Harriet Tubman will be on the $20 bill-- $10 and $5 bills changing, too

[Remurr]

The idea that Susan B. Anthony will replace Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill was proposed a few months back, but a vote passed and the treasury announced today (Wednesday) that Harriet Tubman will be replacing Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill while Hamilton remains on the $10 bill.

Apparently, Jackson is being pushed to the back of the bill with Tubman on the front rather than Tubman entirely replacing Jackson.

The $10 and $5 bills are changing as well. Here's a breakdown of the newest currency:

harriet tubman was the lady from the underground railroad who helped free a bunch of slaves

andrew jackson dismantled the national bank of america or something but apparently started the trail of tears. i always found it hilariously ironic that someone who was against a national bank was on federal currency-- i'd imagine that's the LAST thing he'd want lol

Why replace Jackson?  He was a loving badass

Replace Hamilton, he proposed a central bank which is what the federal reserve is and that is a huge part of the reason why the US dollar is being devalued so bad

didn't we "replace" the $10, $5, and $50 already? I remember hearing this stuff but I've never seen a bill with someone else on it.

[Private McDoggy]

That's loving stupid

[ultimamax]

andrew jackson was a stuffty person and he didnt even support federal currency

there's no reason for him to be on our money. harriet tubman is a way better figurehead

[sir dooble]

so does that mean it's now worth $12?

[Donnies Catch]

awesome

[McZealot]

andrew jackson was a horrible person and wouldn't even want to be on federal currency anyway. harriett tubman really doesn't seem like my first pick for currency but i do think it's nice to finally get something other than old white men on the dollar bill.
