Not
just the $20 but the $5 and $10 will also undergo major changes according to a recent announcement by the
Treasury Department. The new $20 will feature
Harriet Tubman on the front and President
Andrew Jackson on the back. The back of the $10 will be changed to feature major figures in the women's suffrage movement--
Lucretia Mott,
Sojourner Truth,
Susan B. Anthony,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and
Alice Paul--while
Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, will remain on the front. The $5, meanwhile, will retain the picture of
Abraham Lincoln on the front, but the back will change to feature people who had famous events at the Lincoln Memorial,
Martin Luther King, Jr.,
Marian Anderson, and
Eleanor Roosevelt.
The Treasury said that the new bills will be formally unveiled in 2020. The last time U.S. currency received major portrait changes was between 1914 and 1928: $10: Andrew Jackson to Alexander Hamilton; $20: Grover Cleveland to Andrew Jackson; $500: John Marshall to William McKinley; and, $1000: Alexander Hamilton to Grover Cleveland.
