The real question: why can't the Treasury leave the $10 bill alone, redesign the $20 bill (with Harriet Tubman on both sides), and release that redesign in the 2020s as planned? There is no rush here, so long as it is done. 173.245.50.61 15:34, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
There's been a furor over here in the UK about (losing) a woman from our paper money. (Not the Queen, at least not just yet, although having just turned 90...)

And I couldn't help feeling that the fallout from the referendum, if not other events, might easily make this matter moot. One way or another ;) 141.101.98.137 16:33, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
