BREAKING Big Changes for the $5, $10 and $20 Bills; Martin Luther King and Eleanor Roosevelt Among Others Will Be Featured

 In a letter to the American people, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew today announced plans for the new $20, $10 and $5 notes, with the portrait of Harriet Tubman to be featured on the front of the new $20.

Secretary Lew also announced plans for the reverse of the new $10 to feature an image of the historic march for suffrage that ended on the steps of the Treasury Department and honor the leaders of the suffrage movement—Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Alice Paul.  The front of the new $10 note will maintain the portrait of Alexander Hamilton.

Finally, he announced plans for the reverse of the new $5 to honor events at the Lincoln Memorial that helped to shape our history and our democracy and prominent individuals involved in those events, including Marian Anderson, Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther King Jr.

The reverse of the new $20 will feature images of the White House and President Andrew Jackson.

In his letter, Secretary Lew noted that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing will work closely with the Federal Reserve to accelerate work on the new $20 and $5 notes, with the goal that all three new notes go into circulation as quickly as possible, consistent with security requirements.

  1. Great. Fabulous.
    Wake me up when Karl Marx gets placed on a FedRez Note.
    Mebbe they'll make a DocuDrama about when Marx was almost murdered in Mississippi or somethin'. They haven't picked on Alabama lately. Mebbe they could show how the Klan messed up the sewer system and Engels showed the County Commission how they should have saved the day.
    It never ends.

  7. Who cares? Can't imagine these changes will cost taxpayers any more than the regularly scheduled security mark changes.

    I'm waiting for the day Walmart issues Walbucks as legal tender with Sam Walton's face on the front. Maybe a bunch of fat asses in too tight, stained sweatpants on the back.

  8. This makes NO sense! We have nickles dimes and quarters, Why not make a $25.00 bill? No one will feel 'left out'. They can design a whole new scheme/layout on the new bill, make it out of a more durable substance, and make it as colorful as they want. PLUS, they only have to print 4 instead of 5 to make $100.00! Apparently no one put much thought into this...

  12. I can't decide which failure I want to use as an analogy: Diocletian or New Coke.

  13. This like when a waining sitcom introduces a new character hoping to revitalize the show.

    Maybe when the dollar collapses they'll just blame all the sexists and racists who didn't like the new designs.

  14. This is the ultimate distraction

    Misleading the population and the world into thinking that the US Treasury / Federal Reserve etc are progressive organisations that care about positive social change.

    Brilliant PR move.... Bravo.... Bravo... Well played!
