Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Wednesday will announce a decision to keep Alexander Hamilton on the front of the $10 bill and put leaders of the movement to give women the right to vote on the back of the bill, sources tell POLITICO.
Treasury will also announce that it plans to replace former President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman, the sources said. There will also be changes to the $5 bill to depict civil rights era leaders.
Lew's decision comes after he announced last summer that he was considering replacing Hamilton on the $10 bill with a woman. The announcement drew swift rebukes from fans of Hamilton, who helped create the Treasury Department and the modern American financial system. Critics immediately suggested Lew take Jackson off the $20 bill given the former president's role in moving native Americans off their land. Jackson may remain on the $20 bill in some capacity.
YAAAAAAAS
The fact that they were thinking of removing Hamilton and keeping that vile man on the 20 dollar bill
Isn't he only on there because he was the last president to reside over either a debt-free or deficit-free America?
Either way, it seems pretty shady that they put him on there to begin with because he was against federal banks and vehemently opposed paper money They basically embarrassed him for the past 100+ years.
