 Numismatic News - Did Andrew Jackson win the 2016 Presidential election? With Donald Trump winning the White House Nov. 8 and naming his own Secretary of the Treasury early next year, the decision to replace Jackson on the $20 Federal Reserve Note could be revisited. Back in April, President Barack Obama's Treasury Secretary Jack Lew made sweeping decisions about who should go on the nation's paper money as it is redesigned in the decade of the 2020s. Jackson was just one change. The backs of the $5 and the $10 were also earmarked for alteration. Jackson's portrait has been on American paper money for a century and on the current size $20 since the Series 1928 Federal Reserve Notes were put into circulation in 1929. Lew chose Harriet Tubman, a former slave, abolitionist and women's rights advocate to replace Jackson, America's seventh President. Lew was reacting to a public pressure campaign from the Women on 20s effort that selected Tubman in an online vote in 2015. Read the Entire Article Subscribe to Numismatic News

I think the incoming president has "bigger fish to fry" than changing the photos on U.S. currency!

As far as elected & government people on our coins and currency I really dislike them, I wish they would move back to a more of a symbolic nature such as the Mercury dime,Indian cents,Buffalo nickels,Barber dimes,seated liberty dimes.etc etc. As the song goes they had class they had style.

I really do not care who or what is on each paper denomination, as long as the one dollar note is removed from circulation.   |

Circulating commemoratives honoring our past designs, anyone?

No chance of general circulation without a complete design change for regular issues. Commens have never circulated widely in well over a hundred years.
