Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew is expected to announce today that Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the front of the $20 bill, marking the country's first widely-circulated paper bill to feature a woman or a person of color (or anyone other than an old white man).
Alexander Hamilton will remain on the faces of $10 bills, which contradicts Lew's promise last year to swap the country's first Treasury Secretary out for a woman (the level of popularity for Lin-Manuel Miranda's Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Hamilton likely had something to do with that). Instead, a mural of leaders from the women's suffrage movement will be featured on the back of the 10s.
Jackson isn't getting the boot altogether, though. Sources told Politico that America's seventh president will be demoted to the back of the $20 bill on Tubman's flipside—strange, considering that Jackson was a slave owner.
The new bills will not begin circulating until at least 2030 (redesigning money is no simple task), so it'll be quite a while until you can start making it rain with "Tubman Twenties."
The move is a huge win for feminists, minorities and anyone else across the country who's aware that there are notable American historical figures who were neither white nor male.
