Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Wednesday will announce plans to both keep Alexander Hamilton on the front of the $10 bill and to knock Andrew Jackson off the front of the $20 in favor of Harriet Tubman, sources tell POLITICO.
Lew is expected to roll out a set of changes that also include putting leaders of the women’s suffrage movement on the back of the $10 bill, and incorporating civil rights era leaders and other important moments in American history into the $5 bill.

Also, Jackson isn’t getting completely booted off the $20 bill. He’s likely to remain on the back.
Lew's reversal comes after he announced last summer that he was considering replacing Hamilton on the $10 bill with a woman. The plan 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.
Lew told POLITICO last July that Treasury was exploring ways to respond to critics. “There are a number of options of how we can resolve this,” Lew said. “We’re not taking Alexander Hamilton off our currency.”
Supporters of putting a woman on the $10 bill have complained that it will take too long to put a woman on the $20 bill. But people familiar with the matter said new designs for the bills should be ready by 2020. Treasury is likely to ask the Federal Reserve, which makes the final decision, to speed the process and get the bills into circulation as quickly as possible.
The movement to keep Hamilton on the $10 bill gathered strength after the Broadway musical named after the former Treasury Secretary and founding father became a runaway smash hit.
“Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda even directly lobbied Lew last month on Hamilton’s behalf, after which Miranda said Lew told him “you’re going to be very happy” with the redesign plan.
Reaction to Tubman, a Civil War-era abolitionist, replacing Jackson on the front of the $20 was widely positive. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) tweeted: "If this is true, great news! Tubman on $20 is the right call. The redesign needs to happen as soon as possible. Women have waited long enough."

They should just make some new (or previously discontinued) bills and put women on all of them.
$40 bill, $200 bill, $500 bill, $1000 bill

Andrew Jackson was a terrible human being. Pretty sold nickname tho.

This was the right thing to do. Jackson was terrible and Hamilton was awesome (a fact people are now thankfully realizing).

now get rid of the penny and nickel and replace the 1, 2 and 5 bills with coins.

This would destroy the stripper industry.

it'd be like the $15 minimum wage. some jobs would be lost, but the remaining workers would earn a living wage.

So minimum tip would be $10. (Is it called a tip when you put money in a strippers g-string or is there another word for it? LSIQ)

One time I saw a video of a stripper spitting out coins from a part of her body that I wouldn't want to touch the coins after they'd been in there...........Is that what you mean??

Strippers even take Powerball tickets.

Might be a bit painful when wannabe rappers make it rain with those coins.
-
Why do we have faces on our money anyway, this isn't a God damned monarchy despite what queen barry thinks!
-
buildings and animals would be nice. maybe even plants and landscape features.
-
or just cover them in small print text of stuff we believe. like that hippie soap.

Advertising space sold to the highest bidder.

Probably a good opportunity to just go cashless
-
Good God! carrying coins? Might as well go back to barter system and carry chickens and lead cows around with me everywhere.
-
Yeah, your coin system sucks sys

i like coins.
wow, salt of the earth type opinion there.

I dislike jingle pockets.

Only need nickel dime and quarter. 1, 5, 10, and 100 can keep Washington, Lincoln, Hamilton, and Franklin (at least on the front) and the backs should have rotating great americans, kinda like the what the british do (think like a bill for 3-5 years having people from Rosa Parks to Eisenhower to Frederick Douglass to Jonas Salk to Mark Twain, etc). Front of 20 and 50 have women, backs of those can also have rotating great americans.

love the idea of selling ads on the paper money.

Think about the potential for promotional marketing of discounts for goods paid with said bills, 15% off of KFC when purchased with KFC promoted currency.
What is more capitalist than this? Nothing!

I feel like if Bernie adopted sponsored money, that would be a fair compromise. Fair enough to have a guy like me vote for a guy like him.
