ARICAN-AMERICAN TO APPEAR IN U.S CURRENCY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE USA HISTORY

Harriet Tubman and Andrew Jackson

The United States is adding a few new faces to its currency.

Harriet Tubman will appear on the front of a new $20 bill to be unveiled in 2020, and a pair of civil rights scenes, one featuring suffragist leaders, will appear on the backs of redesigned $5 and $10 bills, the Treasury
Department said on Wednesday.

The old faces will remain. Alexander Hamilton stays on the front of the $10 and Andrew Jackson moves to the back of the $20. But there will be women in American wallets for the first time in more than a century (when Martha Washington appeared) and African-Americans for the first time in the nation’s history.
