The change to Tubman may not take place anytime soon. CNN reported Sunday the soonest the U.S. could see the new $20 would be 2030. A Treasury official did not immediately return a request for more information on when Tubman could feasibly appear on the $20 note.

WHAT THE FUCK!
I remember in 2008 when the end of the State Quarters was near - they were already planning the next round of quarters with the National Parks quarters.
The country is finally doing the right thing with adding not just a woman but a woman of color to the $20 bill but we will all have to wait 14 years until we see it.
I'm calling BULLSHIT.
I understand it might take a year or so to design the bill but they should be able to get this new bill ready to roll out by 2020.

I might not be alive by the original release date. Phooey.
I want to not only see these new bills, but USE them.

replace Jackson with Ronald Reagan

(2,593 posts)5. Crazy, huh? I think you may be right about the
reason for the delay. It allows too much time for the RW zealots to get all riled up about it.
Just do it!

(51,308 posts)3. yeah, I want to see these bills.
It's about time, and 2030 is WAY too late for the rollout.

and we can put whomever we want on our $20 bills. I plan on putting Robert Plant on mine

Lew said that he had already directed the Bureau of Printing and Engraving to accelerate the process for these bills. He wouldn't name a specific date for their release, but said that a rumored date of 2030 "is not a date that has any status."

There are security issues in the bill that need to be addressed first.
