[According to CNN] a "mural-style depiction of the women's suffrage movement" will be added to the back of the 10, in keeping with the Treasury's stated intention of recognizing women's contributions to the civic life of the nation. Looking forward to the candidates. |

I saw on the news that Harriet Tubman is the woman chosen to replace Andrew Jackson.

So at what point would it make sense to hoard the non-colorized Andrew Jackson $20 bills? I realize there are people on here who already do, but I am just wondering from an economic perspective. Would the market for them spike when the Tubman bills are released? If this needs it's own thread please feel free to move it.

I really don't know why they are taking so long to change them. Who knows.

Read that the $20 circulates much more heavily than the $10, and that the decision to change the $10 first was because they already had security features at hand or in place for the $10 but not the $20. The inflow of protests against dumping Hamilton was considerable, apparently fueled by the current Broadway musical of the same name, and so Sec. Lew decided to go with the $20 instead. Apparently, however, the $20 needs many new security features given its popularity, and they don't want to spend the money to redesign it until these features are ready, which could take a number of years.

PS - Sec. Lew recently remarked on his decision to retain Hamilton on the $10 that "Hamilton is very popular at the Treasury, and it is hard to feel, working here, that you are not standing on his shoulders".
I liked that. I am no fan of Lew, but I really liked that.

I can capsulize it for you: I truly believe that jbuck either skipped Civics class in high school, is distantly related to Aaron Burr, or is planning to visit North Korea soon. |

I always felt it ironic that such a proponent and defender of the U.S. Constitution, war hero, and ardent American citizen could never rise to the level of the Presidency. He demonstrated true "statesmanship".

Perhaps not ironic, but certainly fateful. It is doubtful that, had he lived, he could have been elected in the Jeffersonian era.
