Harriet Tubman was scheduled to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill a few years ago. I recall that Trump stopped the process soon after he was sworn in.
Why hasnt it been done by now? I assume that if Trump could stop it, the current Administration could re-instate it.

Id predict in ten years most will use electronic payment even more than they do now which is quite a lot.

In a history-making step, enslaved-liberator and abolitionist Harriet Tubman is scheduled to appear on the $20 dollar bill around 2030. Despite the reluctance that was clearly evinced by former president Donald Trump to proceed with the project, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has affirmed that security and design are moving forward and the $20 bill and other paper currencies ($5, $10, $50, and $100) with new images will be produced in the period between 2026 and 2034.

I'm honestly surprised that EVERY action of trump as president hasn't been individually and meticulously reviewed and rescinded after he planned, directed, encouraged, promoted, and supported the violent insurrectionist activities of Jan. 6.
