$20: Harriet Tubman will be on the front, Andrew Jackson moves to the back
$10: back will show a 1913 march for women’s suffrage and Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Sojourner Truth
$5: back will honor the Civil Rights movement by showing Martin Luther King Jr., Eleanor Roosevelt, and Marian Anderson
Sounds like a good plan. Hamilton was spared thanks to Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Marian Anderson;
bout time we had an opera singer on the $5
The question I heard today from my young AA wife of a disabled vet co-worker “So, they think this is going to make any kind of difference?”
I am glad it makes some people, and groups of people, happy to see certain kinds of people on our currency, because frankly my dear, I don’t give a d##n! LOL, hardly ever touch the stuff any more. 
What’s the point of having multiple personas on a single bill? Doesn’t Harriet Tubman merit a note in her own right, as does Hamilton and the others? Why do women have to share a note with someone else’s profile? I am not certain that I would support change for change’s sake, but other nations update their bills with different images so why don’t we? Incidentally, Tubman is a great choice. Oh, and here’s a peeve of mine; bring back the Susan B. Anthony and the Sacajawea dollar coins!!!
I think it’s great and I can’t wait to see the new money.
will anyone still use paper money in 2020?
… that said, I’m fully supportive of these changes.
It does make a difference. Our currency has faces of figures in American history that represent aspects of our country. To not have any women on it, is a statement in itself. Further, by honoring women who had an impact on our country, it further inspires girls and young women who should know these historical women’s stories and know that they too can make an impact. Moreover, the choice of leaders of the women’s suffrage movement is important because they fought for equality for women and for women’s rights in a significant way and it is still an issue needing work in our country. Tubman is an American hero and is not only a strong woman to be honored, by also an African American woman. Our currency should reflect the varied heroes that have made our country great and reflect the make up of the country.
(I’ll admit that my young adult daughter is writing an original musical about the woman’s suffrage movement focusing on one of the woman who will be depicted on the new currency)
In response to post number 5, my understanding is that Harriet Tubman will be on the front, where Andrew Jackson currently is. The scenes with multiple people with be on the backs of the $5, $10 and $20 bills, where, for example, (on the $10) the Treasury Building currently is.
There will always be people who want to be paid in cash to avoid paying taxes.
^^soozievt-- I wish your D the success of Hamilton, the play.
I do not notice who is on the currency, coins or paper. So I personally do no care.But others do.
So to have, at this point in our history, only white men representing our country on our currency is outdated and, well BS! Women and people of various ethnic backgrounds have made significant contributions and should be represented.
They should set a theme and then pick people based on that and change the theme every 5-10 years. Like they did with the quarters.
It will be great to see these changes. Our currency has been so static, so rigid, for too long. Starting with the state quarters, things began to get interesting. I’m tired of important American women being put on currency that isn’t commonly used so this is a promising change.
When women entered historically male-dominated professions, the pay dropped.
Now as women are finally appearing on our currency, we’re abandoning paper for plastic & PayPal.
They’re a day late and a dollar short…
Stupid waste of money, more so that picking a person based on skin color and/or anatomy is plain wrong. Hve fun attacking me as much as you want…
It really isn’t a waste of money. They were planning on changing the bills anyways to keep ahead of counterfeiters. I am ok with taking Jackson off the $20. Aside from his views on Indians and slavery, he didn’t like banks. He probably wouldn’t want to be on the $20. I just wish it wasn’t Harriet. I am kind of over her from reading about her every year in 4th grade. I would have gone with Sacajawea. She was an amazing woman.
…interesting notion about artists working for free, I hope that they will get paid though!
I like Hamilton the Broadway show, but I think it’s ridiculous if the Treasury Secretary really was swayed by Lin Manuel’s plea to keep Hamilton on the $10 bill.
Aside from Harriet Tubman, why are the women being relegated to the back of the bills?
