The announcement is expected to come later Wednesday from Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, who will also reveal that a montage of leaders from the women's suffrage movement will be added to the back of the $10. A Treasury official confirmed to CNN that a portrait of Tubman, a women's rights advocate and abolitionist known for bringing slaves to safety on the Underground Railroad, will appear on the $20. The redesigned $10 bill is expected to enter circulation by 2020, though it's unclear what the $20's time frame is. The women pictured on the back of the $10 will be the first to appear on U.S. paper currency in more than 100 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Tubman was a great American and deserves a place on our currency. It's time we recognize that not all great Americans were men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Tubman was a great American and deserves a place on our currency. It's time we recognize that not all great Americans were men. I don't think anyone has a hard time recognizing that. Betsy Ross, Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks are some examples that come to mind. I actually believe that no politician's face should be on our currency, kind of reminds me of what kings used to do to claim that all the money in the kingdom belonged to them.
