US Treasury: Hamilton to stay on $10 bill, Tubman to replace Jackson on $20
- Page 1 of 1
Lew's decision comes after he announced last summer that he was considering replacing Hamilton on the $10 bill with a woman. The announcement drew swift rebukes from fans of Hamilton, who helped create the Treasury Department and the modern American financial system. Critics immediately suggested Hamilton take Jackson off the $20 bill given the former president's role in moving native Americans off their land. Jackson may remain on the $20 bill in some capacity.
Great news. Apparently women's suffrage leaders will be added to the back of the $10 and civil rights leaders will be added to the back of the $5.

That's awesome new. I was worried they would replace Hamilton. I wonder is the new Broadway play had anything to do with this?

It's about time we had a woman and PoC on a bill. Even better that she's replacing Jackson, who was a vile human being.
By Fenderputty Go To PostCurious how the right reacts …Trump's treasury secretary Carl Icahn will put Gordon Gekko on the newly-reissued $1,000,000 bill.
So this will be in circulation around 2020? Am I reading this right?
Also why does it take so long to change it? You can make movies and video games in a shorter time than changing the design of a bill

I thought I saw 2030 lol
By 33MillionDollarMen Go To PostThe funniest part is how being on that 20 was also an affront to Jackson's own economic stances.It won't stop the usual suspects from finding something to bitch about. No way they'll stand by as a white man loses out to a black woman.
And 2020 is some Square announcement type shit. Like just don't say anything and then drop them in our laps by the end of the month.

Supporters of putting a woman on the $10 bill have complained that it will take too long for the $20 bill to come up for a redesign. But people familiar with the matter said new designs for the bills should be ready by 2020. Treasury is likely to ask the Federal Reserve, which makes the final decision, to expedite the process and get the bills into circulation as quickly as possible.

I think I read in a website somewhere that they wouldn't be pressed in large numbers until 2030. Keep in mind that sounds like an insane amount of time to postpone this too. So hopefully it's until 2020
Apparently the $10 was next up for redesign, then the $5.
Lew said that he hopes to have the new $20 design ready by 2020 but yeah it'll take longer than that to get it into circulation.

I can't get used to new money. Everytime I get a quarter now, i look at it and think i'm in another country or something.
New money is kinda jarring at first. I like how the euro changes size depending on the denomination. Not necessarily the designs, but sizes makes sorting and finding easier.
I cant believe people care about who is on a dollar bill. Ok, i understand you think it sucks to bump someone off but really its just money. Stick em on a 2, a 5, a 10, a 20 does it really fucking matter?

not to the extent where someone really cares this much that a black person who died over 100 years ago gets put on currency.
