Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is expected to announce this week that Alexander Hamilton's face will remain on the front of the $10 bill and a woman will replace Andrew Jackson on the face of the $20 bill, a senior government source told CNN on Saturday.


quote:

Along those lines, Lew also plans to announce this week that Andrew Jackson -- a less beloved former president whose face graces the front of the $20 bill -- will be removed in favor of a female representing the struggle for racial equality, according to the government source.

That decision would place a female on one of the most widely circulated bills in the world. But the historic change placing a female on the front of the $20 note won't come for more than a decade, the source said, since the process for changing the design of that note is still in the early stages.

Sorry if Germans, I searched, I think its ridiculous, they can have the 10

Here's to you Jackson:

Who the hell does Jack Lew think he is? First it's denying enacting what were clearly retroactive and targeted rules on corporate inversions, now this shite. He's like a mini-tyrant or something. Get ready for Harriet Tubman on the $20, everybody.

Troll anyone? Earliest these could see circulation is 2030 and any treasury secretary before then could crater the whole deal. Posturing by a politician on his way out the door. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Clearly no one read the actual article.

ETA: Quote from article:
quote:

Future Treasury Secretaries -- of which there will be several -- could reverse or alter the decision regarding the $20, making Lew's announcement far less of a clear-cut victory for the movement pushing to place a woman on American currency.

Not shocking considering he was a racist slave owner.

I'm going to glue Jackson's picture to the front of my debit card - the white man's currency.

Luckily, the popularity of the play Hamilton has probably saved the man from a similar fate.

Though I feel more Tumblrinas would prefer Lin-Manuel Miranda anyway...

Trump might put Rosie O'Donnell's arse on it. And I mean literally, her arse.

Honestly I think it is time to give women a place here. Who gives a flip. Now that other shite about statues and monuments is a whole different story.

It's not that they'd put a woman on money, I love women.

It's the reasoning behind it and the kind of women they they'd stick on the 20$.

It's ridiculous. Women already control all the money. They want to stick them on it too?

What's awful is that Jackson was such a phenomenal president. Seriously take Grant off instead if you're going to take a president off

Susan B Anthony is on the quarter impersonator, and Sacajawea is on some coin.

If they are going to replace him with a chick, hopefully they replace him with Tori Black. She would be perfect on a $20

Why not make another legal tender with a woman on it?

True that. I just don't give a shite it's money. I just don't understand fricking with history and the statues. What is done and will not be undone but too blame shite on that for all your current shortcomings just floors me.
