WASHINGTON (AP) — A Treasury official says Secretary Jacob Lew has decided to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, making her the first woman on U.S. paper currency in 100 years.The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of Lew's official announcement, says that the 19th century abolitionist and leader of the Underground Railroad, would replace the portrait of Andrew Jackson, the nation's seventh president.The announcement is expected to provide details on other changes being made to the $20, $10 and $5 bills.The decision to place Tubman's portrait on the $20 likely means that Lew has decided to keep Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill, a victory for those who had opposed his initial plan to remove Hamilton.
Nice. Obama getting it done. Not until 2030? (Image removed from quote.)
The $10 bill is the next note scheduled to be redesigned to introduce updated protections against counterfeiting. That redesign was scheduled to be unveiled in 2020, which marks the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote. Lew had often cited that connection as a reason to put a woman on the $10 bill.However, the effort ran into strong objections from supporters of Hamilton, who is enjoying renewed interest with the hit Broadway musical "Hamilton."

Man when these bills hit the deep south When hillbillies have to pay for their beer and cigs with a Tubman $20
Adjusted for inflation in 2030, it will only be worth about $12.

A Jackson play would be way more hip hop than Hamilton.
