The Treasury Department has scrapped plans for Harriet Tubman to be on the $20 bill, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday.

In response to a question about the status of the bill from Spectrum News, Bessent said the Trump administration was “not at present” planning to place Tubman’s likeness on it.

The Hill reached out to the Treasury Department for comment on the decision.

I'd rather have a gun toting Republican on there than a Democrat.

Does his bank smell like ‘Angel’ by Victoria’s Secret perfume?

I’m ok with bills being presidents or founding fathers

Carriers should stick to being named after battles.

She was going to replace Hamilton on the ten, but the success of the musical derailed that. No way should she replace Jackson, the saviour of New Orleans.

I'm not in favor of replacing any faces currently used on our various currencies, but as an avid outdoorsman I'd love to see Teddy Roosevelt on a $5 coin or $200 bill.

Founder of our national parks, rugged outdoorsman, explorer, military veteran and the OG Republican conservationist. One of my three favorite historical figures, including Nicola Tesla and Vlad III Tepes.
