It could have been worse. And Jackson was one of the most corrupt and evil bastards we ever had as President. He never deserved to be on the damn thing to begin with.
That was a design flaw.
I think it is more designed to rewrite history.
Well maybe my bank is unique. But I can get a 5 spot from their ATM.
Don’t complain.....we replaced a Democrat with a Republican.
I think I saw one.....once.
Of course (as I recall) the objection to that was more because people confused the dollar coin with a quarter coin. Plus no one wanted the weight of a dozen coins in their pocket when they could have a bill instead.
But at least it is Tubman, not any of the other possibilities. Tubman was a hardcore Christian Conservative Republican 2nd Amendment Sister.
Jackson was a big government Democrat.
Tubman's Bible and pistol (that she used) are still in display in museums to this day.
Utter BS. That is all you can get out of an ATM that is why they pushed for the 20 instead of the 10. I will make it a point to not carry 20’s.
So it takes 14 years nowadays to change the face on money??,,what the heck??
The Kennedy half dollar came out within a year of JFKs death. Just an observation.
Not surprising.
It must have annoyed the tyrants at the Federal Reserve to no end that someone opposed to central banking was on “their” reserve notes.
Here is our protest:
“Can I have two tens?”
Yep, if it had to be a black woman, I can’t think of a better choice.
Nah, 0bama gets the three............
That's queer.
You can’t compare the Democrats of then to the Democrats of today.
Jackson opposed central banking. That in and by itself is a huge fight for the freedom of the people and their prosperity.
Actually, they plan on eliminating currency. That way they can set negative interest rates without people having any way to avoid them.
Well I’ve never been a fan of commemorating politicians for anything, especially naming buildings, ships, etc. for them
