My first choice was Wilma Mankiller - so appropriate to replace Jackson - Tubman was my very close next choice. It will be great to have the face of such great courage seen daily!

I'm delighted with the choice and happy that I was wrong.

Lovely

... to replace a bigoted, genocidal asshole of a president. Hail Ms.Tubman!

Sadly, there will be some lower life forms from the shallow end of the gene pool that will refuse to use the new twenties, whaddya bet?

It's a long process, but I'm very excited.

I mean seriously, do we have some sort of contract that says we have to keep Jackson on the $20 until 2029? I mean we are finally doing something really amazing with putting not just a woman but a woman of color on our currency but we have to wait another 14 years until we actually see it.

Seriously BULLSHIT!

INDEED. This change to the $20 should be released in 2020 to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment.

I'll (hopefully) be in my eighties by 2030. I'd love to see it before then. And that's not to deny "Old Hickory" bills floating around for years to come.

That's Levon, right? Any story behind it, or just a fan?

I remember it being talked about last year. Before a new bill is released, it goes through a complex process.

It's like a rotation. And it is done a certain way so that new technology is being continuously added to the bills. It's said to be done this way to help stay ahead of counterfeiters.

And it's not just the Treasury Department that has a say when the bills are issued, it's the Federal Reserve too, and also the Secret Service. And I don't see those entities speeding up the rotation just for political purposes.

The good news is the new version of the $10 bill will probably be out around 2020.

it is NOT a back. it is the REVERSE. grow up. i WANNA see a suffragette SCENE.

Absolutely no excuse as to why it took so long.

Next put Tȟašúŋke Witkó (Crazy Horse) on the Fifty.
Put Dread Scott on the Quarter, to remind us African Americans are not partially anything.

SO much better than the genocidal maniac Jackson.

our currency reflect the amazing diversity of our American heroes.

Times they are a changin', and this is a great opportunity for us to push for our currency to reflect our true, but often omitted, American history.

Harriet Tubman was one of the very few black women that I'd heard of historically. Until now, I'd never learned of all of her amazing causes and accomplishments. There are many accomplished white women, but in comparison to Tubman they call to mind the old Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers evaluation, "She did everything he did, but backwards and in high heels." Currency tribute is long overdue for both a female and a Black person. Harriet Tubman is an inspired choice.

our paper money with another Republican is a good idea. Along with Grant and Lincoln that would make three Republicans and zero Democrats if Jackson is removed.

Definitely not defending it, but it stood for much more progressive ideas back then than it does even now.

money. Must have been for his soldiering. He was good at that.

The new $7.50 bill will feature a picture of Sarah Palin on the front, and Ben Carson on the back.

What an insult to put a former slave and a man who owned slaves and committed genocide on native Americans, on the same bill. That's ridiculous. Let's take all former slave owners off the bills, say George Washington (?)

He said he would not be accepting $5 or $20 bills as change when the new bills are issued. He said what she did was against the law and how he would not be using anything from a criminal. No matter how the host tried to talk to him, the guy would hear none of it. The thing is, this is legal tender. If I was a store and the guy would not accept my legal tender, I would just say goodbye to him and let him call the cops. Let him try and explain to the cops why he does not have to accept anything legal. Honestly, it is just a way to hide behind the guy's prejudice's.
